Game time has now been set for the Family Weekend football game. UofL will play host to Samford on Sept. 26 at 6:00 pm at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium. Therefore, our pre-game tailgate/meal will run from 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium.
Below is an update on four categories: 1) Ticket distribution procedures; 2) Pre-game tailgate meal & football game location; 3)Parents Association Tailgate Map; 4) Schedule of events connected to Family Weekend.
1) Family Weekend Ticket Distribution
In order to provide the football game tickets, we work through the university Athletics Department and reserve a block of tickets for the game. Since this is a block of tickets set aside for Family Weekend, we are NOT able to mail the tickets prior to the event and tickets are NOT available for pickup at Will Call.
During the week of Sept. 21-25, we offer a full week for tickets/pre-game meal ticket/t-shirt pickup for you or your student stop by our office in the Student Activities Center (SAC) Room 310 to pick up the items for Family Weekend. Staff will be on hand with a confirmation spreadsheet to verify your ticket allotment purchased.
In the pickup packet, we will provide game tickets (if purchased in advance), pre-game meal tickets (if purchased in advance), maps, and a schedule of details for the entire slate of events happening at UofL and in the city of Louisville during Family Weekend.
Family Weekend materials distribution will be available in the Student Involvement Office in the Student Activities Center (SAC), Room 310. Follow this link to download a PDF of the campus map http://louisville.edu/about/campuses.html
