FishDuck Article Administrator No. 1 Share Posted 14 hours ago What was once an obvious choice in a discussion has now become a question to many Oregon fans. Should an expansion take place on Autzen Stadium as bantered about, or are other options better for the Oregon Athletic Department?

30Duck Moderator No. 2 Share Posted 14 hours ago I can see increasing the capacity by 8.000 or more. The situations are different, Mac Court, "The Pit" was literally crumbling, it had to be replaced. But MKA doesn't offer close to the fan experience that "The Pit" did. Autzen has the same identity, smaller, but very intimidating to opposing teams and their fans. Don't lose that by going bigger, but not better. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuackAttack No. 3 Share Posted 12 hours ago Finishing out the stadium wouldn't change the noise factor. The reason the South side of the stadium has the same shape is because they did sound studies and that is what gave Autzen its noise factor. So, it would literally be the old Autzen with more capacity. There isn't going to me more room on the sidelines, so it is going to feel just as intimidating. CRACK OPEN THE CHECKBOOK UNCLE PHIL, multiple Natty's to come with a larger stadium. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JW Approved No. 5 Share Posted 11 hours ago I've been told size doesn't matter... At least that is what I've heard from my Duke friends when referencing Cameron Indoor, and the "Cameron Crazies". The roughly 54,000-60,000 seems like a reasonable amount to me. I'm hoping for an updated north side with an over hanging roof similar to the south side. I really think the roof improves the noise level. Or some crazy outer shell like at Hayward Field. That has a great sound trap even when the crowd isn't very large.

JabbaNoBargain No. 6 Share Posted 7 hours ago (edited) Absolutely should expand. I think it’s charming we can tout always being over capacity, but we need the operational funds and more capacity for the mega-games.

kirklandduck Moderator No. 7 Share Posted 5 hours ago I echo some of the others were expanding some capacity would be good as long as you don't ruin the charm and experience (not to mention the noise advantage). But before that even becomes an official conversation the parking lot access, arterial roads to and from the freeway, and the freeway on/off ramps MUST be upgraded first for the love of Pete! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
