-72,500 capacity
-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.
