  • Louisville has hosted 4 NCAA Final Four Basketball Tournaments, 7 NCAA Elite Eight Tournaments, and college conference championship events, national and state high school tournaments and national amateur championship events too numerous to mention.

  • Louisville holds 4 of the top 7 attendance figures in Breeder's Cup history.
