LOUISVILLE, KY — The University of Louisville's Jim Patterson Stadium was deemed "safe and clear" by police after a bomb threat was called into the venue during a Cardinals baseball game Sunday afternoon, school officials said. The Louisville Metro Police Department's bomb squad searched the stadium before giving the all clear, according to the school.
