LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Freedom Hall has seen a lot of history— Muhammad Ali's fights, presidential visits, and even Elvis Presley.
On Wednesday, it was home to another historic moment as Bellarmine University hosted their first Division 1 home game.
More than 800 fans were in the arena to watch as the Bellarmine Knights took on Chattanooga, who spoiled their home opener with a final score of 77-68.
After the game, Bellarmine Coach Scotty Davenport said,” Heck of a night. There's so many people to thank, so many people to be proud of. At the end of the night in competition, you compete to win. We just didn't adjust to it.”
