Description: FREEDOM HALLFreedom Hall, located at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Kentucky, is a versatile indoor arena with a rich history of hosting a variety of events, from sports to concerts to conventions. Opened in 1956, Freedom Hall has a distinctive design featuring a spacious floor plan and a capacity that has varied over time, generally accommodating around 19,000 spectators for basketball and slightly fewer for other events. For decades, Freedom Hall served as the home court for the University of Louisville's men's basketball team, the Louisville Cardinals. It was in this arena that the Cardinals built much of their basketball legacy, with a series of memorable games, tournaments, and NCAA appearances. Louisville's success on the court under iconic coaches like Denny Crum and Rick Pitino cemented Freedom Hall's place in college basketball history. The venue's vibrant atmosphere, with passionate Louisville fans, created an intense home-court advantage. Besides college basketball, Freedom Hall has also been home to other sports teams and events. It has hosted the Kentucky Colonels, a professional basketball team in the American Basketball Association (ABA), before the ABA-NBA merger. The arena has been a frequent site for high school basketball tournaments, rodeos, and professional wrestling events, illustrating its flexibility. In addition to sports, Freedom Hall has a storied history as a concert venue, attracting many high-profile artists and bands across different genres. Music legends like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and Jimi Hendrix have graced the stage at Freedom Hall, adding to its reputation as a premier entertainment destination in Louisville. While the University of Louisville's men's basketball team moved to the KFC Yum! Center in 2010, Freedom Hall remains an active venue for other events, including concerts, conventions, and sports competitions like the Kentucky State Fair and National Farm Machinery Show. Its ongoing versatility and deep-rooted history make it a cherished landmark in Louisville's cultural landscape. Unused 4" x 6" continental size chrome postcard.
