Louisville Lightning News Release


Wayne Estopinal and Ted Nichols have been exploring the idea of bringing professional soccer to Louisville for the last several years. As a matter of fact, they've done more than explore. They have researched their options. They have investigated the landscape. They have invested their resources. They have considered all conceivable angles. They have discovered a possibility. They have created a strategy. And now they have executed the strategy.
