This may be a fine venue for performances, but accessibility for the disabled is an afterthought. A…read morevery late afterthought. Is it technically ADA compliant? Probably. Barely. When you arrive from the south (as we did) you are met with a giant staircase to enter. Turns out there is a ramp on the north side. You wouldn't know that though, as there is nary a sign to be seen. Once you go around the building you can get in. There are metal detectors. They're sort of unattended though, or at least the people working them are far on the other side. What's a wheelchair to do? We tried getting someone's attention and eventually they irritatedly told us to just go through. We did. Not sure what kind of metal detectors those are supposed to be when the fully metal wheelchair didn't set them off. Now... our tickets are on the mezzanine. How do we get there? Lots of stairs.... No signs for an elevator. Had to ask around. There is one- way around the corner. It's small, old, and slow. But we got there. No bathrooms on the mezzanine though. Too bad for us. Then, after the show... the elevator.... There's a sign telling able bodied people to take the stairs.... But they don't. They just look at us sheep faced as they come down from the higher balconies packed full so we can't get in. No attendant or anything, no staff member to tell them no, so... us folx with wheelchairs and canes and walkers, we just wait for all the able bodies to get down. (And of course not all disabilities are visible. But their eyes told us their guilt.) We were there to see Tig Notaro. I think she'd be ashamed of some of her fans. And the venue. Do better.

I sat in Row C so I was fairly close to the front. This venue does offer some snacks as well as drinks for purchase. The drink prices were about average for when you go to a venue.

Great price, 2 day admission, additional beer tickets for $1 each and heavy handed pours on day 2,…read morewhat's not to like? This is the best beer festival we have been to. Due to the price and the selection of breweries this is excellent value for your money. The popcorn was also 1 ticket and there were many food vendors to pick from. The vendor prices were reasonable too. There was a separate room for games and rolled derby. They had a large connect four, and other extra large board games . This review reflects my experience in 2019.

Standing water on the floor is gross. Many attendees were yelling at people who were standing when we all purchased the same general admission and instead of telling the people that we're upset to move, CMS asked those standing to sit but were not consistent as have the crowd was standing. It was very uncomfortable and disappointing. The show itself was great, including the sound.

Birds flying overhead, no ambient noise, a nice little breeze, that part was perfect. Seats were pretty comfortable too, for a concert venue. But there were some issues too. I don't live in Eugene so I don't know this place's history but it seems like it was really meant for smaller events, not "big shows" by popular artists. It's not big enough and doesn't have enough amenities to really support a bigger show like that. But of course that's where the money is. The lines for merch and food were so long you couldn't even tell where one started and another ended. The stage is pretty small, the "big" screen isn't that big, etc. And man was it loud. Definitely bring some ear plugs if you're in the seated area. Parking is free which is nice but it's just a grass field with the bumpiest driving ever. So many holes, bumps, divots, etc. I can't believe I didn't roll my ankle walking in and out. And be prepared to wait 30+ minutes to get out afterward. Would I go back? Eh, maybe. I'm also a little biased because the show started an hour and a half late (not the venue's fault) and the opening act was the worst one I've ever seen at a concert.

Time for another annual trip to the Junction City Scandinavian Festival! This year the crowds of…read morevisitors all seem in good spirits. Many people wearing various styles of lederhosen, others dressed as vikings, Oompa music fills the air along with the cooking aromas from Elephant Ears, Meat Pies, aebleskivers and brats! Ice cream and various cold drinks are also available. There are the usual array of vendors selling t-shirts, jewelry, handmade crafts, and the food! There is also plenty of entertainment to be had. There is an area for performing dancers doing traditional folk song and dance as well as a Maypole waiting to be decorated. I found a vendor for a company called 'Just Rum' who had a unique and very old recipe for the manufacture of rum. Utilizing these old recipes this company based in Sandy Oregon had come up with several award winning rums with varying alcohol levels. After a very entertaining and informative tasting session, I just had to purchase a bottle of Blackberry Rum! This is some potent stuff and seems to work best as a mixer, although there is one with a very high alcohol content made for sipping. Moving along to the Viking Village section I came across a vendor I had met last year. A leather belt maker. He does the whole process starting with a hide. Tanning the leather, cutting and tooling the designs, staining and preserving, it's just good quality craftsmanship. I purchased a belt from him and it's still in such good shape that I decided the cost was worth it to pick another style from him. He will also be at the Oktoberfest in Mt. Angel. Having secured my purchase of another belt, we escaped the heat for a bit by going into the crafts building where some of the more delicate items are on display. One of the real eye catching items is lampshades made out of wood! These shades are carved so thinly that light actually penetrates the wood casting a fantastic incandescent sepia tone of light. Time for some eats now, so we moved along and found an assortment or caramel apples with nuts, chocolate, M&Ms... you name it. We were also very happy to find some outstanding corn on the cob and some Danish Sausage Dogs with a very authentic European style casing that actually gave a crisp snap as you bite into the sausage. Thank You Junction City for another successful Scandinavian Festival. I just might come back before this four day event ends!

Autzen Stadium is amazing! Honestly, I was really anxious visiting this place for the first time…read moregiven its massive scale, but everything worked out great! I'm recovering from an injury and currently have an ADA placard for parking. My parking space was located steps away from the front gate, and the elevator was only a few steps away from the gate! I couldn't be happier with this facility's accomodations for those with mobility issues. My first visit was for a Savannah Banana's game (Bananas against the Party Animals) and we weren't sure whether the weather would cooperate. I was pleased to discover the pregame activities were held in a gigantic fully-enclosed arena next door to the stadium, which had a large jumbotron, restrooms, water fountains, and every other comfort one would need. This place is massive in scale, and I never felt claustrophobic or overwhelmed in any way. There is a long ramp that encircles the stadium, a giant staircase, as well as ADA elevators to access the stadium. Even though this place accomodates 60,000 people, you wouldn't know it because the layout enables many people to enter and exit at once. There are bench seats in the stadium, with the option to rent cushioned seats and backrests near the points of entry. With two giant jumbotrons, there didn't really seem to be a bad seat in the house. We had a wonderful time! (And the Bananas won!)

"It never rains...in Autzen Stadium!" - Don Essig, longtime Autzen PA announcer…read more Well, yeah, sure. But also, surrrrrre, Don. But who really cares? You're in Oregon, where the climate has its own ideas on where and when things will change. You're just off campus of the University of Oregon, across the Willamette (highly recommend the bridge walk, it's a tradition), and you're going to be a part of a crowd of ~60,000. And while that is far less than some other venues, these crowds get throaty and LOUD, especially when the Ducks have the opponents pinned deep in their own end. Also, that's when the rain is a big help, because fumbles happen. The steps on the south end take you right under the big O, letting you know just who calls this place home. If you're so inclined, then you can walk the ramps up the east or west sides, too, so those who might need accessibility or just people who hate stairs can be accommodated. The concourses are pretty wide, though when concessions lines are long, the concourses are still cramped. Restrooms are plenty and have LOTS of facilities, so you *might* even be able to make a comfort stop during a commercial break. But if you miss the action and the crowd roars, then the restrooms are quite the echo chamber. Autzen has had a gazillion magic moments, the Duck ALWAYS entertains, and it's fairly visiting-fan friendly, as long as yer not OSU. This is also the venue for the main graduation ceremony, stuffing the south stands with family & friends to celebrate their Ducks' academic accomplishments. So while Kenny Wheaton's '94 'pick six' or the 32-31 barnburner against Ohio State in '24 are hallowed memories here, so too are those school-related festivities, not just sportsball. And yes, I'm biased because my Duck walked here. Parking isn't easy, and traffic gets managed along MLK Jr Way, but that's where the bridge walk helps. If you need merch or the latest in UO garb, then the Duck Store might have something for all ages. Hey, even the Grateful Dead played here TEN times, so you know almost anyone could call this a special place. Come early. Wear green. Be LOUD.

May the 4th Be With You A Eugene Symphony Event,…read moreStar Wars a New Hope The Eugene Symphony is absolutely flawless! True Professionals at their finest, they always leave me amazed. This event was Star Wars in a symphony concert. They performed so well I couldn't believe it. For 2 1/2 hours with not a missed note, skipped beat, not a single flaw. The music was performed seamlessly and perfectly to the showing on the screen. The event did have a comical side to it though. Similar to the 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' of years gone by, there were plenty of concert goers in full costume of various characters including those carrying lightsabers. $$TIP$$ Don't be duped by ticketmaster, they are an overpriced middleman service that just increases the cost. We saved $50 each on our tickets by calling the Hult Center directly and they mailed the tickets to us. Avoid Ticketmaster and save some money.

We were treated to a really fun swag bag that included some pre-event snacks, a pair of tickets, an invite to a pre-performance talk and great seats. Even without all of the Elite treatment the Eugene Symphony is truly exceptional. The works that they take on from classical to more modern and even avant garde are impressive and engaging. Having lived in larger metropolitan cities I'm thrilled to have such quality talent in our moderate sized city that attracts world class performers. I will genuinely be spending more time with the Eugene Symphony.
