Re: Greetings from an Oregon Fan
I’m a Montana State grad who had Duck season tickets from 1998-2019 while living in Portland.
Looking forward for a return to Autzen. The last game I went to there was the Civil War in 2021. It will definitely be odd cheering against the Ducks, but after the game, it’s back to being a fan of both teams through their respective postseasons.

Re: Greetings from an Oregon Fan
Thanks for reaching out. Welcome to Bobcat Nation! I hope you enjoy the game and interacting with our community!mt_duck wrote: ↑Tue Aug 19, 2025 10:56 amDuck fan here just checking in. Game week’s coming up and I figured I’d stop by and say hi. Not here to troll, just thought it’d be good to talk about the matchup and answer any questions you might have about the Ducks, Autzen, Eugene, or gameday experience.
If you’re making the trip or just curious about what to expect, ask away. Always good to trade some info before kickoff. Looking forward to having you guys at Autzen!

Re: Greetings from an Oregon Fan
Considering Oregon is breaking in at least Dante Moore at QB and possibly Austin Novosad also getting first half snaps, I took the Bobcats at -28.5 for $50 and hope the ground game can chew up some clock.
Something like a 38-14 Ducks win seems reasonable to me.

Re: Greetings from an Oregon Fan
I have a question about the seating. Can people bring in their cushioned seats or their own folding stadium seats?

Re: Greetings from an Oregon Fan
+1 to the end of the first quarter and end of the third quarter; those are really cool Autzen traditions and absolutely worth it to see and even participate.
I'm an Oregonian by birth and grew up watching the Ducks; the Rich Brooks Rose Bowl, the pick, Masoli, Dennis Dixon, DaT, Marcus... man, great stuff. I was even there for Vernon Adams' first game, along with Prukop's.
It's going to be weird to be cheering against the Ducks, but once a Bobcat...

Re: Greetings from an Oregon Fan
Looks like our Duck friend has gone silent. I was hoping to get some insight how long their gate lines are about 1 hour or so before the game. I certainly don't want to miss part of the game with a 30-40 minute entrance wait. At this point, my group of 8 is taking the Autzen Shuttle from the Pacific Source parking lot in Springfield. Hoping the ride is only about 20 minutes but can't find any information on timing.94VegasCat wrote: ↑Sat Aug 23, 2025 8:01 amI have a question about the seating.

As far as seats, I read their Clear Bag Policy and it is same at MSU's. Seats that are 17.5 inches or smaller are allowed. Just like at Bobcat Stadium

South entrance is usually the side I entered. I'd be shocked if you waited 30 minutes.
Don't let this distract you from the fact that the griz blew a 22-0 lead.

Re: Greetings from an Oregon Fan
Apologies, it’s been a busy week. I’d say your best bet to avoid lines is to go into the Mashofsky center (The Mo) before the game as it’s considered inside the stadium and that’s where your ticket will be scanned. Depending on when you enter, the line shouldn’t be bad at all. You can go right from there to your seat without any more lines. If you’re not attending an actual tailgate somewhere before the game, the Mashofsky center is definitely the place. You should go to grab food and drinks and some shade before the game starts.Catprint wrote: ↑Tue Aug 26, 2025 11:26 pmLooks like our Duck friend has gone silent.

The Pacific source lot is always the one that I recommend as it’s easy in and out, and I would say the ride is definitely less than 20 minutes probably more like 15 max. It can sometimes be a bit confusing to get on the shuttle again after the game is over, but just pay attention to all the people guiding fans toward various bus pick ups.

Re: Greetings from an Oregon Fan
May or may not be of interest to some here, but Oregon does a 4 episode Hard Knocks style YouTube show for fall camp, about 25-30 minutes an episode. The last episode dropped tonight where your guys are featured, and Dan had some nice stuff to say about your team. This is episode 4 of 4.
