What’s now a parking lot outside of Slugger Field will become a year-round hub of energy, connection, and opportunity helping drive the vibrancy of downtown Louisville and creating new economic momentum for our community. Thank you to Diamond Baseball Holdings and Machete Group for their incredible investment in Louisville and belief in our city’s future.

Louisville legend Russ Smith is taking over The Ville. 🔴⚫️ The former Cardinal star has officially acquired the rights to Louisville’s TBT alumni team “The Ville” for the 2026 tournament and says the mission is clear: keep it 100% Louisville. 🏀 Russ will serve as General Manager AND suit up as a player, while continuing to build a roster filled with names Card Nation loves. 👀 “We have such a special relationship with our fans as former players at Louisville…” The Ville era under Russ Smith officially begins.

@smarkreilly Ya we need an actual 3yr, 5yr, 15 yr plan for the corridor

@Vandeevs It's mostly ignored and when it's not the city usually grants waivers for non-compliance. But here it is. Bardstown Road / Baxter Avenue Corridor Review Overlay District | LouisvilleKY.gov louisvilleky.gov/government/off…

We already have a frame work for a Master Plan, it's call the Bardstown Road Overlay. It's sad some were simping for the Mid-City Mall developer while ignoring the Bardstown Road Overlay.

@Leedrop62182 @TheRussdiculous If Big 3 will let him

@TheRussdiculous Can Jaylen Johnson get a shot?

We will do our best to provide “Louisville Alum” on the roster & make sure guys get their flowers. Mainly looking to add guys from the COVID era that never got a chance to play in front of our crowd. also - if you are a business in Louisville & have an idea or want to be apart of something fun, please reach out. Russ does not have a cell phone so instead email the @MrAndMrsBourbon page.

@Bucc704 @TheRussdiculous There very possibly could be another team put together, but this org is for Ville alum

@TheRussdiculous Can we focus on some kids who never got to lace it up for the cards but are from the area and played D1 elsewhere?

We are not going tolerate illegal establishments that harm our community. This successful operation is a direct result of our strengthened efforts to shut down fraudulent massage establishments that are often fronts for human trafficking operations, including the establishment of a new multi-agency task force and an ordinance that helps us distinguish legitimate businesses from fraudulent ones. I’m grateful for the hard work Director Silveria, his team, and the many other law enforcement partners who helped complete this operation and keep our community safe.
