I was at the game this is what I saw.

What the fuck is an F51?

Sweatpants general doesn't know his WWII warbirds. P-51 Mustang ....

In formation with the P-51 were a pair of T-28 Trojans & a T-6 Texan.

The F-35s were supposedly from Hill AFB in Utah.

Although after WWII they were re-designated as F-51's...

No one calls them that though. Anyone who's into aviation and warbirds still refers to them as P-51s.

You probably like the Allison engine ones @PurpleBaze you bonio
 
All bullshit aside it was an awesome flyover x2. And I thought UW did an amazing job with honoring the vets. I’m not usually into that, but it was cool, and I never bought a drink that night (partly because my gal is rich). But the concessions are garbage.
 
UW pregame is unique in that you have a million Indian/Middle Eastern/Asian hole in the wall places you don't want to stop at because they don't serve beer, while the 3 traditional breweries have the owners standing outside with a clicker like they're a fucking school bus driver making sure they don't get evicted by the city due to overcapacity.

someone with more money than me needs to tear down some 2 story shithole on a decent sized lot in the U District and make an actually functional brewery with tons of tvs, and 2-3 floors of seating capacity.

I don't care how expensive and redundantly length the permitting process is in Seattle, that venue would make major $$$$$$. I wouldn't even care how expensive the beer is there. Waiting in line for one of 3 decent places outside the stadium is whack.

I went to the Zone for the first time in a decade or so before the game for a bit and it was honestly a better experience than sitting in some cramped 500 square foot dive in the U District.

I’m torn because I love quaint places like the College Inn, Big Time, and Earl’s but you’re not wrong. There’s unfortunately a lot of NIMBY groups working to “preserve” The Ave, but what are they fighting for anymore? Bubble tea and teriyaki joints?

Is there any hope in taking over the U Village area? Or making it more accessible to foot traffic from the stadium?

I'm old enough to remember when the U Village had plebeians and a bowling alley and not rich Laurelhurst Karens. My mom and uncle are old to remember when it was a giant dump. My uncle claims he used to shoot rats there as a youth.
