Only one city can host matches in two stadiums and besides the fact that the US has way too many cities for any city to host in two stadiums, if a city did then it definitely wouldn't be Seattle.

Unless you're Qatar, that is. Then you get to play by a different set of rules.

Think we can move this to 'under construction'

Husky Stadium located in Seattle Washington. Home to the Washington Huskies.

Facts:
-72,500 capacity > 70,500 after renovation

-Many claim that the first audience wave originated in Husky Stadium on Halloween 1981, at the prompting of Dave Hunter (Husky band trumpet player).

-Husky Stadium has the record for the loudest game in college football history. This is in part due to the stadium's design; almost 70 percent of the seats are located between the end zones, covered by cantilevered metal roofs.
During televised games, the cameras appear to be shaking due to fans stomping their feet in the bleachers. During the 1992 night game against the Nebraska Cornhuskers, ESPN measured the noise level at 135 decibels, well above the threshold of pain. This was the highest decibel level ever recorded for a college football stadium.

-One of two stadiums in college where fans can tailgate by boat. AKA Sailgating.

-Began a 250 million renovation on November 7th, 2011.

Cool, can double as a webcam for construction of the Husky Stadium light rail station as well

Jim856796 · November 23rd, 2011, 07:29 AM

How will the south top tier be torn down, by way of implosion or long-reach excavator?

jiggawhat? · December 11th, 2011, 01:29 AM

long reach excavator....lower bowl is all gone. they are starting foundation work.

jiggawhat? · December 30th, 2011, 04:55 PM

the whole south side iss being demolished now. its going fast and it seems like they are doing foundation work at the main entry area...

Marvo · December 30th, 2011, 06:05 PM

Can anybody explain what the 2 large 'swimming pools' are in the foreground of the webcam?

jiggawhat? · December 30th, 2011, 09:23 PM

I belive those are temporary storm water ponds. The field is going to be lowered by 4 feet so that may be the ultimate depth that they dig the field down to.
