The State Farm Battle in Seattle
The State Farm Battle in Seattle is the annual game that the Bulldogs play at KeyArena in Seattle, Washington. It is considered a neutral site game, considering that Seattle is about 300 miles (480 km) from Gonzaga's hometown of Spokane, but it is essentially a home game for Gonzaga due to a typically heavy fan turnout. The first State Farm Battle in Seattle was in 2003.
Gonzaga is 6–4 in State Farm Battle in Seattle games.

“It might be seen by what tenure men held the earth. The smallest stream is mediterranean sea, a smaller ocean creek within the land, where men may steer by their farm bounds and cottage lights. For my own part, but for the geographers, I should hardly have known how large a portion of our globe is water, my life has chiefly passed within so deep a cove. Yet I have sometimes ventured as far as to the mouth of my Snug Harbor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I know no East or West, North or South, when it comes to my class fighting the battle for justice. If it is my fortune to live to see the industrial chain broken from every workingman’s child in America, and if then there is one black child in Africa in bondage, there shall I go.”
—Mother Jones (1830–1930)
“If I’d written all the truth I knew for the past ten years, about 600 people—including me—would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism.”
—Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)
