You know, there's been so many moments.
High school football coming right in over here, through the door.
- I was trying to get the spot
that I was when I was a girl, and trying to get the right angle.
For me, it's very sentimental.
- Our high school in 1980, won the AA Metro championship.
So I'm here to take pictures of the stadium and everything.
- So I got to march on this field.
I was part of the drill team and my husband was in the marching band.
So we got to march all over the field and try to intimidate our opponents
and their fans.
- On a very hot summer day.
The New York Cosmos played here and, Pele was on the team.
It was just a buzz to see such a famous player like that on on this piece of turf.
- Lots of concerts here.
- And some of the greatest memories
I’ve seen Talking heads, Hootie and the Blowfish.
(♪♪)
This is the last marching band that will ever perform in this stadium.
- “Who are we? ”
“All City Band!”
(♪♪)
“All City Band!”
- It sorely needs updating, so I'm thrilled.
- There were times when I came in this stadium
and it was so cold and old, and I just.
I wonder if they will ever get a new stadium, Right?
- The locker rooms are pretty bad.
And of course, the other thing too is the steepness of the stadium.
- Took one for myself to take home.
- What's going to happen here is great and I just can't believe it.
That there's a new stadium coming here.
- And so we're just going to enjoy this last day of kind of specialness, of
just feeling like you're in your backyard, basically.
I am hoping that for the kids who are here tonight,
that it is, as special
to them, as it has been to me.
- You know, like I'm letting go and it's, you know,
like a real goodbye.
- So I hope that they stay rooted in Seattle history
and what kind of people and culture we are when they redo this place.
(door shuts)
Long live Seattle. (Laughs)
