Husky Stadium's breathtaking setting on Lake Washington belies the furious intensity it generates for the "Apple Cup" against Washington State. The unique cantilevered roof and steep seating traps sound, making it one of the loudest venues in the nation despite its open nature. The "Sailgating" tradition culminates in a unified purple-and-gold roar that physically shakes the stands. This in-state rivalry is a passionate, no-holds-barred affair, where every snap is met with a deafening eruption of cheers or boos.
