Cardinal fans poured into Papa Johns Cardinal stadium on this beautiful Saturday afternoon. But today it wasn’t to watch the Cardinals play football. Today Papa Johns stadium was transformed into a movie set to shoot a scene in the film about Patrick Henry Hughes titled “I Am Potential” and hundreds of Cardinal fans turned out to play extras in the movie. The scene that was recreated for the movie today was when Hughes and his father got to run onto the field for the first time with the UofL Marching Band. It was during a UofL vs UK game and there were a few Cats fans who showed up today to help make the shot authentic.

We are 50 days away from the start of another football season and you could tell by the conversation today that Cardinal fans are very excited and ready for it. Perhaps that’s why some showed up today and the Football field did look awesome. It was nice being back in the stadium on a Saturday afternoon, but it was also important for me to get a chance to play a small part in the making of this very inspirational story. Be sure to keep an eye out for the release of this film.
