Not many college stadiums in the country let you arrive by boat. Husky Stadium does and it’s what makes Seattle game days so unforgettable! Extend your boating season and join other fans in the tradition of boating to the game.
It’s not too late! The Huskies are 5-2 overall and 2-2 in Big Ten play, and the biggest games are still to come. Here’s what’s left after Illinois
That’s five games left, including three at Husky Stadium — and it all wraps up with Oregon to close out the season.
New to sailgating? Here’s an easy way to get to Husky Harbor in Union Bay from any of the Seattle Boat Marinas. Be sure to plan 30-60min to find your spot and get settled.
Some fans stay rafted up on their boats during kickoff, while others hop the shuttle to catch the game in person. If you plan to go inside, you’ll need a ticket — get tickets here. No ticket required if you are just sailgating from the water.
There is moorage at Husky Harbor, but there is a long waitlist to snag one of its 150 slips and is based on "priority points" with the university. There is a "complimentary" boat shuttle that will pick you up from your boat and shuttle you to the dock. Here's what you need to know:
The bay is shallow with poor holding, so use a heavy anchor and chain. North and west of the green buoy is off-limits. Please be aware of other boaters and watch your markers.
Fall boating means one thing: layers, and lots of them! Think sweatshirt, raincoat, warm socks, dry clothes — and don’t forget to pile on the Husky purple, whether it’s on you or hanging from your boat. Once you’re all set, snap a photo of your crew or your decked-out boat and send it to marketing@seattleboat.com. We’d love to feature you on our social channels and show off how you do game day on the water!
There’s no better way to stretch your Seattle boating season than sailgating with the Huskies. Whether you’re anchoring in Union Bay, catching the shuttle from your boat, or tying up with friends, sailgating is more than game day — it’s a Seattle tradition.
Game day is calling. Will you be on the water when the Dawgs take the field?
