Scouting Report

Under head coach Chris Peterson, the Washington Huskies have returned to relevancy in the college football world. That makes it even better to “sailgate” in Seattle before each game at the 70,000 seat Husky Stadium.

The sailgating scene at Washington is done in what’s known as Husky Harbor at Lake Washington. As long as you can stay out of the rain in Seattle, tailgating there will be a great time and is one of the best pregame setups of any team in the PAC-12.

Considering Washington is not as big of a college football program as many of the other schools on this list, it’s impressive how special of a tailgating scene they have put together. Yet, if quarterback Jake Browning can lead the Huskies to another Playoff appearance in 2017, then they might be ranked among the elite tailgating teams before too long.
