Welcome Coach Pat Kelsey: Operation ReviVILLE

  • Frazier History Museum 829 West Main Street Louisville, KY, 40202 United States (map)

L’s up as we welcome Coach Pat Kelsey to the Frazier History Museum on Tuesday, September 17. Another Cardinals chapter begins as Coach Kelsey prepares for his debut this fall, declaring U of L basketball is back!

Coach Kelsey will join us for a discussion and questions. Some of those questions will come from iconic media names who know Cards basketball, including Van Vance, Paul Rogers, Russ Brown, and Bob Valvano. This as we also celebrate our new exhibition Flashback: Louisville Media Through the Years.

Moderators Andy Treinen and Rachel Platt will try to keep up with Coach Kelsey, and Andy has a secret to reveal about his connection to the coach!

Thanks to our sponsors, Larry Benz, the founder of ProRehab, and Bill Stone, a former U of L Trustee and the president of Louisville Plate Glass Company, a division of Aldora.

ADMISSION: $25 • $20 for Frazier Members
