A young Alexis was there, section 19. Weller started it by trying to get the students going from the front row up to the back. It was a massive fail. Then he tried the wave starting from the open end, north side through the student section. Only took a few minutes to actually get it going. Young Alexis thought it looked really cool. After about 5 minutes Young Alexis thought it was kind of annoying.

I doubt the veracity of that last comment. Sarcasm, perhaps. I don't remember anybody getting tired of The Wave until about year 3 or 4. Husky Stadium would get 3 or 4 waves going simultaneously, the place would be rocking

They were doing the wave when I went to games back in the late 90s and early 2000s.

Best waves I ever saw were at Seahawks games in the Kingdome.

They were kinda cool for about 10 minutes.
