We went to a Washington Huskies football game on Saturday. It was exciting to go to the game. The Cascade Mountains and Olympic Mountains were both visible from the stadium, as was Mount Rainier and Lake Washington. We went to our seats in the end zone and could see a few boats parked in the water.
The Huskies were 0-3 entering the game against the Stanford Cardinal (singular) with the second worst defense in the league (the worst was my alma mater). Anyway, it was an exciting atmosphere with the fans in our section barking loudly before the game started. I'm just glad they didn't play "Who Let the Dogs Out." The opposite side of the stadium yelled "Go" and our side yelled "Huskies".
It was a high-scoring game and it was pretty close for a while. Unfortunately the Husky defense couldn't stop Stanford and Washington's quarterback broke his thumb. With a couple big plays in the second half, Stanford pulled away and won the game.
After the game, there were like 50 buses waiting outside the stadium. We found the one for downtown and it stopped right by our apartment. And it was free. Our bus ride to the stadium was free, too, with our tickets. I've never been to a sporting event where transportation was free.
Anyway, we had fun going to the game, even though the Huskies lost. Maybe someday we'll see the home team win one of these sporting events that we go to.
We moved to Seattle in February 2008 and shared blog posts and photos during our first few years in Seattle.
