The year begins with a classic afternoon of football in Eugene, and ends with the latest edition in an historic rivalry. In all, Autzen Stadium will host seven Oregon football games in the upcoming season, and the gameday experience at the home of UO football features several significant enhancements for 2023.
Autzen Stadium Gameday Enhancements:
From the renovated Charter Box to a new video board in the Moshofsky Center, from updated concession items to new lighting along the path from the Frohnmayer Bridge to Autzen Stadium, fans attending the Ducks' seven home games this season will see updated features throughout the complex. The athletic department also has implemented digital parking passes for 2023, allowing fans to transfer or sell passes they won't be using.
The Charter Box, located on the North side of the stadium, is a 400-seat shared suite experience that received a number of upgrades over the offseason, including bigger, more ergonomic seating and renovated common areas. The new video board in the Moshofsky Center will make for an even more dynamic tailgating environment prior to and during home games.
Throughout the season, fans seated in the updated Charter Box and also those in the Club at Autzen – which features an additional bar for the upcoming season – will have access to complimentary popcorn during games. On the concourse, new concession items including burger specials, a turkey sandwich and additional beer options will be available, and new food truck options will be available on the Moshofsky Center Plaza.

Home Schedule:
The home schedule begins with Portland State visiting Autzen Stadium on Sept. 2. It should be a classic environment for longtime UO football fans, with affordable ticket pricing, a kickoff time of noon in what's forecasted as beautiful weather – and all for the chance to see a preseason top-15 team as Oregon hosts the Vikings. The schedule wraps up on Nov. 24, with a visit by Oregon State for the 127th edition of the rivalry series.
Those games bookend a seven-game slate of home contests for the Ducks at Autzen Stadium this fall. As the start of the season nears, games against Colorado, Washington State, USC and Oregon State are nearly sold out already. Tickets for the USC game can only be secured at this point through a season ticket or mini-plan, the safest options for ensuring a seat in Autzen Stadium for all seven games in 2023.
For fans who traditionally purchase single-game tickets the day of, securing tickets now will help them avoid the risk of being left out due to a sellout.
- 9/2 – Portland State – home opener!
- 9/16 – Hawai'i
- 9/23 – Colorado – nearly sold out!
- 10/21 – Washington State (Homecoming) – nearly sold out!
- 11/4 – California
- 11/11 – USC – only available by purchasing season tickets or a mini plan.
- 11/24 (Friday) – Oregon State – nearly sold out!
Maui Relief Efforts:
The home opener will also be the first of two chances to contribute to a fundraising drive to benefit the Hawaii Community Foundation, supporting those impacted by the wildfires on Maui. For the home opener and again when Hawai'i visits Eugene on Sept. 16, fans will be able to scan a QR code and donate to the relief effort. All contributions up to $25,000 to the effort – being held in partnership with Marcus Mariota's Motiv8 Foundation – will be 100 percent matched by a private donation.
The athletic department's efforts to support wildfire victims began with a donation drive hosted by the Oregon volleyball program for its exhibition match Aug. 19. In addition, the department will auction off one of the football program's "Ohana" jerseys from the 2021 season, with proceeds supporting wildfire victims. And $1 for every Hop Valley beer sold at the Oregon vs. Hawaii game will be donated by Hop Valley.
