By John McCarthy–The University of Louisville plans to allow 18,000 fans to attend football games this fall at Cardinal Stadium. Cardinal Stadium staff will be conducting temperature checks at entrances and facial coverings will be required. While excitement builds for the progression of the 2020 football season, U of L is taking financial hits. Reducing the seating capacity of Cardinal Stadium by 42,800 seats will cost U of L approximately $10 million in lost revenue. However, all of these sacrifices will allow the Cardinals to look ahead and focus on the upcoming 2020 football season.
