Seating & views
Autzen Stadium has 54,000 official seats, and standing room pushes crowds to about 60,000, with a record 60,129 against Ohio State in 2024. Built into a landfill bowl with a sunken field and a small footprint, it keeps fans close to the action and is famously loud; a 2007 crowd hit 127.2 decibels. The field runs east-west, skewed slightly so late-fall sun stays out of players' eyes. Luxury suites sit in the north side press box, a 2002 expansion added seating and boxes on the south sideline, and the Stadium Club sits on the east rim. A large east end video board went up in 2020.
Parking & tailgating
Autzen sits on the north bank of the Willamette River next to Alton Baker Park, just north of the University of Oregon campus. Many fans, students especially, walk to games from campus across the Autzen Footbridge and through the park. Food trucks have operated on the stadium's north side since 2014. Check GoDucks.com's Autzen gameday page for current parking, shuttle and tailgating details, since they change.
