To dome or not to dome: How Washington-Grizzly Stadium came to be 40 years ago

In April 1979, a proposal of a domed football stadium was released. In October 1980, a concept was drawn up showing a domed stadium on the site of the River Bowl practice fields, just slightly northwest of where Wa-Griz now sits. A dome — an inflatable one — does in fact sit there now in the form of the Grizzly Indoor Practice Facility, which opened in 2024.
