Dear Faculty, Staff and Students,
The start of the academic year is just a few short weeks away — and Husky football is ramping up for an exciting season. During the first week of classes, the UW football team will be taking the field against Stanford at 6 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 30. This nationally-televised game will be a great opportunity to show the country what Husky pride is all about.
We invite you to attend the game, and cheer on the Huskies. Faculty and staff are eligible for special group-rate ticket pricing using promo code: UWFS. Students are eligible for special Dawg Pack ticket pricing as well.
Given limited weekday parking, we’re encouraging the campus community to consider green means of transportation to and from campus that day — options are outlined on the Transportation Services site. There is also the potential for alternative work schedules in order to reduce after-work congestion. Human Resources will be in contact with supervisors to provide further details.
We’ll also be encouraging fans to use transportation options such as shuttle buses, light rail, biking and walking, using resources found on GoHuskies.com to plan their trips to our beautiful campus.
One weekday home game every two to three seasons is one of the University’s Pac-12 membership requirements. In many previous seasons we met that requirement through the post-Thanksgiving Apple Cup, though this year that game is being held in Pullman, necessitating a weekday game here.
This is a wonderful opportunity to welcome our fellow Huskies to campus, and to highlight to a national audience the excellence of our University and the talent of our student-athletes. Thank you in advance for making any needed adjustments to your routines, and we hope to see you in Husky Stadium on Sept. 30.
For questions or concerns, email huskyad@uw.edu.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Cherry
Interim Vice President, Finance and Facilities
