What we know about Autzen Stadium

Where visiting fans stay

From a specialist guide
  • Downtown Eugene. Drive, bus, or walk via campus and the Autzen Footbridge. Breweries, restaurants and the 5th Street Public Market, where the visitor center sits.
  • UO campus area. Walk over the Autzen Footbridge. The classic student route to the stadium, past Hayward Field.
  • Near Eugene Airport. Drive. Seven miles northwest of town, handy for early flights.

Around the stadium

From a specialist guide
There is no bar strip at the stadium. Fans walk from the UO campus over the Autzen Footbridge and through Alton Baker Park, so pregame happens on campus or downtown.

Getting in from the airport

From a specialist guide
EUG Eugene Airport (Mahlon Sweet Field), 7 miles northwest of Eugene, served by Alaska, Southwest, United, American, Delta and Allegiant.

Getting to the stadium

Checked at the source
Walk from campus. Over the Autzen Footbridge and through Alton Baker Park to the stadium. LTD bus. These routes run on game-day detours; check LTD service alerts before you go.

Tailgating

From a specialist guide
Many fans park or pregame near campus and walk to Autzen over the Willamette on the Autzen Footbridge and through Alton Baker Park. Eugene's Ale Trail includes Ninkasi, Oakshire, Hop Valley, Falling Sky and McMenamins High Street, good places to start the day before the walk to the stadium. Stay through the end of the third quarter, when the stadium plays Shout by the Isley Brothers, a nod to the Animal House scene filmed here.

After the final whistle

From a specialist guide
Walk back through Alton Baker Park and over the Autzen Footbridge to campus. LTD routes 12, 13, 66, 67, 91 and 96 run on detours during UO football games.

One thing to avoid

From a specialist guide
Don't skip the rain gear. The PA announcer says it never rains in Autzen Stadium, but the stadium is open to the sky.
