My anecdotal opinion would have been that the stadium was blocked.<br /><br />By the way, I don't want to rain on the U's parade, but regardless of the new stadium hype, from my perspective it's changed, and different, and new, but not better.<br /><br />The student section is blocked from participating in a leading way it formerly had and the band is harder to hear. The new stadium has a commercial, decidely not college feel to it.<br /><br />Ya, the world has changed, I get that. But change isn't always progress.<br /><br />Cliff, I understand we could be in for severe weather Thursday - Friday. <br /><br />What's your input?<br /><br />Thanks!<br />.John McBridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09503331313775640577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-50314445516160888432013-09-03T12:37:43.898-07:002013-09-03T12:37:43.898-07:00I enjoyed reading your report and analysis.

Until you have baked (or should I say broiled) in your seat on the lower north upper deck for 3 hours a game in September, you have not experienced the worst!can cover up against the rain and cold of later months but September was torture!

I can't speak too much about winds in the seating areas but as a member of the UW track team back in the 1960's I can say that it was not uncommon on Spring and Fall windy days for the geometry of the structure to produce a headwind for an entire circuit of the track; a real downer for a quarter mile sprinter!<br />Thanks, Michael BrandtAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06983593443822947531noreply@blogger.com
