The Kentucky Wildcats travel to Nashville to play the Vanderbilt Commodores on September 23. The Big Blue Nation usually takes over Vanderbilt’s stadium — and probably will again this year — but if you’re looking to cheer the Cats on in person, you might want to go ahead and get your ticket.
Capacity at FirstBank Stadium will be reduced from 39,790 to 28,500 this season amid construction. The south and north end zones are completely gone to make way for a new basketball practice facility, student-athlete dining hall, and stadium premium seating options. The upgrades are part of a $300 million investment and are expected to be completed in 2024.
