Dr. Mark & Cindy Lynn Stadium

It’s built to watch soccer, and you can buy beer! What else can I say? Great view of the field. If you like trains, one is likely to go past right outside the stadium.

I’ll start by saying there isn’t a University of Louisville athletic facility that doesn’t deserve five stars. Lynn Stadium is no different.
This place made a great addition to the University of Louisville in the 2014 season. A very short walk from Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium gives you plenty of parking (for free during the regular season). The inside of this place is phenomenal. Nice seats, a lot in the shade, line the south side of the field. On the north and west sides there’s plenty of grass to sit on a blanket or for the little ones to run around during the game. The east side of the field is where I always sit on the bleachers– typically where the students and Louligans will be.
Concession prices are fair and there’s a beer stand over by the bleachers were all of the beers are just $ 2– some are 12oz and others 16oz. They also have a small setup where you can buy soccer shirts, sweatshirts, scarves, etc.
I love Lynn Stadium as much as any of the other athletic facilities in this city and it’s rare that I miss a home game. I highly suggest enjoying a game here when you get the chance!

I sound like a broken record, as every time I review a University of Louisville athletic facility, I give it five stars… but it is again well-​deserved! Lynn Stadium opened in 2014 as the new home for UofL men’s and women’s soccer… and what a home it is!
I can imagine the athletes and coaches appreciate these facilities, but as a fan, it definitely makes for a fun time! Tickets are fairly inexpensive (and free for UofL students with their Cardinal Cards), and there are oftentimes promos for food and/​or drinks. (Yes, they serve beer.) The concession stands are not serving filet mignon, but there is Centerplate fare. (The pretzels are my favorite.) There are chairback seats lining one sideline; a student section (the Boyle-​ing Point) with bleacher seating lines one end. The other two areas of the perimeter offer open seating (and/​or room for kids to run around) in a grassy area. There is a very large screen with a scoreboard and plenty of Louisville Cardinals signage and logos to go around.
Other universities and fans must be salivating to have a venue such as this as their home. Fortunately for us Cardinals, this IS our home. Go Cards!

Needless to say, a very amazing stadium. I’ve only missed about 1 or 2 home games this season. Love coming here and cheering on my cards! #L1C4

It’s the most premier soccer stadium of its kind.
As an alumna of the University of Louisville and a sports fan, I can’t speak highly enough of this facility. I am very glad to have been there for an opening-​night double header.
Basically, there is standard stadium seating around ½ of the field: one the length and one the width. The width side with seating is a student zone of sorts, right behind a goal, which is great, because students at the University of Louisville can go to soccer games for free with their student IDs. The other half of the perimeter is the berm. This is where I spent most of my time.
Concessions, in terms of the availability, are a bit limited. However, most games will not be as packed as opening night — that’s how opening nights go. The lines and time spent will surely improve as time goes on and routines are set. The main concessions are in the corner at the top of the stadium, but there is a separate place to purchase some food and (adult) beverages on the grassy area directly across the field from the other concessions.
It’s a beautiful complex with a great screen/​scoreboard. It’s easily accessible as parking is close at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium and other close-​by lots. It’s family-​friendly. This was my kind of place to watch a game.
If you’re into college athletics, check it out. You’ll be glad you did.
