Autzen Stadium
 Eugene, OR

After its latest expansion, Autzen Stadium now looks like a new and modern stadium. For almost a half a century from 1919 until 1967, the Oregon Ducks played at the 15,000 seat Hayward Field. By the 1960s as the football team became more successful, it was apparent that a new stadium needed to be built for the Ducks. Oregon athletic director, Leo Harris, along with Thomas J. Autzen, whom the stadium was named after, spearheaded the project by giving the school $250,000 for the new stadium project. By the 1967 season, the $2.5 million Autzen Stadium was complete and had a capacity of about 41,000.

Oregon Ducks Tickets

 
The Ducks played their first game at Autzen Stadium on September 23, 1967, a loss against Colorado. Although the stadium originally had a grass field, it was replaced with AstroTurf before the 1969 season. Until 2002, Autzen Stadium underwent very few renovations. In 1982, the Barkers Stadium Club was added at the east end zone of the stadium. A three story building on the north side of the stadium containing 381 club seats and 12 luxury seats was constructed in 1989. A new press box was also constructed prior to the 1989 season. The most recent addition came prior to the 2002 season, when 12,000 seats were added to the south rim of the stadium. Also included in this addition was the expansion of the press box that included 32 luxury suites. This addition provided a cantilevered roof to cover some fans from inclement weather. Today, the stadium has a capacity of 54,000 today. Throughout college football, Autzen Stadium has become known as one of the most intimidating college football stadiums with its high volume crowd noise.
