Retake Montlake! Cheers are going up not only for the start of football season at the University of Washington, but also for the return to Husky Stadium in the Montlake neighborhood. Year-long renovations to the stadium are almost complete and the football season will open on Saturday, August 31 at 7 PM with a televised game. Whether you are going to the game or just planning to be out and about that day, be aware of traffic issues and rabid football fans on the loose.
