Wednesday night the Cardinal Caravan took over Lexington Kentucky, yes that is right I said Lexington. I never thought I would see the day when the Caravan would make the trip into the heart of wildcat country but tonight that happened. What really made this trip crazy is the fact that the Caravan was held in the back yard of Rupp Arena. It was a great site to see that old building standing in the background of the giant blow-up Cardinal Head.
It was a good turnout for the Lexington Caravan and there seems to be a few very passionate Louisville fans in the area. One person who stood out the most was Michael Coleman. Michael a Cardinal fan since 1975 says he has lived in Lexington all of his life and that he loves his Cardinals. Most fans claim to be die hard, but this guy has the car to back up his claims. Michael has his classic Lincoln adorned in Cardinal Red inside and out. He says that he does not have a favorite player and that he likes them all. I work in the Lexington area and have seen this car out in town but it was great to finally get to meet the owner. Michael says that he has never got the chance to attend a game in person but would like to some day. There were some of the UofL social media staff talking with him and I think they are going to make sure he gets that chance this season. It is awesome to see this type of dedication and passion from a fan and especially one in Lexington.
Below are some photos and video of the Cardinal Caravan tonight in Lexington. One of the videos features Michael Coleman the Lexington Super fan explaining the details of his car.
