Editorial Review for Husky Stadium – by Kirk Roberts
The Lowdown
All you need to know about Husky stadium is this: It's Keith Jackson's favorite place to watch a college football game. On game day, every visiting team has to take that long walk up the purple tunnel, with barking of angry grown men echoing in their ears. Well, it is college football.
The History
Dating back to the 1920's, this stadium has seen John Elway and Sonny Sixkiller and O.J. Simpson. In the '80s, it survived the collapse of an entire section (the present north upper deck), a rumble that sent university employees scurrying under their desks fearing an earthquake.
A New Look
Until this year, the Astroturf field was shaped like a dome to help drainage. But if you stood on one sideline, you could see someone on the other sideline only from the chest up. This year, a new turf has been installed. Look for fewer knee injuries and less tripping on the midfield hump.

Husky Stadium is one of the most majestic and imposing (for opposing teams at least) stadiums in the PAC-10. Gear up for a Husky game by taking mass transit and wearing enough clothing to endure the howling winds that flow from Lake Washington. Go Dawgs! No beer in the stadium though . . .
