Husky Athletic Village
The development of the Husky Athletic Village begins with the construction of the new Husky Stadium. Husky Stadium serves as the first and primary income source of a completely remodeled athletic district which includes a new $15 million dollar Husky Ballpark, a new track and field stadium, renovated soccer stadium, $20–40 million basketball operations and practice facility and recently completed projects such as the Husky Legends Center, a state-of-the-art golf training facility, the Dempsey Indoor track and field facility, the Conibear Shellhouse as well as the Alaska Airlines Arena renovation. Along with new facilities, a master plan has been created outlining future and existing space for projects, open space, plantings, parking, as well as a general concept for street and walking grids. All existing and future projects will be set up in a "village" type atmosphere, where fans and athletes can walk along tree lined sidewalks from one facility to the next. This major remodel of the athletic village is coinciding with construction for an underground station for a northern extension of the Link Light Rail system, and a planned replacement of the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge.

Famous quotes containing the words husky, athletic and/or village:
“our nerve filaments twitch with its presence
day and night,
nothing we say has not the husky phlegm of it in the saying,
nothing we do has the quickness, the sureness,
the deep intelligence living at peace would have.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“He was the product of an English public school and university. He was, moreover, a modern product of those seats of athletic exercise. He had little education and highly developed muscles—that is to say, he was no scholar, but essentially a gentleman.”
—H. Seton Merriman (1862–1903)
“Tom was a glittering hero once more—the pet of the old, the envy of the young. His name even went into immortal print, for the village paper magnified him. There were some that believed he would be President, yet, if he escaped hanging.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
