Louisville Live Sets The Stage For Legendary Weekend

Verbal fireworks is the only thing to adequately describe what is going on this weekend as a Louisville fan to Louisville fans. There should be some sort of fireworks ceremony that takes place on Thursday night to kick off a historic weekend of Louisville athletics.

Friday night is the night for Louisville Live, the event that kicks off the 2022-2023 basketball season. Coach Kenny Payne and Coach Jeff Walz will be in attendance as these two programs celebrate the city of Louisville as well as the history and future of Cardinal basketball.

The hosts of Louisville Live will be local legends Peyton Siva and Angel McCoughtry, leading the charge beginning at 8 pm. at Louisville Slugger Field. Tickets are on sale for only $15.

Also, there is set to be a performance from Louisville native Jack Harlow and the potential for even more surprise guests.

Master P has a connection to Louisville through his son, sophomore guard Hercy Miller. Bryson Tiller and EST Gee also join Jack Harlow as fellow artists from The Ville. And Donovan Mitchell spent two seasons here before taking his talents to the NBA.

The Louisville football team is set to take on the Pittsburgh Panthers on the gridiron this homecoming weekend. The Cardinals have never lost on homecoming weekend under current head coach Scott Satterfield.

This is a significant week for the Cards because Satterfield needs this win to keep the momentum rolling after their win over Virginia. Starting quarterback Malik Cunningham is expected to suit up for his team and lead them against the Panthers. Malik has the ability to create offense with both his arm and his legs and gives the offense some variety in plays they can call.

In the stands supporting the Cardinals will be two of the 2023 recruits in offensive linemen Madden Sanker and Luke Burgess, plus more! It will be exciting to have them on campus to experience Card Nation’s support in person!

Building off of Louisville Live, the men’s basketball team is set to play their Red vs. White Scrimmage on Sunday afternoon at 3 pm. The scrimmage will be held at the KFC Yum! Center and tickets can be purchased online.

Newly named captains El Ellis, Sydney Curry, and Jae’Lyn Withers will seek to lead their squad in a fun, successful intra-squad scrimmage as they kick off the inaugural season for Coach Kenny Payne.
