    Sporting events should consist of hot dogs, those shitty nachos with the cheese sauce, and maybe some pizza by the slice. Literally just duplicate the Costco food court and you're golden.

    Why do you hate soft pretzels?
    Knew I forgot something. Those with the cheese sauce are also fantastic.
    You’re speaking my language! One of my weaknesses is Auntie Anne pretzels with the dipping sauce. 🥨🥰

    I can't stomach that cheese sauce, don't like pretzels, and don't care for bad hot dogs or wonder bread buns. Can there at least be upgraded sausage dogs on stadium rolls?

    UW pregame is unique in that you have a million Indian/Middle Eastern/Asian hole in the wall places you don't want to stop at because they don't serve beer, while the 3 traditional breweries have the owners standing outside with a clicker like they're a fucking school bus driver making sure they don't get evicted by the city due to overcapacity.

    someone with more money than me needs to tear down some 2 story shithole on a decent sized lot in the U District and make an actually functional brewery with tons of tvs, and 2-3 floors of seating capacity.

    I don't care how expensive and redundantly length the permitting process is in Seattle, that venue would make major $$$$$$. I wouldn't even care how expensive the beer is there. Waiting in line for one of 3 decent places outside the stadium is whack.

    I went to the Zone for the first time in a decade or so before the game for a bit and it was honestly a better experience than sitting in some cramped 500 square foot dive in the U District.
    I’m torn because I love quaint places like the College Inn, Big Time, and Earl’s but you’re not wrong. There’s unfortunately a lot of NIMBY groups working to “preserve” The Ave, but what are they fighting for anymore? Bubble tea and teriyaki joints?

    Is there any hope in taking over the U Village area? Or making it more accessible to foot traffic from the stadium?
    I'm old enough to remember when the U Village had plebeians and a bowling alley and not rich Laurelhurst Karens. My mom and uncle are old to remember when it was a giant dump. My uncle claims he used to shoot rats there as a youth.
    Did we nerd out together at Don's Hobbies back in the day?

    Naw, don't remember that place

    My mom took me to that Burgermaster as kind of a reward for dragging me to my grandma's rental property she managed around those parts though.

    They flew some slick af jets over Autzen last year. This year we get WWII planes and then some slick looking modern jets.

    Plus great weather. Great way to send Ute off to the Mountain 12.

    I thought Utah was going to the Sun Belt
