Alumni Weekend starts with a great night of rugby, and the Husky Rugby community is invited to help kick things off in a big way. On Friday, April 24, join fellow alumni, families, supporters, and fans at Starfire Sports in Tukwila for a special Curtain Raiser Doubleheader featuring both the Huskies and the Seattle Seawolves.
The evening begins at 4:00 PM with UW vs. CWU, giving the Husky Rugby community a chance to come together and cheer on the Dawgs as Alumni Weekend officially gets underway. Then stick around for the main event at 7:00 PM as the Seattle Seawolves take on the Chicago Hounds in what promises to be an exciting night of high-level rugby.
This doubleheader is a fun and easy way to start the weekend, support UW Rugby, and spend time with fellow members of the Husky Rugby community before the Purple & Gold Fundraiser Dinner on Saturday. Whether you're coming to support the Huskies, the Seawolves, or both, the energy at Starfire should make for a great kickoff to one of the biggest weekends of the year.
Ticket Options Available
There are both seated and standing ticket options available, so supporters can choose the experience that works best for them.
