Autzen Stadium

Fun place to watch a college football game. even when the Ducks cream your visiting team by 20 pts. Student section is huge and loud the whole game. Probably not a bad seat in the whole place. Visitors get the section under the big screen. It gets chilly after the sun goes down.
SO easy to park at one of their offsite lots (eg, South Eugene High) and shuttle in. Drops you off right in front before the game, and picks you up after just a short walk down the street.

As a duck, I love Autzen stadium. It’s got a great tailgate area that surrounds the whole stadium. The phrase «it never rains at Autzen stadium» is a joke because everyone has a poncho. Food is not that good here but sodas are really cheap. Last time I got deluxe nachos my cheese wasn’t even melted. For $ 11 it should probably be served decently.
Love Autzen. GO DUCKS!

Drove up for the Cal game and was entertained that Oregon got a warning for piping in music during a play. Silly ducks!
I bought a pepperoni pizza for $ 9 and it was decent, considering stadium pricing. The dough and crust was fluffy and the pepperoni was adequate. I also used the box to keep my legs warm, so that was a little bonus value.
Realistically, I should have just bought their little Baggie of nuts for $ 6 to get more bang for my buck.
I was amazed that they charged $ 4 for nachos with cheese and $ 7 for nachos with cheese, jalapeños, and salsa. Those must have been jalapeños from the presidential garden!
We took the 13 city bus to get to the stadium and purchased round trip tickets only to find that the busses don’t run after the game. After hearing about a mystical shuttle, we ended up just walking back. In the freedom cold rain. Boo.
They need to make transportation more easily accessible.

I’m a Bruin. UCLA blue and gold all the way. When my son chose Oregon for his undergraduate studies, though, I could not be prouder. When it comes to football, loyalties are challenged. After attending maybe 30 games at the Rose Bowl with me, he is no longer a Bruin fan. That little bastard has the audacity to jump ship and sleep with the enemy? OK, dad. Back off the legal weed pipe (hey, when in Eugene…)
Parents weekend is here and the remaining family flew to the Northwest to visit and take in a game, along with filling his belly with non-​cafeteria food and stocking his pantry with snacks from Safeway.
Autzen Stadium is beyond cool. It is big and grand, although it only seats 56,000. Coming from the Rose Bowl, where it seats 98,000 and seems strangely empty when we have «only» 56,000 fans show up. Good food selection, decent bathroom capacity, excellent video board, good sight lines, and next to campus (seems obvious but you may not be able to walk from Westwood to Pasadena). It’s kind of a hassle to walk from OU to the stadium, but I was doing this while drunk, in the rain and at night. Typically, it’s a gorgeous walk over the Willamette River on a gorgeous fall day.
I am really jealous of a place like like this. I am now a loyal Duck fan, except when playing my Bruins.

First, a little trivia: By the 1950’s — 1960’s, the Duck’s had grown too big for Hayward Field and required a stadium of their own. So Thomas J. Autzen, an OSU alumni, created the Autzen Foundation to raise money for a new stadium as his son was a student at UofO in the 1930’s and 1940’s. Thomas E. Autzen (the son) graduated from the UofO in 1943. Thomas E. also took over the running of the Autzen Foundation upon his father’s death in 1958. The stadium was completed in 1967. On the first game ever played at Autzen, the Ducks lost to Colorado.
Now, a disclaimer: I’ve never been to a Duck’s game! :) I’ve been to Autzen, just never for a game. (Not a football fan.) My house is a 2 mile walk to Autzen. Yes, people park on our street and walk to the game to avoid paying for parking. (We assume sometimes they drink too much or forget where they parked… because sometimes those cars sit for days. lol)
Having shared all that, I’ll keep the rest short: It’s a beautiful and very well thought out stadium. It’s also a very loud stadium. Even with our doors and windows closed in our home, 2 miles away, we can hear the roar. We can hear the bands playing, the drummers drumming, the horns, everything. I cannot imagine what the sound must be like as an attendee of the game. I would suggest bringing ear protection devices if you plan to attend one of the games.

Not a bad seat in the house, the vibe is amazing and the team is pretty awesome too! You can take sealed, non-​alcohol beverages in plastic containers, in the stadium. Also, snacks and food that is clearly identifiable. Go DUCKS!!!

Autzen Stadium is…
— Home to the Oregon Ducks
— Most recently the home of the 2014 Pac12 and 2015 Rose Bowl CHAMPIONS!
— One of the loudest stadiums in the country!
— Home to the best fan base in college football!
Your experience here at this stadium will be made into memories and even history! You never know what is going to happen when Oregon takes the field.
Remember… «It never rains in Autzen Stadium!»
Go DUCKS!

My daughter and her husband gave us tickets for the game. All my daughters went to U of O so we are a family of Duck fans.
One of the best tips is to take the LTD from a park and ride. You do not have to deal with traffic. Only $ 3.50 a person and that’s for a round trip!
Some parking spots around the venue start at $ 40 on up for parking! You still have a longer walk to the stadium then riding the LTD shuttle bus and will still have to deal with traffic after the game.
Beautiful venue and of course since it is Eugene, Oregon, the surrounding area is a beautiful park like setting.
We had a great time watching Marcus Mariota play probably his last home game before heading to the NFL.
Good food choices and thoughtful placement of amenities. For example restrooms outside every section on the main floor.
If you have a chance be sure to experience a football game here. The Ducks are a very exciting team to watch; fans are great and with all the money Phil Knight donates to the school the facility is top notch.
Go Ducks!

The home of the Oregon Ducks football team. It’s the place where great teams come to die. Sporting the best home record in college football over the last 5 years, this is a tough place for visitors, and it’s due to the greatness of Autzen. While holding only 55,000, the noise level is deafening due to the shape of the stadium, which holds in sound and echoes it off the field.
I love many of the traditions that have evolved here over the years, from The Duck riding out on a motorcycle with the team following behind, to the «Go» «Ducks» shouts back and forth across the stadium, to The Duck doing pushups for every point, and my favorite, the singing of Otis Day and The Knights «SHOUT» between the third and fourth quarters.
Not the best place for tailgating as the parking lot has given way to other sports facilities over the years, Autzen offers an alternative pre-​game experience, by turning the indoor practice facility, the Moshofsky Center, into a giant indoor party. An array of food is available, with live music, tv screens, seating for thousands, cheerleaders, and more.
Whether or not you’re a Duck fan, be sure to come enjoy a game here, and you won’t be disappointed.

Wow! This is a stadium! Loved every inch of this place from the tailgating across the street, and the stroll around the grounds. The place is loud! But in a great way. Tip: Go on the field after the game. It was one of my favorite experiences. There were tons of family’s, crazy cool picture options on the field, endzone, etc. The crowds love their team and that helps build the excitement in the stadium to an infectious level. Every space of the stadium and surrounding buildings offers great architecture, cool art, or landscaping. Vendors had good selection and keep your eyes open lots of celebrities or famous alums roaming around on game day. Top notch and a must visit for any college football fan. Ranked my #1 favorite stadium! Go Ducks!

My favorite place to watch my Ducks win. Serious good time, addictive atmosphere, and all around great time.

I have lot’s of fun when I go to the games here and hangout and watch the game and eat food. I love how they have dutch bros but they also have really good hot dogs. I went to the Civil War game and it was loud and crazy but so much fun. I can’t wait to go to another game.

Update: A few things have changed since I the last time I was there.
–Cell Phone Service is a lot better. You can get call in the stadium.
–More food options but they still don’t take cards.
–Still only four ATMS!!!

Been to a few games here. The crowds are fun and tailgating is fun. Cannot wait to come back again.

If you can put aside (or don’t have any) moral/​philosophical/​spiritual objections to corporate-​collegiate football, Autzen is a hell of a great place to watch a game.
Passionate fans, good sight lines, not so huge that you feel lost.
Because of Autzen’s shape/​size, you get a really great sense of your surroundings. You see the sky and the trees and feel like, «hey, Eugene Oregon may just be a paradise after all.»

really fans only 66 reviews!!!
best mascot in the country…
by far the best cheerleaders in the country!!!
we have to get these reviews up!!!

LTD does a great job getting you here! I never thought I would be riding the bus again, but it really is the best way to get there and there are several assembly areas in the area to catch the bus (Valley River Center, South Eugene High, Symantec etc). The facility at Autzen is nice and the last time I was here was in 2004 when the company I work for had a sky box (now those are really cool!). Seats were comfortable, fans loud (and a number drunk and in one case, vomiting). Other than that, a pretty cool feel to the place and most people around us brought the youngsters and that was neat to see. Concessions were a bit spendy but worth it as it gave me an excuse to dry off and stand in a covered area. On days like last Saturday’s Cal vs. Oregon game, it would be nice to have had a retractable roof as it was monsoon-​like. Tickets were spendy but, again, worth it.

Not a bad seat in «The House Of Noise,» the best tailgating the Pac-​12 has to offer and home to college football’s most electrifying offense.

Go Ducks… Win The Day!

I know I’m out of my element as a Longhorns fan, but my buddies and I take a trip every year to a game in a different conference. We visited Autzen Stadium last year when they stomped the bejeesus out of Washington, thanks in no small part I’m sure to the deafening support of the fans in the stadium. The year before we had gone to the Big House, in Ann Arbor, and in a stadium that holds over 100k, we thought for sure it would drown out other venues, even the Swamp down in Gainesville. But no, the Ducks in Eugene take the cake; the decibel level was truly impressive.
Impressive speed in snazzy uniforms (but please do something about that highlighter yellow) helmed by Chip Kelly made for a #3 season, and Oregon has launched 2013 at #2. I expect big things from them this year.

If there is one thing that football fans are notorious for, it’s having a lack of objectivity. Leave it to the Oregon Duck Fan to rate Autzen Stadium 5 stars over and over again. The Duck fan would claim that the Yankees would die to play here if they had the chance. I do think this is an amazing stadium, but not 5 star worthy. I think the 5 stars for this stadium has been given out secondary to the environmental circumstances of Eugene, OR. When Saturday night comes, do you know what there is to do? Go to an Oregon Ducks game. That’s it. You live, breathe, and if they could, eat Oregon Duck Football. So yeah, in comparison to what is in and around Eugene, I guess you could say this is a 5 star venue, but in comparison to the stadiums across America, 4 stars is more like it.
Here’s the irony, Mr. Autzen was a Beaver… he graduated from Oregon State University. Just wanted to let all you Duck fans know.
Here’s what I enjoyed about the stadium, it’s ALWAYS full. Coming from a pretty dismal football school (University of Arizona), it was refreshing to be part of a loud, proud, sell-​out crowd. I think the announcer said it was the 83^rd straight sellout. When the game is going, people are standing and cheering their team on. I have never been in a stadium so loud, collegiate or professional. Even if the game was against Arkansas State, these fans yell like it’s the Rose Bowl.
I also liked the fact that there is re-​entry into the stadium, which I have never experienced at any other stadium. It’s pretty awesome being able to leave the stadium, go across the street to my apartment, eat up and use the bathroom and then take the 5 minute trek to get back to the stadium. I LOVED IT!
Also, 5 minutes after the game ends, everyone is allowed on to the field. So, I got to take a picture of me TEBOWing on the big O. Pretty cool experience just to be down on the field. It’s neat seeing all the little kids re-​enact TD throws in the endzones… But you gotta be careful of the overly grown frat boys who take it too seriously and throw 30 yard passes with their shirts off and then run into you because the ball is inevitably overthrown. My only regret was not throwing my shoulder into him when he was running straight for me… silly me, I thought he would slow up instead of saying «WATCH OUT.»
Things I dislike:
For being sponsored by AT&T, it’s kind of ridiculous that there is no cell phone reception once you step in to the stadium… not sure what’s going on, but seriously it’s 2012.
If you’re sitting around sections 17 – 24, your face will be roasted by the sun. Bring sunglasses, otherwise you can’t see the action.
The seats with chairbacks seem to be sporadic, there would be 6 seats with chairbacks followed by 10 seats that were normal followed by 2 seats with chairbacks. Just seems like they should make the whole section with or without seatbacks. And beware, the seating is cramped. I’m 6 ft. 3 and my knees were jammed into the back of the girl in front of me who was getting sloppy.
It’s now illegal to smoke anywhere in or around the stadium… however, no one cares. There were still a good number of people smoking and when security approached them, they continued to smoke and question the fact there were no signs. Put up some signs Autzen Stadium, it’s pretty simple.
Is this stadium better than my school’s? Yes. Is it better than USC’s stadium? No. It’s a stunning stadium because of the fans, the environment and the product.
If you’re in Eugene, this is the sentiment:
Safeway employee: So, are you going to the game tonight?
Customer: No.
end of conversation.
