Montlake Mailbag: Wondering about Husky Stadium attendance, running back numbers and defensive improvement

Plus, someone wants to know about my vision for this site. I wish I had one.

As I peer out my living-room window at a blue Tacoma sky, I feel compelled to grab the dog’s leash and head out for a walk before picking up my daughter from daycare.

The Montlake Mailbag comes rain or shine. Questions have been lightly edited for length and clarity. Friends of the Program receive priority, but there was room for a few other questions, too.

A sampling of topics this week:

• Whether Husky Stadium can return to its old attendance figures

• What does On Montlake look like three years from now?

• What happens if the defense isn’t better in 2023?

• Best home/away game in 2023?

• Position most likely to take a transfer post-spring?

• How does a reporter actually learn the game of football?
