Roll Call for Washington Game

[SalUteopia]

Who else is attending the Sat game? There will be 8 of us in Section 332. Hoping to see a sea of red!
Also, any suggestions for parking? Or is public transport / Uber the better option (from Issaquah)?

Go Utes!!!

[Kellso]

There is a train to the stadium from downtown. Check it out. It was perfect for us.

[Whitty]

Section 330 🖐️ planning to do public transportation, but have yet to figure out details

[Ghost of the HEB]

Will be four of us in 331. I’m looking forward to the in-stadium Beer Garden almost as much as the game. It looks elite.

[Hahnenwk]

The light rail is great if it goes where you need it to. But after the game dozens of buses are lined up outside ready to take people away. OneBusAway is the app that lets you plan your trip.

We do have a thing for beer here in Seattle.

[Utehomer42]

Me and my dad will be in section 332. We’re taking public transportation to the game and for the entire trip. Thankfully Husky stadium, SeaTac, and Lumen field all run on the same line. I think they’re also bringing the band but they’ll be in section 101 complete opposite to where most of us will be sitting.

Are you going to the Seahawks game tomorrow? Good Hockey game at Climate Pledge tonight too.

[OldAsDirtUte]

There is NO parking near the stadium.
Use public transportation. They run many shuttle buses to/from the Park & Ride lots.

I went to a game maybe 25 years ago, and they had many buses serving just the one Park & Ride lot.
They even had a mop-up van sent around to pick up stragglers after the game for those who dawdled too much leaving the stadium. (Take a hint, UTA).

Go Utes!

Despite what OldAsDirt’s post, there is a ton of parking at the stadium, but I’d avoid it like the plague. The Montlake Bridge / 520 interchange is under construction and that combined with U-Village and UW Hospital traffic make for a major mess.

Husky Stadium Parking

Link Light rail (subway) has a stop in the plaza in front of the stadium. If you drive in, park either at Northgate, or in Sodo as you’ll likely be coming on I-90 from Issaquah and Sodo is an easy connection to Link. Make sure to buy tickets before you hit the platform.

Public Transit to Husky Games

King County Metro

Keep in mind Husky Stadium holds more than 70K and will likley be a sellout.

Good luck

[SalUteopia]

Excellent info, ryynoo! The linked resources are much appreciated. I will DM you with some specific questions if that’s okay.

[2008 National Champ]

Ryynoo’s probably the best resource. But I did want to add that about 10-15 years ago, people I knew who lived along the 405 would either drive to Northgate or Southcenter and take public trans the rest of the way instead of dealing with the bridges.

I don’t know if that is still a viable option but anything you can do to avoid the I-5 will make your trip much more pleasant. Especially between Northgate and Southcenter with the U district down to the old Paine Field being the worst.

[Anonymous]

Northgate is the best bet. Lots of free parking, relatively easy to get to and Link goes directly to the stadium from there.

Nortgate to Husky Stadium

[Anonymous]

I should mention it runs roughly every 8 mins and takes 8 mins station to station.

[2008 National Champ]

That would be my preference since anything from Southcenter still has to navigate northbound traffic. In my youth, we would periodically do a half day in Bellevue and then go north on the 405 past Redmond and catch one of those state roads/mini-freeways that took you right to Northgate. I don’t remember the road number though.

[OldAsDirtUte]

Sorry I attended a long time ago. Traffic was a big mess. I was told to not even consider driving anywhere near the place. And, it was a sellout.
Also, that was long before the lightrail came about.
Maybe it’s gotten better.

[Uteusmc]

Coming up from the MT. Lived in Redmond for 20 years so meeting up with some friends and taking the shuttle from the kirkland park and ride

[UteBrook]

Sec 331 with my cousin who happens to be a Dawg fan. Going Sailgating with the Chinook. Go Utes!

[Phatmanandy]

I’ll be there with my Wife and Sister-in-law. section 332, row one. Come say hi! We went in 2019(?) and it was a blast!
The link light rail is super easy to use and is only $3 each way. The station is right there at the stadium and they have a ton of stops throughout downtown.

Also on twitter there is a Ute Tailgate being hosted by @PNWUTE
Looks like 9am to the East of the stadium in the far end of the parking lot. We plan to go to that, seems like it’ll be a good time.

Hit me up on twitter if you want to meet up. @phatmanandy

[SalUteopia]

Good to know about the tailgate. Will check if others in our group are interested.
Will come say hi at the game!

[snorkerelli]

Section 104, row 8. I’ve attended two Ute games in Seattle, and we won each. Looking for a third. Go Utes!!

[PNW Ute]

I’ll be there. I live in SW Washington, going to drive up to SeaTac and take light rail the rest of the way.
I second what others said, take public transportation. The light rail lets off right at the stadium. The shuttle busses that go there from park and ride stations are great too. But, the last time I did one of those it took over an hour to go the last 10 miles due to heavy game day traffic. So give yourself lots of time.
Enjoy the stadium. If it’s not too clouded over (yeah right) the views from the upper decks are amazing.

If we are lucky the Mountain will be out:

[Anonymous]

DM me if anyone is looking to get rid of 2 tix. Thanks!

[Anonymous]

OK, my wife and I are going. I’ll be in Ute Gear and she’ll be in UW gear. I’m in Section 331, row 3 Seats 5 & 6. Please come say hello!

[Anonymous]

We’ve swapped our tix to section 331 row 61 seats 12&13 to get out of the rain.

[SalUteopia]

On the 1045 PM flight to Seattle from SLC, and it’s pretty full with Utah fans!

[concerned]

We are at Glo’s, heading over after breakfast

[BleedsRedUte]

My son, who lives in Seattle, is a Utah alum and supporter. He just texted me he is leaving his West Seattle condo for the game. Should be a lot of Seattle Ute alums. Hope they are all at the game giving the Utes loud support. Go Utes!!
