Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

OLD HUSKY STADIUM
Best: Bought the basically "free" student tickets before I started at UW. I think they were like $10 a game. The old student section were the best seats in the house.
Worst: Then cause of being a row peter puffer I got the free seats in the student athlete section which was like Section 15 or 17 down by the end zone. Pretty shitty. Not @PurpleBaze give us your tired and pour immigrants @section8 shitty, but still pretty shitty. -
1989 - living out of the area and came back for Apple Cup. Bought 'view obstructed' tickets from scalpers.
Watching the game from literally Row 1 behind the Husky bench was special. Sort of could see the tops of players helmets on the crowned field. Kind of.
IF the ball got within the 20 yard line on either end, could see about half the play.

Best seats - Old HMB seats on the 50yd line
Worst seats - Old HMB Alumni seats on the track. -
I was at Band Day with the Olympia Bear Marching Band in 72 or so. We got folding chairs on the trackMelloDawg said:Best seats - Old HMB seats on the 50yd line

I was pretty much the only band guy that actually wanted to watch the game

Damn! I forgot about those days in the late 70s and 80s when there'd be hundreds of band members on folding chairs on the track and surrounding area. I think the Army game in '88 had an announced crowd of like 74,000 because of the band. BTW, we almost lost that game, but Chico Fraley had a pick 6 in the fourth quarter to give the Dawgs the lead.RaceBannon said:

Worst: East end zone for '86 BYU game - bad seats great beat down of BYU, 1990 season tickets in the horseshoe about half way up looking straight down the north sideline - couldn't tell what was going on past about the 30 yard line.
Best: 2006 Fresno game 50 yard line front row of north deck with great weather (got them on stub hub). Fresno missed an extra point in the 4th to lose the game. Also been in the Don James center with the boss's tickets a couple of times in 2016 and 17. Can't beat those seats but the games were so meh I don't remember which ones they were. -
I’m assuming the correct answer is any seat during the 2008 season?

Actually the announced crowd was over 76,000 for the '88 Army gameDerekJohnson said:

Sat all over, did not mind the weather except sitting north upper deck for the OSU game, must have been 36 degrees and rain/sleet blowing the entire game - left early.
North second to last row was awful for the opening game against the Tree. Seemed like it got to 110 under the cover. Hated that, turned to talk to a friend and the gal behind us had here feet on the bench back wearing a mini-skirt. I missed most of the game and the view backwards was better than the game. White panties.
Old stadium - sat about 15-20 rows up on south side 15 yard line not bad.
Upper Deck remodel. after the white panties game joined Tyee and got great seats at the 5 yard line. Had seats 3-6 and 5 rows from the front. USC guy (flew with rich parents up for game) sat next to me for the all I saw was purple game. He gasped every time we crunched Marinovich.
Newest remodel - aisle seats right in front of the beer deck. Easy to go pound one and sit down again. but used to get seats from a friend I worked with that had no life so he had front row upper deck 50 yd line seats. He also has prime bassetball seats.
Worst seat was in the end zone - the view was OK but this asshole in front of my wife was so fucking drunk he blew lunch for 30 minutes straight. I finally talked his friend to get him and his buckets of vomit out of there. So if any of you remember me getting at you - no hard feelings it was just a game.
Best end zone seat - I was the drunk SOB sitting in the wooden bleachers, me and me bud had each brought a half rack of Rainier to the game, dropped one and it fell under the seats. Usher let me under to get it and brought it back to our seats. Guy with his wife in front of us is joining in and having a few to his decked out wife with a bouffant hairdo (this is the 70's) as I pop one of the beers for the guy her bouffant became a sponge for the spray. Needless to say she was pissed, the three guys drinking said OOPS and continued. I bet he did not get laid. I know I did not. -
@Section14A would approve of this thread.
