ABOUT DEMPSEY INDOOR FACILITY
Shadowed by the steep stairwells of Husky Stadium, the Dempsey Indoor Facility sits humbly along the northwestern banks of Lake Washington. The serene lakefront setting juxtaposed with the towering structures of the mighty University of Washington athletic facilities has been dubbed as one of the greatest settings in all of college athletics. The Dempsey is home to the track & field team at the UW, whose team members use it as a training ground during the grueling winter months and as a home site for the program’s world-class indoor track & field competitions. Measuring an odd 307 meters around, the Dempsey track is oversized compared to the industry standard 200m circumference. It’s Mondo surface, long straightaways and sweeping turns combine to provide an ideal setting for distance running. A full-size turf football field sits inside the oval, providing soft and stable footing large enough for an effective warm up area. Spectators will be placed around the circumference of the turf between the edges of the track and the warm up area. Instead of watching from a distance from stands or bleachers on the outside like traditional stadium seating, the spectator experience in the Dempsey is flipped. The event circumnavigates the crowd, creating a more visceral experience for both participants and spectators alike. Imagine being face-to-face with some of the best milers in the world as they whip around you - it’s an incredible showcase of the speed, power and strength that the event demands.
