25 Fields of Fire: College Stadiums Forged in the Heat of Rivalry

22. Kroger Field (Lexington, Kentucky): The Governor's Cup Gauntlet

Kroger Field truly comes alive when the Louisville Cardinals visit for the "Governor's Cup." The in-state rivalry injects an extra dose of intensity into the 61,000-seat stadium. The Blue and White faithful create a raucous atmosphere, eager to assert dominance over their cross-state foes. While perhaps not as historically storied as some SEC rivalries, the modern clash with Louisville is fiercely contested, turning Kroger Field into a loud, energetic crucible where state bragging rights are on the line.
