And newlyweds weren’t the only ones who found a home directly north of Husky Stadium. In University of Washington Magazine, Jon Marmor wrote in 1996 that “the dump was also appreciated, to some degree, by the UW rowers who used to live right next door at the old Conibear Shellhouse. In between classes and rowing practice, they would kill time by shooting at rats living in the landfill.”
The late Herb Mead told me that in the early-to-mid 1940s, he and his friends would sneak into Husky Stadium through a hole in the fence. Security guards would chase them, while the game was going on.
