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

Visit for the season opener

My wife and I (both Penn State grads) have always heard great things about Washington football games and are really excited to make our first trip to the Pacific NW this September. I was wondering where the best place to get tickets would be (we're open to sitting anywhere ... no particular section in mind) and some things that we should hit up on campus/the surrounding area. We're really excited for the game, as Rutgers is terrible and the Huskies are looking to be pretty good this season. Any and all suggestions would be welcomed!

    Are you looking to sit anywhere in particular? What section do you want to be in?

    Don't forget to visit The Zone! That Crazy Larry is a real character!

    Meat me at the 7-11 on Aurora before the game and I'll get you squared away.

    Just walk up to the stadium and buy tickets before kickoff. You shouldn't have any trouble getting good seats

    Good to know. We were worried with the higher expectations for the season and it being the home opener that it would be harder to get tickets.

    Not really. We're just looking to enjoy the stadium and the atmosphere. I've been to Beaver Stadium quite a bit, Michigan Stadium, Spartan Stadium, Ryan Field, and the Orange Bowl, so it will be great to see a stadium with such an incredible view.

    Great local place for breakfast....Shari's Pie House. Everything made from scratch. There are a few of them around Seattle but it is definitely not a chain by any means.

    Those were probably lies. We've sucked every year since 1991.

    Make sure to act like a flamboyantly gay socialist hipster. It will help you fit in with the locals. Wear a wool scarf with your team's logo. Perfect for a crisp summer day.

    I think you hurt @PostGameOrangeSlices by calling him out like that.

    Rutgers is terrible ?
    That's rich coming from a Penn State fan whose Program has had the most heinous crimes committed against children covered up their head coach Joe Pa that spanned 3 decades, And now new revelations out of Happy Valley that women athletes were forced to play despite being injured and against doctors advice.
    I look forward to my trip to Seattle for the opening game at Husky Stadium. I think Rutgers won't be terrible and will give the Huskies a game .

    I'm hearing Happy Valley has a beautiful golf course.

    Ticket tip: wait.

    'sold out' at UW isn't what you think it means.
    Our new non-athletic, athletic director got promoted in part by giving away unsold tickets that never get used and reporting "sellouts" as "all tickets have been distributed" ... and the local media never asks when that same AD reports another budget deficit.

    drives game day prices thru the floor.

    I can hook you up, but first I need a deposit wired to my venmo.
