"This year our world championship game will be held at the incredible Papa John's Cardinal Stadium at the University of Louisville. Most teams and leagues play at high school venues so this is going to be a huge step up for our players and league. We didn't think we could do much better than Vanderbilt University where we held the event last year. This Papa John's Cardinal stadium was built on a few years ago to the tune of 68 million dollars and it is a simply unbelievable venue for this game and a wonderful place to showcase women's football, " states league CEO, Catherine Masters. Tickets are on sale at ticketmaster.com or at the Papa John's Cardinal Stadium ticket office.
