OregonDucks    No. 2 Share Posted June 15 I’m disappointed that they didn’t expand Autzen stadium before the first B1G football game in Eugene. Those mid-west fans travel as well as anyone.  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty or at least empty stadiums feel and look awful and can create a feedback loop that only makes them more empty.  Keeping Autzen packed and loud is the goal. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have already explained that they can only do one major project at a time. Right now, they are working on the new indoor practice facility, and with the restructuring of the streets and area--it has taken longer than originally planned. Stadium expansion probably won't happen for four years, as they haven't even broke ground yet on this current project.   Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Log Haulin    No. 6 Share Posted June 15 I don't mind spending a couple/few hundred to go see a big game once or twice a year. These prices, in my mind, can't be justified.  Television coverage is excellent these days and UO is a primetime attraction.  College football, a stretch calling it that these days, is rapidly becoming unrecognizable. We will see where the college game ends up but I will not be spending thousands to watch a game that, to me, is becoming increasingly unattractive.  That's just me though. I have no opinion on those who are willing to spend that kind of money. Many will.  I can see many occasional attendees and season ticket holders being priced out of a seat. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicroBurst61    No. 7 Share Posted June 15 Win that first "Natty" this year and just sit back and watch as everyone involved with Oregon Football, falls and trips over themselves, in expanding Autzen Stadium as soon as humanly possible. (Hell at $600.00 a seat for the "cheap seats", am surprised they aren't already!).  I think expanding to 75,000 seems about right and finish the iconic "O" shape viewed from above.  Until then...I have a small tool shed out back of my home. Has electricity. Only asking $250.00 a night for the Ohio State game....any Buckeye takers???...LOL.  Go B1GBOY Ducks! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't agree at all. The GAME is still the same, but the factors, the changes we do not like are not on the football field. None of us like the changes, so your opinion is not unusual, but the football on the field is the same.  Yet....I could certainly make an argument that the game is better. Why? Because due to NIL...players like Terrance Ferguson, and Ajani Cornelius would have gone onto the NFL, and instead are staying. They make the team better, and thus the entertainment on the field is better. The overall college game is improved by experienced players staying for a final year.  A team's ticket prices being bid so high in the aftermarket means that the team is going to do very well, and be incredibly entertaining.  And that....sounds like Our Beloved Ducks!  1 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only group I am worried about being priced out are the students. Today's students are tomorrow's boosters and super fans.  Unlike the 'Good Olde Days,' media coverage of this game will be voluminous and available on TV worldwide, Today, you can watch the game on network TV without having to pay for this heavy-weight fight as a one-off sporting event. Not too long from now, the 'Good Olde Days' will be today.  In 2031 Oregon is predicted to bring in $100M plus annual media revenue. The B1G will continue to be the conference leader in revenue. You can't make this money and expect Linfield College ticket prices.  Again, I get your angst. On the Right Coast, the angst will be exacerbated by a 7:30 to 8 PM Eastern kick-off.  On The Sunny Side, we're less than fifty days away from the start of a much-anticipated season; with even more eyeballs on the prize than the 4M+ plus who watched Oregon play in 2023.  Vanquish the Vandals! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles is correct. Wanted to bring back an article about expanding Autzen. Hidden in this artcle:  When was Autzen Stadium built? A timeline of Oregon football’s home venue There's a lot of history to Autzen Stadium. When was Autzen Stadium built? Where did the Ducks play before it was built?  When was Autzen Stadium built? A timeline of Oregon football’s home venue AUTZENZOO.COM Autzen Stadium is the legendary home of the Oregon Ducks. The Oregon football team, one of the most prominent programs in college football, has a rich history.  Here is the article about possible future renovations from almost a year ago:  Expanding north side of Autzen Stadium ‘on our radar’ for Oregon Ducks  Details are murky about exactly how much bigger Oregon is aiming to make its football stadium, which has officially seated 54,000 since the south side was expanded in 2902. According to a source, early plans include the possibility of adding a second deck to the north side, which would closely mirror the south side of the stadium, and expanding and upgrading the Charter Box seating area.  Enhancing Autzen Stadium would likely come after the completion of the new indoor football practice facility.  Expanding north side of Autzen Stadium ‘on our radar’ for Oregon Ducks WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM Autzen is the fifth-largest football stadium in the Pac-12, but it will be the 13th-largest in the 18-team Big Ten.  1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
