I would think that would be about right. Maybe the next morning? I definitely would try to get them asap, though. With Nebraska in region, assuming they advance, and pent up demand here in Louisville, it wouldn't shock me to see the place sell out (about 22k). The highest attended NCAA Volleyball match of all time is 18,755: Wisconsin defeated Nebraska on Dec. 18, 2021 at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio in the NCAA final. Would be super cool if this somehow was broken in a Regional Final match! Although I'm not super sure that Louisville is considered "driveable" for Nebraska fans. Hope we get the chance to see! I would say 8-10 hours is considered drivable in midwest world. For a Husker volleyball game to get back to the final four (and football team missing a bowl game) anything under 12 is very doable haha. |

Searching StubHub, Louisville message boards, and neighbors mailboxes and I still can’t find a single ticket this weekend. Volleyball is kind of big in Louisville, we couldn’t have put this in YUM or Freedom?

Can any of the Cardinals faithful tell me which side of the YUM center will have the team benches?

Whoops..I'm at the Yum! for a WBB game tonight. 105 will be across from Baylor's starting bench. This is assuming that Louisville starts with the same bench that WBB uses for its home bench (which they did for the Notre Dame match and when matches used to be at Yum! - pre-DBK) |

I looked at parking, and it seems there’s a garage under the YUM Center. If my wife and I arrive about 10:00 am (an hour before the match) will we have any trouble getting in?
Sorry for duplicating my post in the match thread, hope that’s not too much of a bother.

Sorry for duplicating my post in the match thread, hope that’s not too much of a bother. I dont think you should have trouble since there probably won't be a ton of people at that match. regardless, there is a ton of parking in short walking distance from YUM. even for the basketball games drawing over 20,000 its usually not too difficult to find parking within a 5 min walk of the stadium. you'll probably have to pay a random man guarding the lot 10-20 bucks (id assume on the lower end since parking won't be in high demand at that time). im persoanlly not too familiar with underground parking of YUM, but my point is parking should not be a worry unless they have a bunch of stuff closed off. ive always found parking with relative ease down there for much bigger events |

The Yum! garage below the arena (it's really more below the plaza out front) has people from surrounding office buildings parking in it some, so I'm not sure how available it really will be. The earlier you get there the better chance there is to be able to get into it, of course. Other garage names in the immediate vicinity are the Witherspoon garage accessible from 2nd Street under the bridge as well as from Witherspoon st. The Galt House garage is accessible from 3rd St next to the arena, and there is a smaller garage, the LG&E garage across (and recessed from) Main st. It's accessible most easily from Market st. |

Congrats to the Cardinals for advancing!
Thanks to those who offered suggestions on tickets and parking. My wife and I had a smooth trip down, and were able to park underneath the arena. It was a really good experience, except tail end of the match. A good friend said it well: the Huskers just ran out of emotional gas. Still I'm proud of this fine group of young women. I do apologize for the poor turnout of Husker fans.
