Video: Washington's Husky Stadium Has Been Seriously Renovated, Permanent Endzones Added
Getting ready for football season.
It's no secret that Washington's Husky Stadium has been undergoing renovations since 2011 -- the Huskies actually played their games at CenturyLink Field last season, home of the Seattle Seahawks. The university is making a number of changes and additions to the venue, and lists some of them on its athletic site:
- Premium seating program with luxury suites, patio suites and Club Husky
- Track removed and the field lowered (4 feet) and shifted north (about 7 feet) to optimize seat values and sightlines
- Football operations support building housing locker rooms, weight rooms, team meeting rooms, recruiting lounges, player lounges and coaches offices integrated into the west end zone
- Complete demolition and reconstruction of the lower bowl and the south side stands
- Renovation of the Don James Center
- 200-stall parking garage constructed below the south bowl and stands
- Permanent east end zone seating
- Large landscaped plazas and grounds with no perimeter fencing
Today, Kiro 7 Seattle checked in on the renovations, and recorded a very cool video with aerial views of how everything is progressing:
Later on, the university athletics Twitter account tweeted a field-level picture of the newly-added permanent endzone:
