Husky Stadium
Seattle, WA

Voted yearly as one of the most scenic stadiums in college football, Husky Stadium is primarily a college football stadium, but was the temporary home of the Seattle Seahawks during the 2000 and 2001 seasons. Husky Stadium was constructed in 1920 and opened on November 27, 1920 with a capacity of 30,000. Over the next eighty years, Husky Stadium has undergone many renovations and expansions. Between 1936 and 1950, 25,000 seats were added to Husky Stadium at a cost of over $1.7 million, along with a two story press box and a roof covering part of the stands. In 1968, an additional 3,000 seats were added. Also, the grass playing field was removed and replaced by Astroturf leading to the Huskies becoming the first collegiate team to ever have an Astroturf field.
 

In 1987 Husky Stadium took its present day look. Over $13 million in renovations including increasing the seating capacity to 72,500 were completed. In 1990, a new eight-lane synthetic surface track was installed. Prior to the start of the 2000 season, the Astroturf was replaced by FieldTurf. Today, Husky Stadium is one of the best collegiate stadiums in football. The lower seating bowl at Husky Stadium is shaped like a horseshoe. A covered upper deck is located on both sides of the stadium. Seventy percent of the seats are located between the end zones. Fans attending football games at Husky Stadium receive excellent views of downtown Seattle, Mt. Rainier, the Olympic Mountain Range and Union Bay at Lake Washington. In December 2006, the University of Washington unveiled plans that would include possibly expanding Husky Stadium. Under this plan, a new upper deck would be constructed on the west side that would include football offices. Permanent seats in the east endzone would be added, but not blocking the view of Lake Washington. In February 2008 the university announced that construction and renovations to Husky Stadium will begin in November 2008 and be complete by August 2010. This project will cost an estimated $300 million.
