Louisville opens new arena with win

Louisville Cardinals
Surprisingly, it wasn't a sellout as the Louisville Cardinals opened KFC Yum! Center with a 83-66 win over Northern Kentucky University.

In a year full of new-arena openings, the new downtown Louisville facility should be a standout, and we're looking forward to a visit. Still, the first two games -- the women opened yesterday with an exhibition, but the attendance wasn't even reported in the box score -- didn't seem to generate a lot of enthusiasm among the Cardinals faithful; we expect more in coming weeks.
