Parking, Transportation, And Pregame Activities: Washington vs. Washington State
November 27, 2019 | Football
The Washington football team concludes its regular season this Friday, Nov. 29, as Washington State visits Husky Stadium for the 112th version of the Boeing Apple Cup with kickoff set for 1 p.m. Read up on how to travel to Husky Stadium, find parking, and get ready for the game:
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
Apple Cup bus transportation will be significantly different due to the game being on a weekday. The normal Park & Ride lots are closed, so alternative Park & Ride lots are available. Bus service is limited and a bus pass must be purchased in advance of the game here. Specific information about Apple Cup bus transportation can be found here.
For those with bus passes, make sure to print your bus pass that was emailed to you from the Husky Ticket Office then arrive to your shuttle location at least 15 minutes prior to your selected departure time. If you have purchased Apple Cup transit from the south, please note that the lot has now changed and Metro will be providing transportation from the normal Redondo Heights Park & Ride lot. You will no longer be required to use the pass at the pre-selected departure time. If you have not yet purchased Apple Cup Park & Ride from the south, you will still need to pre-purchase if using this option. For a list of frequently asked questions, click here.
SOUND TRANSIT LINK LIGHT RAIL
Fans can enjoy free gameday travel on Sound Transit Link Light Rail courtesy of BECU from 10 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 29, until 1 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 30. Game tickets, digital or physical, mobile or printed, will be valid to ride Link Light Rail. Ticket-holding fans need only show their Boeing Apple Cup ticket on board the train if asked by a fare officer to present their ORCA card or Link ticket. Fans must retain their ticket for the return trip, and there is no need to use an ORCA card.
Parking is free at the Angle Lake or Tukwila International Blvd. stations, or fans can board Link from one of the many stations along the route from SeaTac to the University of Washington. Paid parking may be available in close proximity to other light rail stations.
This special offer is not available on the Sounder, Metro, or Ferry. More information can be found here.
PARKING
Single-game public parking is available on a first-come, first-serve basis on gameday, while single-game ADA parking may be purchased in advance. There are also a limited number of general public RV permits available for purchase on gameday.

PREGAME ACTIVITIES
Gates are set to open 90 minutes before kickoff on Friday, and the first 9,000 fans inside Husky Stadium will receive free beanies courtesy of Boeing. There will be a pregame pep rally featuring the alumni band, Husky cheer, and Harry the Husky in the West Plaza outside of Husky Stadium at approximately 12:10 p.m.
Fans are encouraged to be in their seats early in time for the Husky band pregame show, starting at approximately 12:45 p.m. At the conclusion of the National Anthem, there will be a flyover with an EA-18G Growler from the VAQ-129 "Vikings" squadron at the Naval Air Station in Whidbey Island. Washington football's senior ceremony will follow as the Huskies recognize their 2019 senior class.
Fans are also invited to The Zone, a VIP area located on the east side of Husky Stadium. The Zone opens three hours before kickoff and is the home to many Husky gameday traditions, including the famous Dawg Walk. Food and beverage are available for purchase, and fans can enjoy music and a live pregame broadcast from the Huskies' flagship station, KOMO Newsradio 1000 AM/97.7 FM.
