We asked for readers' favorite football viewing venues. Among the responses:
Stadium Bowl, Tacoma |
"With the castle-like school towering above field and Commencement Bay below, it's a breathtaking sight."
-- Cory Kellogg, Seattle Times
Mount Si High School, Snoqualmie |
"It sits in a spectacular setting, with Mount Si framing one end zone. With no running track around the field, the seats are amazingly close to the action (particularly on the visitors' side). And technically, the facility is unique, being built on a huge platform to avoid local floods. Snoqualmie Valley residents have responded enthusiastically with full houses for every home football game since the stadium opened three years ago."
-- Tim Talevich, North Bend
King's High School, Shoreline |
"This is a gem in Seattle's backyard. George B. Woolsey Stadium used to be part of the grounds of the Firland Sanatorium (a tuberculosis hospital) that later became the campus of the Class 1A Christian school. Woolsey was the groundskeeper and required athletes decades ago to spend time removing rocks from the field. That work has paid off with a well-groomed field in a lovely setting."
-- Craig Smith, Seattle Times
Memorial Stadium, Seattle |
"Simply due to location and all the amenities nearby. You could make a day or an event out of a night football game."
-- Cory Kellogg, Seattle Times
Concrete High School |
"Visiting teams have to drive under part of the school to get to the field, which is surrounded by a living-picture postcard of the Cascade foothills. The rustic stands are painted purple and gold."
-- Craig Smith, Seattle Times
