[QUOTE="altgeld88, post: 1942839, member: 2886"] Thank you. That's an awesome summary. Speaking of Husky Stadium, it's in one of the most beautiful settings in college football, down on the shore of Lake Washington. It was largely demolished and reconstructed ~ 10 years ago. The original south stands (built in 1950) and the lower bowl (1920) had suffered in decades of damp weather and had structural problems. They retained the north stands, built in 1987, and completely demolished and rebuilt the rest of the stadium, including removing the track and lowering the field. I've pasted in a very cool time-lapse video below of the construction, which took two years. Play it at 2x speed ;) [ATTACH type="full" width="342px" alt="1695141878762.png"]28136[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="341px" alt="1695141895892.png"]28137[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="340px" alt="1695141920274.png"]28138[/ATTACH] [MEDIA=youtube]-0cykrQ8I7A[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
