History

L&N Arena opened in 1991 as Cardinal Arena and was constructed as part of the larger Swain Student Activities Center building. It served as the main home of the Louisville women's volleyball team until 2011 when the team started playing in the KFC Yum Center part-time. The team moved there permanently in 2012. [1] [2] [3]

In the summer of 2017, Cardinal Arena received $600,000 in renovations. The Louisville volleyball team made the arena their home again starting that season. [4]

In April 2019, L&N Federal Credit Union gifted $2 million to rename the area to L&N Federal Credit Union Arena. [5]
