Watching football at Husky Stadium is itself a special event. The stadium is annually voted the most scenic football structure in the nation. The 72,500 seat stadium is the nation's 15th largest on-campus facility. Because of its tight seating, it also can be one of the loudest in the country. Seahawks owner Paul Allen enhanced the stadium with a large television screen on a new scoreboard.
Some seats are under cover, but much of the stadium is exposed to the elements.
On board the ferry, Dan Boe of Shelton figured that the rain he was watching through the ferry window would be a home-field advantage in the game against the powerful Rams. The Rams are going to fumble so much in the rain, they won't be a problem. If there is a problem with playing in Husky Stadium, Tim Lider of Port Orchard may have identified it. Such was the case Sunday when the Hawks played the Rams down to the wire, losing the game 37-34 in the last minute. For all who shuttled to the game, the trip proved to be well worthwhile.
