Husky Stadium at University of Washington

For the uninitiated, Seattle is a daunting and curious town. With roots dating back to the American Frontier, the city has grown substantially since the mid-nineteenth century.

The city possesses a certain “density by necessity,” being surrounded by either mountains or large bodies of water on all sides, making it both a vital and prominent Western port, as well as an overland challenge for those approaching from the North and East.

Both the Cascade, Coastal and Olympic mountain ranges rise abruptly from sea level, so when the clouds part and rains abate, 360 degrees of dazzling, emerald scenery emerge to greet the eyes.

Such is the setting for Husky Stadium, where the University of Washington plays its home games to raucous crowds come football season.

With a total capacity of 72,500, it is the largest stadium in the Pacific Northwest, with gorgeous views of Lake Washington and the Cascades beyond. The stadium is also widely regarded as the loudest in college football, with the noise level regularly shaking cameras during televised games.
