LOUISVILLE—KFC Yum! Center and Indoor Football League’s (IFL) Louisville Xtreme Football team today announced a three-year rental lease agreement between the team and the venue’s operator, ASM Global, includes eight home games at the KFC Yum! Center between April and August 2021.
“We are elated to be playing in the KFC Yum! Center,” Louisville Xtreme Football General Manager Victor Cole said. “The KFC Yum!

“We are so pleased that Louisville Xtreme Football team will call the KFC Yum! Center home,” ASM Global General Manager Eric Granger said. “ASM Global is committed to bringing new entertainment options for the Louisville region, and the Louisville Xtreme is dedicated to providing fun and engaging experiences for fans.
