'''Autzen Stadium''' is an outdoor [[American football|football]] stadium in [[Eugene, Oregon]], United States. Located north of the [[University of Oregon]] campus, it is the home field of the [[Oregon Ducks football|Oregon Ducks]] of the [[Big Ten Conference]]. Opened in 1967, the stadium has undergone several expansions. The official [[seating capacity]] is presently 54,000 to 60,000 (with [[Standing-room only|SRO]]); however, the actual attendance regularly exceeds that figure.<ref name=goducks>{{cite web|url=http://www.goducks.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=500&ATCLID=22175 |title=Autzen Stadium |publisher=GoDucks.com |access-date=October 29, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150915045417/http://www.goducks.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=500&ATCLID=22175 |archive-date=September 15, 2015 }}</ref>

==History==
Prior to 1967, the Ducks' on-campus stadium was [[Hayward Field]], which they shared with the track and field team. However, by the late 1950s, it had become apparent that Hayward Field was no longer suitable for the football team. It seated only 22,500 people, making it one of the smallest in the University Division (now [[NCAA Division I|Division I]]), and only 9,000 seats were available to the general public. While nearly every seat was protected from the elements, it had little else going for it. The stadium was in such poor condition that coaches deliberately kept prospective recruits from seeing it. As a result, the Ducks only played three home games per year on campus in most years; with the exception of the [[Oregon–Oregon State football rivalry|annual rivalry game]] with [[Oregon State Beavers football|Oregon State]], games that were likely to draw big crowds (against schools like [[Washington Huskies football|Washington]] and [[USC Trojans football|USC]]) were played {{convert|110|mi}} north in [[Portland, Oregon|Portland]] at the larger [[Providence Park|Multnomah Stadium]]. With the recognition that the football team had outgrown the campus facility and with popular support to play the entire home schedule in Eugene for the first time in school history, Oregon athletic director [[Leo Harris]] led a campaign to build a new stadium on {{convert|90|acre|km2}} on the north bank of the [[Williamette River]] that the school had acquired for the purpose in the 1950s on his recommendation.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sportshistory.uoregon.edu/details/show/33 |title=Autzen Stadium: Milestone of Momentum |publisher=University of Oregon |access-date=October 30, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080821124433/http://sportshistory.uoregon.edu/details/show/33 |archive-date=August 21, 2008  }}</ref><ref name=oregobit>{{cite news|title=Harris, former UO athletic director, dies|date=April 26, 1990|work=The Oregonian}}</ref><ref name=DuckDowns>{{cite web|title=Leo Harris and his monument to tenacity, Autzen Stadium |url=http://www.benzduck.com/journal/2011/6/11/leo-harris-and-his-monument-to-tenacity-autzen-stadium.html |access-date=June 11, 2011}}</ref><ref name=prka3yr>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=bRdWAAAAIBAJ&pg=6125%2C4955705 |work=Eugene Register-Guard |location=Oregon |title=UO hopes to build new stadium in park area within 3 years |date=November 30, 1960 |page=1B}}</ref>

School president [[Arthur Flemming]] was initially skeptical of the project, and asked [[Skidmore, Owings & Merrill]] to evaluate whether it was feasible to build a stadium on the north bank site, renovate Hayward Field, or build a new stadium on the Hayward footprint. The need for a new or expanded stadium had become acute with the implosion of the [[Pacific Coast Conference]] in 1959. Oregon had been left out of its successor, the Athletic Association of Western Universities (direct ancestor of the [[Pacific-12 Conference]]), and there was almost no chance of getting an invitation as long as the Ducks still played at Hayward Field. SOM concluded that the north bank site was the only feasible place to build a 40,000-seat stadium—thought to be the bare minimum to justify moving the entire home state to Eugene. Hayward Field had not been built to code, which would have ruled out any possible expansion. Its footprint was too small for a new stadium, and in any case the surrounding streets could not handle larger crowds.<ref name=DuckDowns/>

Designed by SOM,<ref name=refropnr/> the stadium was built within an artificial landfill (over the refuse) to eliminate the need for multilevel ramps. As a result, construction took just nine months and cost approximately [[United States dollar|$]]2.3&nbsp;million.<ref name=refropnr/> $250,000 was contributed by the Autzen Foundation, headed by [[Thomas E. Autzen]] (class of 1943), son of [[Portland, Oregon|Portland]] lumberman and philanthropist [[Thomas J. Autzen]] (1888–1958), for whom the stadium was named.<ref name=refropnr/><ref name=uostnmddn>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=kqxVAAAAIBAJ&pg=5080%2C3121425 |newspaper=Eugene Register-Guard |location=Oregon |last=Wyant |first=Dan |title=UO stadium named for $250,000 donor |date=June 15, 1965 |page=1A }}</ref><ref name=archit>{{cite web |url=http://libweb.uoregon.edu/guides/architecture/oregon/autzen.html |title=Autzen Stadium: Architecture of the University of Oregon |access-date=October 30, 2007 |publisher=University of Oregon| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071116052121/http://libweb.uoregon.edu/guides/architecture/oregon/autzen.html| archive-date= November 16, 2007 | url-status= live}}</ref> The elder Autzen was ironically an alumnus of Oregon archrival [[Oregon State University]].

The stadium alternates with Oregon State's [[Reser Stadium]] as host of the [[Oregon–Oregon State football rivalry|annual rivalry game]] with the Beavers.

Autzen hosted the [[2011 Pac-12 Football Championship Game|inaugural]] [[Pacific-12 Football Championship Game|Pac-12 Conference Championship game]] on December 2, 2011, as the Pac-12 North champion Ducks defeated the Pac-12 South champion [[2011 UCLA Bruins football team|UCLA Bruins]].

==Renovations==
In 1982, a $650,000 meeting room complex, the Donald Barker Stadium Club, was opened on the east rim above the end zone. It gave the stadium its first meeting facilities,<ref name=goducks/> and was dedicated at the home opener in September.<ref name=sclbded>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=rEkVAAAAIBAJ&pg=4938%2C743333 |newspaper=Eugene Register-Guard  |title=Stadium club dedicated today |date=September 4, 1982 |page=2B}}</ref>

A proposal to enclose the stadium within a dome was given serious consideration in 1985.<ref name=wicvmopr>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=KPFVAAAAIBAJ&pg=4612%2C1609249 |newspaper=Eugene Register-Guard |last=Conrad |first=John |title=Will it cover most of the problems? |date=May 6, 1985 |page=1B }}</ref><ref name=adgstbck>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=xeZVAAAAIBAJ&pg=6240%2C5554799 |newspaper=Eugene Register-Guard |last=Conrad |first=John |title=Autzen dome gains state backing |date=October 23, 1985 |page=1A }}</ref><ref name=hwabdomed>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=_NtVAAAAIBAJ&pg=6056%2C5269475 |newspaper=Eugene Register-Guard |last=Conrad |first=John |title=How will Autzen be domed? |date=December 20, 1985 |page=1D }}</ref> New tax laws on contributions altered the feasibility, and the overall project was scaled back.<ref name=dbfqpr>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=33kzAAAAIBAJ&pg=5104%2C3848354 |newspaper=Eugene Register-Guard |last=Conrad |first=John |title=Dome bill for Autzen proposed |date=February 17, 1989 |page=1B }}</ref> In 1988, a $2.3&nbsp;million renovation built a new press box on the south side of the stadium and converted the original north side press box to [[Luxury box|luxury suites]].<ref name=dbfqpr/> The renovation was designed by architecture firm [[Ellerbe Becket]].<ref name=goducks/>

In 1995, the field was named [[Rich Brooks]] Field, after the Ducks' coach from 1977 to 1994. Brooks led Oregon to its first outright [[Pac-12 Conference|Pac-10]] championship, and its first Rose Bowl appearance in 37 years, in his last season. Brooks left Oregon after the 1994 season to become head coach of the [[St. Louis Rams]] of the [[National Football League]].

In 2002, a $90&nbsp;million facelift and expansion added seating and luxury boxes to the south sideline, bringing the stadium seating capacity up to its current level.<ref name=goducks/>

[[File:102707-Oregon-AutzenStadium-ext.jpg|thumb|left|Exterior of the stadium in October 2007 displaying the large yellow "O"]]
In 2007, the large yellow "O" was added onto the south end of the stadium exterior when [[ESPN]]'s ''[[College GameDay (football)|College GameDay]]'' was on location. That season, "Gameday" originated two of its Saturday shows from Eugene.

[[File:New Video Board at Autzen Stadium.jpg|180px|thumb|The digital scoreboard in the east end-zone in 2014]]
In 2008, a new, {{convert|33|by|85|ft|adj=on}} high-definition LED scoreboard and replay screen—known as ''DuckVision'' or "Duckvision 2.0"—was installed; it replaced the original video screen installed prior to the 1998–1999 football season. It is the 39th largest video screen in the NCAA.

In 2010, the field was replaced with new [[FieldTurf]] that featured the new Pac-12 logo (even before the logo was officially revealed to the public). During the process, the crown was removed to make the field flat.<ref name=trfcrwn/> In addition, new paneling was added to the walls surrounding the field.{{citation needed|date=August 2010}}

In 2014, the east end-zone scoreboard was updated to include a digital screen, the addition of 150 flat screen monitors throughout the concessions areas, additional culinary options in the form of food trucks on the north side of the stadium, increased cell phone repeaters and an upgrade to the sound system. Additionally, the sideline wall graphics were updated from the new panels installed in the 2010 season.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.goducks.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID%3D500%26ATCLID%3D209619367 |title=Fans?

In 2020 the east end-zone scoreboard was replaced with a new 186’ x 66’ video screen on the east end of the stadium, making it the largest video board in college football. The video board will also house a smaller outward-facing 47’ x 26’ video board visible to fans arriving to the stadium.<ref>{{cite web|author=Keith Farner |url=https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/sports/oregon-debuts-biggest-video-board-in-college-football/ |title=Oregon debuts biggest video board in college football |publisher=Saturdaydownsouth.com |date= November 3, 2020|accessdate=2022-12-26}}</ref>

==Location and configuration==
[[File:Autzen Stadium from Spencer   Butte.jpg|thumb|Autzen Stadium as seen from the summit of [[Spencer Butte]]]]
The stadium is located just north of the [[Willamette River]], next to [[Alton Baker Park]]. Students typically walk to the stadium from the University of Oregon campus over the [[Autzen Footbridge]], which passes over the Willamette, then through Alton Baker Park. The [[FieldTurf]] playing field is at an elevation of {{convert|420|ft|m}} [[AMSL|above sea level]] and is laid out in a non-traditional east-west orientation, slightly skewed so that players will not have the sun shining in their eyes in late fall.

==Crowd noise==
Autzen is known for its crowd noise. Due to the stadium's relatively small footprint, the fans are very close to the action, and the field is sunken. These factors contribute to the loudness of the stadium even though it is smaller than other 'noise comparable' stadiums.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/college-football/columns/story?columnist=maisel_ivan&page=iZone091028 |title=Ducks bring the noise at Autzen Stadium|date=October 28, 2009|last=Maisel|first=Ivan|publisher=ESPN }}</ref> According to many in the Pac-12, from Oregon's resurgence in the mid-1990s until the most recent expansion in 2002, Autzen was even louder because the noise reverberated all the way up the stadium and bounced back down to the field—the so-called "Autzen bounce." Oregon officials say that any future expansions will trap more noise.<ref name="For USC, Autzen is a nightmare">Reid, Scott M. [https://archive.today/20120707015012/http://articles.ocregister.com/2009-10-28/sports/24656819_1_oregon-fan-kenny-wheaton-mike-bellotti For USC, Autzen is a nightmare]. [[Orange County Register]], October 28, 2009.</ref>

On October 27, 2007, during a 24–17 victory against the [[USC Trojans]], a then-record crowd of 59,277 fans was recorded at 127.2 [[decibel]]s. A similarly loud 31–27 upset of third-ranked [[Michigan Wolverines|Michigan]] in 2003 prompted ''[[Michigan Daily]]'' columnist J. Brady McCollough to write<ref name=michdaily>{{cite web|url=http://www.michigandaily.com/content/j-brady-mccollough-duck-duck-lose |title=Duck, duck, lose|date=September 22, 2003|access-date=October 29, 2007|last=McCollough|first=J. Brady|work=[[Michigan Daily]]}}</ref>

{{blockquote|Autzen's 59,000 strong make the [[Michigan Stadium|Big House]] collectively sound like a pathetic whimper. It's louder than any place I've ever been, and that includes [[Ben Hill Griffin Stadium|The Swamp]] at Florida, [[Ohio Stadium|The Shoe]] in Columbus, and [[Tiger Stadium (LSU)|Death Valley]] at Louisiana State. Autzen Stadium is where great teams go to die.}}

Michigan coach [[Lloyd Carr]] later said that Autzen Stadium was the loudest stadium he'd ever been in.<ref name=jeffsmith>{{cite news|last=Smith|first=Jeff|title=Ducks savor '03: a Michigan loss|date=September 8, 2007|work=[[The Oregonian]]}}</ref>

In 2006, a ''[[The Sporting News|Sporting News]]'' columnist named Autzen the most intimidating college football stadium in the nation.<ref name=tsn>{{cite web|url=http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=115554|title=No venue more intimidating than Autzen Stadium|date=August 7, 2006|last=Hayes|first=Matt|work=[[The Sporting News]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060818213829/http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=115554|archive-date=August 18, 2006}}</ref>

[[Lee Corso]] of [[College GameDay (football)|ESPN College Gameday]] frequently says, "Per person Autzen Stadium is the loudest stadium that I have ever been in my entire life!"<ref>{{cite web|url=https://oneclicksportsblog.wordpress.com/2007/09/28/ducks-have-you-read-these/|title=Ducks, You Need To Read These|date=September 28, 2007}}</ref>

Longtime [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] sportscaster [[Keith Jackson]] called Autzen "Per square yard, the loudest stadium in the history of the planet."<ref name="For USC, Autzen is a nightmare"/>

[[Jahvid Best]], a former starting running back for the [[Detroit Lions]], visited Autzen while playing for the [[California Golden Bears]] in 2007. He later said, "The biggest thing I remember about that game is the crowd. The crowd noise is crazy up there. Honestly, any other away game I don't really even hear the crowd. Oregon was the only place where it really got on my nerves."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/09/24/SPAH19RLA7.DTL |title=Best ready to make own noise at Autzen |date=September 24, 2009|last=Kroichick |first=Ron |access-date=September 24, 2009|work=San Francisco Chronicle}}</ref>

Following the September 6, 2014 game against the Michigan State Spartans, Michigan sports reporter Mike Griffin of MLive.com accused Oregon of piping in artificial noise that contributed to the Ducks' victory over the Spartans.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/2014/09/oregon_denies_accusation_of_pi.html|title=Oregon denies accusation of piping in sound at Autzen Stadium|first=Tyson|last=Alger|date=September 7, 2014|website=oregonlive}}</ref>

Since 1990, Don Essig, the stadium's PA announcer since 1968, has declared that "It never rains in Autzen Stadium" before each home game as the crowd chants along in unison.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-10-14 |title=Rain or shine, nothing stops the Ducks at Autzen Stadium |url=https://www.sbnation.com/ad/20913970/oregon-football-autzen-stadium-rain-umbrella |access-date=2024-08-01 |website=SBNation.com |language=en}}</ref> He often prefaces it with the local weather forecast, which quite often includes some chance of showers, but reminds fans that "we know the ''real'' forecast..." or "let's tell our friends from (visiting team name) the ''real'' forecast..." If rain is actually falling before the game, Essig will often dismiss it as "a light drizzle", or "liquid sunshine" but not ''actual'' rain by Oregon standards.<ref name=krasnowski>{{cite news|url=https://dailyemerald.com/47246/sports/gameday-traditions-of-oregon-football/|title= Gameday traditions of Oregon football|last=Krasnowski|first=Joe|work=[[The Daily Emerald]]|date=November 2, 2023|access-date=April 29, 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://special.registerguard.com/csp/cms/sites/web/news/cityregion/24519427-41/essig-game-court-basketball-mac.csp |title=Still Quackin' |date=March 6, 2010|last=Baker |first=Mark |access-date=September 20, 2010|work=[[The Register-Guard]]| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100923102447/http://special.registerguard.com/csp/cms/sites/web/news/cityregion/24519427-41/essig-game-court-basketball-mac.csp| archive-date= September 23, 2010 | url-status= live}}</ref> Between the first and second quarter, the song "Coming Home" by Eugene native [[Mat Kearney]] is played.<ref name=krasnowski/> Although Kearney did not attend the school, the song references the state and the music video was filmed in the stadium. Also, because of the use of Autzen Stadium and the University of Oregon campus in ''[[National Lampoon's Animal House]]'', the [[toga party]] scene of the movie featuring the song [[Shout (The Isley Brothers song)|"Shout"]] is played at the end of the third quarter, with the crowd dancing to the song.<ref name=krasnowski/>

Prior to the football team taking the field, a highlight video of previous games is shown on the jumbotron, nicknamed "Duckvision". The last highlight on the clip is almost always Kenny Wheaton's game-clinching 97-yard interception return for a touchdown against the Washington Huskies in 1994. "The Pick" is often seen as the turning point for Oregon football, which went on to the Rose Bowl that year and have enjoyed success for the most part ever since after years of losing records.

After the video, the team takes the field behind a motorcycle with the Oregon Duck riding on back to the strains of ''[[Mighty Oregon]]''. This is followed by the north side of the stadium chanting "GO" with the south side chanting "DUCKS!".

After every Duck score and win, a train horn blares. In addition, the Oregon Duck mascot does as many pushups as Oregon has points at that time.

==ESPN College Gameday==
[[ESPN]]'s [[College GameDay (football)|College GameDay]] program came to Eugene for games played in Autzen Stadium six straight years, from 2009 through 2014, the most of any other school during that period. Overall, GameDay has made thirteen visits to Oregon, most recently in 2025 against the Indiana Hoosiers, and the Ducks have been a part of 34 GameDay broadcasts, either at Autzen or as a visiting team. Oregon has the tenth most appearances<!-- (28) on GameDay-->, posting a {{winpct|19|12|record=y}} record.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://uonews.uoregon.edu/archive/news-release/2014/9/uo-sets-another-record-return-espn’s-college-game-day |title= News Releases for September, 2014 &#124; Media Relations|website=uonews.uoregon.edu |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140905212909/http://uonews.uoregon.edu/archive/news-release/2014/9/uo-sets-another-record-return-espn |archive-date=September 5, 2014}}</ref>

===In Film===
It was also used as the location for the fictional [[Faber College]] football stadium in the 1978 movie, ''[[National Lampoon's Animal House]]''. There is a well-known geographical error made during a scene set inside the stadium when [[Pacific-10]] conference banners can clearly be seen in the background, even though the fictional Faber College is supposed to be located in [[Tennessee]] as shown by the state flag in the hearing room for the Delta House probation case.

===Soccer===
On July 24, 2016, Autzen Stadium hosted a [[2016 International Champions Cup]] match between [[Inter Milan]] and [[Paris Saint-Germain F.C.|Paris Saint-Germain]], which was won by Paris Saint-Germain by a score of 3-1.
