CONNECTED TO THE HUSKY STADIUM
... for those inquiring location coordinates.
it's hard to find because it's connected to the UW Husky Stadium. Some of us Alumni got lost walking around in wet weather in expensive formal attire. I went to this University and knew this campus like the back of my hand but as an Alumni there's so many new development the campus has changed, just like the rest of Seattle, it's become unrecognizable - for the better!
EVENT. This place is an event space and the UW 100 Years Rising Up Gala was held here. Although this was a Gala, I referred to this event as the UW FASA Officers Alumni Reunion. Amazing to see friends I've stomped and organized events on campus with 15+ yrs ago hustling on budget.
SPACE. Nice view, spacious (enough), bar (wine and beer), kitchen access, and plenty of bathrooms. There were roughly 400+ attendees that this place capped. Take the elevator up to the forth floor, cross this little overpass, and into the center. One side overlooked the stadium field. There were plenty of TVs against the ceiling wall. The center area expands out to another layer on each side. Restrooms on each side. What I didn't like about the space was it's odd rectangle length. Maybe good for viewing whatever might be on the field but for event space held within, the outer tables for a view of nothing. Also, if UW is going to "rent" this space out for social UW events they should allow access to the many TVs. There were some video presentations shown at the Gala and external TVs were brought in which were hard for people to see because they weren't elevated. Trying to wrap up a Gala by 11pm was doable but we also felt a little rushed to take our social engagements elsewhere.
UW, thanks for opening this space up to those who pored thousands of dollars into the school at some point in their life ;) read more
