Any tailgating options for the traveling Husker fans before the Washington game?

…so they probably won’t be a large number of tailgates.

The official “Husker Huddle” will be held at “The Zone” on the East Practice Field of Husky Stadium

Open 9:30-11:30AM before the game, as well as at halftime for Husker Huddle pass holders

The Huddle will feature the Husker Sports Network pre-game broadcast, as well as special appearances by athletic department and university dignitaries, Tommie Frazier and other former players

So that’s out. If you didn’t have the kids with you, you could always check out the Sidetrack band…

Here’s what the Washington Huskers site has to offer..

I was up in Seattle a few years ago for Ohio St v Washington and I found Husky fans to be pretty great! I too am looking for some tailgating options. I am open to any options I am meeting up with a group of friends, there should be 7 or 8 of us total, all in our early 30s. I will be driving up from Portland Friday night with another friend, so if anyone wanted to set something up that would be awesome we are up for anything. Go Big Red!

Game Day Travel/Parking
Due to the Sound Transit construction project, football game day parking for the 2010 season has changed dramatically. All lots adjacent to Husky Stadium, including the large Montlake/E-1 lot, are only available for Tyee Club members with permits for parking on game day. Translation? Parking on campus anywhere near the stadium is going to be difficult, and expensive.

Parking

For a REALLY good overview on all of your parking options, please see http://www.gohuskies.com/transportation/ . This is a MUST READ for anyone that is driving to the game. Also, click here for a full parking lot map of the public parking on/around UW Campus.

Mass Transit

The best way to handle parking is to NOT need to park by leveraging some of the mass transit options in Seattle. These are also on the http://www.gohuskies.com/transportation site in detail. But, here’s the overview:

Bus

Use your game ticket to ride FREE to and from Husky football games on all regular Metro buses, special Husky football transit service (including service from Park Rides) and Sound Transit Route 554.

For all information on regular Metro bus routes and schedules, check Trip Planner.

Park & Ride Bus Service

Free Park & Ride service will begin two hours prior to the scheduled kickoff of every home football game, with buses departing each location every 20 minutes. The final in-bound buses will depart approximately 50 minutes prior to kickoff (Exception: the last buses from the South Renton and the Federal Way Park & Rides leave 60 minutes prior to kickoff). Following the game, buses will be lined up at designated locations near Husky Stadium. Each Park & Ride location is designated with a color-coded sign, which will be on the front and front-side windows of each bus. Buses will depart when they are completely full. Park and Ride locations can be found here.

Special Downtown/Ballard/Lake City Metro Husky Football Service

Special Metro Husky Football Service buses pick up passengers along routes from Downtown Seattle, Ballard, and Lake City/Sandpoint. Special service buses begin operating approximately one hour and 30 minutes before kickoff. The Downtown Bus Service below would be incredibly convenient for anyone staying in downtown hotels like the Sheraton, the Crowne Plaza, etc.
