America's 50 Most Legendary Stadiums In Every State

47. Washington – Husky Stadium (Capacity: 70,083)

Husky Stadium in Seattle pairs stunning waterside views with a capacity of around 70,083, giving the University of Washington a truly unique home-field advantage. Opened in 1920, the stadium rests along the shores of Lake Washington, inviting fans to arrive by boat—“sailgating” is a cherished tradition. The double-decked design, supplemented by distinctive cantilever roofs, traps noise effectively, creating a deafening roar that has been measured among the loudest in all of college football. Renovations brought sleek modern seating, a massive video board, and updated concessions featuring Northwest flavors like salmon and craft brews. The purple-and-gold faithful feed off the band’s stirring fight song, “Bow Down to Washington,” building an atmosphere that can intimidate even the toughest Pac-12 rivals. With snow-capped peaks occasionally visible on clear days, Husky Stadium offers an enviable mix of natural beauty, tradition, and big-time collegiate energy—an icon of the Pacific Northwest sporting scene.
