Husky Stadium

Unfortunately we were not able to see a game here, but what an impressive, state of the art facility (for the price tag it should be).
The stadium definitely leaves an impression whether you are a sports enthusiast or not.

Went to a football game here last month. Wow what an improvement from the old stadium. Great job on the update. There is not a bad seat in the house.

New side is nice and so is the club section. Not as nice as seahawks club but also not near as crowded and drunks around, which is very nice. Not an alum but it was a fun time and a great place to watch some college football.

Did a private tour of the stadium, where the boys worked out the locker room coaches offices. It was so top of the line you could definitely see where they spent $ 275 million dollars. From the boys private smoothie bars the trainers the equipment to the pools it was truly state of the art.

Pretty sweet stadium. I like the renovations that had been done to it. the view of the puget sound is what puts this stadium over some of the rest of other universities

Hush Key Stadium was built because if you’re coming in late at night and you don’t want your parents/​significant other/​landlord/​dog to hear you, you should use a Hush Key.
First-​Hand Experience: Info on my personal visit to this stadium — This is not the best stadium I’ve been to in Seattle but it’s still fantastic. I prefer Seahawks Stadium (Sounders Stadium really), but this one is brand new, stunning, unusual and unique. The crowd is very loud, as most crowds in the north west are. I always swing by this stadium when in Seattle. I’ve probably been here 7 or 8 times and will be visiting again next time I’m up here. Oh and the TV is absolutely enormous.
I’ve been to every cool stadium in the UK & North America, due to my obsession with travel & sport. I’ve toured America as a musician for 7 or 8 years. In that time, I’ve seen sports games at, or visited when empty (and usually both), at almost every major stadium in US and Canada. I have pictures of most which I will upload at some point. Also, on future travels, I plan to take new pix, and add more stadia! Watch this space!
***back to regular review***
It looks like a spaceship. Everything about it is amazing and fantastic except for the fact that one end has no people there, it’s completely open which really destroys a lot of the atmosphere. It’s still an amazing stadium though but has nothing on the Sounders/​Seahawks home.
It can hold 70k people and the roof is really cool. The fans could be just a little bit louder but that’s okay.
Looking forward to seeing another game here someday, especially since the new renovations which look stunning.
And when in Seattle, try a sandwich at Paseo.

Since the 1920’s, Husky Stadium has been one of the most scenic sports venues in the world. Sailgating on Lake Washington, views of the Cascades and Mt. Rainer and the stunning architecture of the school itself. If you visit Seattle, find a way to see the stadium.

Nice college atmosphere, experience priceless but really the nose bleed were nose bleed bank in the daya
I think that the stadium was fine but there wasn’t any rain. We loved the weather while we were here. We had sun to enjoy the days.
The campus was beautiful! The first snack place I went to did not have pretzels. I had to go to three of them to find one. The nachos didn’t have hot cheeZe I think the bag was just placed and they didn’t give me as much. The clam chowder soup was okay not the best. The worst was the seats for out of towners like us. It was nose belled and scary. The hand rails didn’t make me feel any more secure going up or just sitting there. It felt better when I had people around me. When we first go there it was empty all around me.

Great stadium, great food, great team!
It’s worth the drive (from the Portland area) to watch a game in comfort. The atmosphere is great the students are enthusiastic without being obnoxious.
This is my second time here and I’m already looking forward to next time!
If you can, look into watching from a suite. Comfort+catering is the way to watch a game!

GO HUSKIES!!! Sadly we lost that day — miserably. It was so bad!
The day was ¹⁰⁄₂₅ Saturday late game cold/​rainy/​windy in Seattle. Thought bad day for a football but home game, got tickets from my friends (THANKS Shinee and Una) after all this is Arizona State Sun Devils we will defined prevail but we LOST 10 — 24.
First time at the remodeled/​reconstructed Husky Stadium, not overly impressed but for college team stadium it is good, clean. Seats were not bad at all.
Would prefer better food choices that is unique to Husky nation not just a Trophy cupcake special named same tasting cupcake, not foot long hotdog! Hot chocolate on rainy/​stormy day was good :)
Marching band was OK on the field and again with all the wind and rain it may not do justice to give them just OK cause heard them close to the stands after half time while picking up some cupcakes and they sounded awesome.
GO HUSKIES!!!

a beautiful stadium. too bad the Huskies lost today against Stanford.
it would be great if we could bring beers into the stands.
in school we used to just sneak in airplane bottles.
the beer garden area has pretty close to a full bar… college football stadiums have come a long way.

This is the best setting in college football. Period. Undeniable and timeless history and tradition aside, it provides the definitive NCAA Football Game Day experience. GO HUSKIES!!!

The stadium is spectacular, however, the «volunteers”/people that work there are rude and harassing.
Specifically, at saturday’s game against Eastern Washington in the Club Husky section at the concession across from section 203, I (37 year old female) purchased a beer with a valid Washington State License. When the cashier returned the license to me, the woman pouring the beer said I need to see your license. Therefore, I called her out on the «new rule» of both the cashier and the pourer having to see the license. She gave me a long winded answer about training classes and how the cashier can not pour (which was not my question!). When I watched this women whom was pouring at different times throughout the game, she did not ask other customers for their id’s. Therefore, I felt harassed and discriminated based on looks. All customers need to treated the same.
She represented Woodway school (s), therefore, at all future games please do not support this concession. Purchase at the other concession (on the west side of Club Husky) or the bar area (very east end) As Tyee and Club Husky members, we do not pay thousands of dollars per ticket and donations to be harassed by concession workers at each game.

My first major sporting ever was at Husky Stadium so I hold it close to my heart. The view is great but, it can get really cold when it is windy. I am very happy with the new renovations with the stadium. The concourses are great and the section entries are really cool. No more trough to pee in the bathrooms are big and have plenty of stalls. The video board is a major improvement but the new sightlines are the big story. No more track and a better close feel to the game. My only complaint is all the bench seating and so little actual seats. It really sucks when someones knees you in the back or spills drink or food on you. (even though you should be standing)

The new stadium is so awesome!
Pros:
Concessions!!!
Much warmer
Huge TV
Great vibe
So fun
Being an alumni always keeps me coming back for more football. Love UW!

Pretty nice place! Definitely a major upgrade. I used to volunteer for concessions so seeing the new stands makes me want to volunteer again. I came during the ridiculous storm, however, so I’m sure my review could earn an extra star the next time I attend.
The floors are extremely slippery when wet. I was wearing rainboots and definitely had to catch myself a few times. Workers were feebly trying to sweep the excess water into the drains as it wasn’t draining fast enough and people were sloshing through.
Something I found funny was the student only concession stand. They kept yelling out to all the passersby to come buy from them but, hello, we can’t since we’re not students… Maybe they should aim their calls to only young ones passing by… :P
I would like to see how this stadium is during a nice, sunny, crisp Autumn day!

After $ 280M (privately funded) and 18 months, Husky Stadium opened the season in spectacular style last Saturday and ushering in a new era in Husky Football!
I can’t help but be thoroughly impressed with the new digs. It certainly feels like home in the sense that it is basically the same configuration as the original stadium. The major differences would be the absence of the track and moat (they lowered the field four feet and moved it seven feet to the north), student section is now in the west end zone, Football Operations Building that occupies the west end of the stadium, new HuskyTron (it is said that you can play X-​Box on it from the FOB) and the permanent seats at the east end of the stadium. A few other observations — the Ring of Honor on the west side of the stadium, wider concourses, more restrooms and more concessions! They definitely have a lot of local places represented like Beecher’s, Ivar’s, Kidd Valley and Trophy Cupcakes!
If you get a chance to go to a game, go early to walk around and explore the stadium. They open the gates two hours prior to kickoff, so you will have plenty of time to walk around and soak it in! Afterwards, head over to The Zone (east practice field) to have some drinks (I’m sure you will probably have had a few prior at tailgate) and watch the team do the Dawg Walk to the stadium before the game!
Outside of that, everything in my first review still stands!
GO DAWGS!
Remember my review of Husky Central? That ASCII graphic is definitely appropriate in this case:

UPDATE: 09÷09÷13
The following passage from the UW’s AD letter to season ticket holders is a very apt quote to use. It could have been used as my review, but that would have been plagiarizing. Oh, since I am using quotes and citing it, it is okay!
«Every citizen of Washington should be proud to know that the greatest stadium in the world will be built on the campus of our own state university.
Generations of Washingtonians will visit it at its beautiful and permanent home on the shores of Lake Washington.
They will see it for what it is — an imperishable monument to the friendship and generous support which the people of this commonwealth always accorded their university.»
–Associated Students of the University of Washington, 1920

Husky Football is back, and it’s back home!
Watching UW playing football at Centurylink last year was great and all, but it never felt like home. With the season opener this past weekend, you could sense the shift in the atmosphere and the crowd, and everyone was just pumped to be back in Montlake.
They’ve remodeled the stadium — the track has been taken out, seats have been moved in and now provide more leg room (not that I need it), they’ve replaced the score board and the big screen, built ramps for easier entering and exiting, and made other adjustments here and there. I’ve heard rumors that the majority of the renovations have been within the building (which the public is unable to see) but that suits me just fine.
When the crowd is present to support the Dawgs, like they were last weekend, it’s an unbelievable environment.
Go Dawgs!

It felt good to be back at the new Husky Stadium with all the other Dawg fans! I didn’t get to try and see everything, but due in time. The seats are now with more leg room which is nice for taller people. The views are still one of the best in the country, with the water and mountains around us. I got into the stadium without a problem and also got out without a problem. Which I might add getting back on the freeway from there normally takes awhile. We got lucky and headed north for a bit where less traffic is to cut over to 99.
I will try the food next game I’m there and report back.

Good sitelines from the upper deck + loud, vocal fans = Good times.
I’ve been to several Pac-​10 and NFL stadiums and Husky Stadium is the loudest I’ve been to. So loud that OSU had to stop and call time out several times to get their play calling in order. To me, that’s one of the marks of a good stadium experience. To top it off, UW won in double overtime.
Touchdowns:
— Good, smart fan base creates a lot of noise.
— Good view even from high up in the upper deck (North stand, Row AA).
— Great location next to campus (contrast with the Rose Bowl, which is 25 miles from campus, or USC which is next to campus but in the ghetto).
— Easy (and free) access to/​from downtown Seattle via bus.
Penalties:
— Difficult, if not impossible, to hear the UW band from the upper deck of the North stand since they are right beneath you.
— The upper deck is so high that it takes forever to exit.
— The concession fare in the North stand was pretty weak. Make sure you eat beforehand or go to The Zone if you want decent food.
— The condiments were abysmal. A giant jar of ketchup with a tiny plastic spoon?
