  Husky Stadium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Husky Stadium is the University of Washington's football and track and field venue in Seattle, USA, located between Montlake Boulevard N.E. and Union Bay just north of the Montlake Cut.
Husky Stadium was originally built in 1920, with a seating capacity of 30,000, but has gone through four remodels (two major, two minor) to expand the seating capacity.
Because of its size and design and the vociferous nature of Huskies fans, the stadium is considered one of the loudest in North America, often making it difficult for opposing teams to hear their quarterback's signals.

Actually Husky Stadium is the one stadium that state money should be spent on, since it's owned and operated by the state.

Sports stadiums always have been magnets for my attention, especially those with the history and grandeur of the home of the Dawgs.
For this, as we all know, is a cathedral of football excellence, where the Huskies routinely run roughshod over their opponents (winning 61 of their past 70 games there and going 326-133-21 since play in Husky Stadium started in 1920 with a rare home loss to Dartmouth, of all teams).
