“Washington’s Husky Stadium is located four miles from UW’s campus, but it’s also one of the best settings in college football.” This is not correct. Husky stadium is adjacent to the campus. The furthest any class room is to Husky stadium is .7 or .8 miles by foot, according to Google maps.

You are right. It's .4 miles.

I was very confused by this as well. I just went to the game last week and walked through campus to get to the stadium. Never did I think I left campus.

My bad, I didn't see your response before I posted mine. I can't believe I'm defending Husky Stadium as a Ducks fan. Is it bad that I hate them less after attending my first game there? Amazing experience.

It’s not bad Joshua. I think (hope!) UW and Ducks fan bases are learning more respect for each other, and it’s made possible by parity on the field. Husky Stadium does stand as the greatest setting in football, of course I’m totally biased. The only thing better is if the day was clear and you could also see Mt. Rainer. Is there another stadium that overlooks a volcano!?

I spent 41/2 years there and knew the campus had not moved. LOL There is not a campus on the West Coast that can showcase a setting like UW. As the Oregon fans can attest here that attended Saturday's game.

The campus DID move from downtown to its current location….. in 1895.
