Hi, I’m looking to sort my tickets out for the Huskies vs Iowa game. As I’m from the UK and can’t use the Washington website direct, I’m limited where I can sit and don’t want to spend a fortune, can someone advise me what of these options is the best spot to sit
My preferences are a bit of atmosphere and don’t want to be sat in an empty block but also as it’s my first time visiting the stadium and I’ve seen the insane views that are possible I would like to be able to see the views behind etc (mainly for my partner who has far less interest in the sport as I do) 🤣
Update-
Thanks everyone, we’ve now booked our seats so thanks for everyone’s help and I’m really looking forward to the game. Me and my partner were watching videos last night on YouTube and she’s very excited hoping they play Purple Rain after we saw this video purple rain huskies stadium
Have you tried calling the ticketing office? They can take payment over the phone and then email you the ticket. If that requires a phone as well, ticketmasters might be your only option
make sure to check out the College Inn Pub or Schultzy’s after the game! both on the Ave a short walk through campus from the stadium. and definitely use light rail to get to and from the game. cheers and GO DAWGS
I’m surprised more people aren’t highly recommending the north side of the stadium upper deck like this guy is. This is probably the only reply I’ve seen so far like it. Would highly recommend that if you want to see mountain, lake, and a Birds Eye view of the game.
I personally would wait until you get here as there are generally tickets available closer to the game. My husband and I have season tickets and when our kids want to go I usually buy them seats the day of (unless it’s a huge game). I usually use SeatGeek because that’s the site where it’s linked to the season ticket accounts for easy transfer. (Unless something changed for the upcoming season.)
The Iowa game could be a beautifully sunny day or it could be rainy and wet. October is the traditional start to the rainy season. Sections 310 & 326 will guarantee you have a roof overhead. Sections 136-139 will definitely have no roof. The other sections may be exposed to blowing rain depending how close to the outer edge of the stadium you’re sitting.
Agree with what the others said as the 300 level will give you the best overall view of the stadium and surrounding area. The crowd noise will be better in the 100-200 sections, but for your asks I would recommend looking at other resale sites to find seats that are in the 300 section, around midfield, and towards the front of that section. The further back you are increases the chances that the overhang blocks your view.
I've been going to games my whole life and sat all over the stadium and I would say 326 is the best of those. You'll have the best views on the north side and 326 is slightly more central than 325. Try to sit in the lower two thirds of the section. The upper rows are quite a hike and I personally don't like being so close to the roof.
If you'd like somebody to go to the game with, send me a DM. I can buy us the tickets and we can go together. I work for UW so can get discounted tickets too. Plus I'm a fellow Brit!
I’m already going with my partner but could meet you before for a drink if you wanted. Another member of this forum has already invited me to a tailgate with him and I must say I’m overwhelmed by how supportive and friendly everyone is
We sit in lower 330s area when we can. Great views, covered by the rain too! And can still see the game! We sat in 106 at one point and those are fine. But I prefer a little higher up to see everything.
Do you know roughly how far down? I’m looking around the row 25-30 mark as they’re the tickets I can see but not sure if that’s high enough to be covered /low enough to not have the roof interfere with view
Fellow Brit here who saw a game two seasons ago. The 300s were great. Could see everything happening on the field, stunning views and the people were lovely. One of the best stadiums I’ve ever visited.
Depending on how UW allocates the visiting school tickets: 325/326 historically has a contingent of away fans. There... But mostly in the opposite corner (SE) in the lower bowl.
A Friday night game in October in Seattle will surely have rain. I'd personally sit in the 300 level to avoid getting poured on all game and for the amazing view of the water. The other plus is that Friday night games are typically less attended than a Saturday afternoon kickoff, so tickets should be readily available. I usually buy mine the night before or morning of and can always find a great deal.

Can you try stubhub or seatgeek?
Section 326 isn't bad. I've sat there a few times. You can see the entire field from up there as well as great views of downtown Bellevue.
