Stadiums in Dallas, New England, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay already have such areas for their fans.

Thousands of students take their first step in getting familiar with the UW campus, and construction could be a burden.

The first summer SOAR session begins — Student Orientation, Advising and Registration. Basically, it’s the students’ introduction to their academic experience.

Wren Singer is director of the Center for the First-Year Experience, an arm of the Offices of the Dean of Students.
