Cats just completed a new 8 million dollar soccer stadium and Stone was built what about 15 years ago for 1 million?


Ehhh, probably 20 years ago or there abouts is when the Stone Family gave the one million for the upgrade. But the stadium itself was built when Mark Berson arrived, or shortly thereafter, I think around '77-'78 or so.

But no, the money Stone gave was for the seats to be updated if I remember correctly. I was out of the country at the time so I don't remember exactly how all of that went down.

I'm glad the Cats upgraded, women's soccer was probably the driving force, correct? Y'all have had a helluva women's program for some time now.

Nope, Mitch actually attends games and I think he has really wanted the Men to get better. With historic rivalry in Indiana and growing rivalry in Louisville just think he want's the men to make the jump to the next level. he has already fired previous coach for not getting it done.

UK has so many close D1 schools in close driving range.

Around 1 hour
Cincinnati
Louisville
Xavier
NKU

Around 2 - 3 hours
Indiana
Butler
Ohio State
Dayton
