On their own
It is absolutely disgusting that the University of Washington is lobbying for tax funds to pay for any part of a new Husky Stadium [“Huskies may use Qwest Field in 2010,” local news, Jan. 12].
As the Seahawks have already given permission to use Qwest Field in the future, there is no reason to rebuild an on-campus stadium until the UW can pay for it all by itself.
In these trying times, the majority of the population is struggling and won’t be getting a bail out. If UW educators are supposedly building the leaders of our future, they are setting a bad example by asking for and expecting a handout for this unnecessary stadium.
