Farewell to old Husky Stadium
AARON JAFFE / THE SEATTLE TIMES
Husky Stadium was blazing with light as Washington hosted Oregon in the stadium's last game until 2013.
Old Husky Stadium has seen its final game before a $250 million renovation begins, ending a 91-year era that made the jewel on Lake Washington part of the fabric of Seattle and the Pacific Northwest.

Mark Emmert, UW president, 2004-2010; NCAA executive director, 2010-present
Husky Stadium in all its grandeur and glory is a sacred place where some of the best moments of my life took place, with friends, family and fellow rabid Husky fans.
