Autzen stadium is unique in it's own way. It is modern with an earthy, homey feel. Seating is made…read moreso everyone can see from any direction and with the giant hi def marquee and screen, you can see what's going on up front. Luckily, I live nearby, so I can walk to the venue instead of parking. From what I can tell, the parking is organized and close by...unlike some venue events in other states. There's plenty of concession stands so the lines doesn't get too long. Price point is okay, not overly high and service there is awesome. Beer price is great! What amazes me is that people who come to the Autzen stadium have respect for the stadium. What I mean is that they come in with their stuff and leave with their stuff...no excess trash on the stands. I've been to many sporting events and concerts in different stadiums and this is the only one that looks clean-ish when we leave! Looking forward to come back again.

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!)

There are stadiums... and then there are places that feel like they've been stitched into the soul…read moreof a sport. Hayward Field is the latter. I've always had a soft spot for this place. Maybe it's the ghosts of greatness knowing that Steve Prefontaine once tore across this very track with that fearless, front-running style. Maybe it's my love for everything University of Oregon the culture, the pride, the legacy. Or maybe it's just the way this place sits in Eugene like it belongs there, like it's earned its keep. But this visit hit different. We'd been out the night before one of those reckless, laugh-too-hard, probably-made-a-few-bad-decisions kind of nights. I woke up feeling like absolute trash. The kind of morning where your body is negotiating terms just to sit upright. But instead of folding, I dragged myself out to Hayward Field. And I ran. Not pretty. Not fast. Just honest. A few laps turned into more. Sweat started pouring, lungs opened up, and somewhere between the pain and the rhythm, something shifted. It was like the bad decisions from the night before were getting wrung out of me, step by step. A full-on purge. I'll be real there was a moment I thought I might throw up right there on sacred ground. But then the endorphins hit. And just like that I was back. Energy. Clarity. Fire. I went from wanting to crawl back into bed to feeling like I could take on the whole day. "Let's go fly," I said. "Let's go do something." That's what this place does it resets you. It brought me back to the last time I was here for the Eugene Marathon. That race... man. Grinding up hills, coasting through valleys, pushing through every doubt you've got and then finally coming back into Hayward Field. You hear your name, see your time, get that medal placed around your neck... it's more than a finish line. It's a moment you carry with you. This place is known as TrackTown, USA for a reason. It's hosted Olympic Trials, world-class competitions, and some of the best athletes to ever lace up a pair of running shoes. But beyond all the accolades, records, and history... it's personal. Because yeah I love the wild nights, the stories, the chaos. But places like this remind you of something just as important: take care of yourself. Move your body. Earn your breath. Even if you made a few bad calls the night before. So if you're in Eugene don't just drive by. Walk it. Run it. Feel it. You might show up feeling broken... and leave feeling like the king of the world.

I have now been to Matthew Knight arena twice. Once for a concert (Tim McGraw and Faith Hill) and…read morelast night for the women's game vs. Oregon State. The arena doesn't have great acoustics for a concert. The seats seems a little too sloped, so I got the feeling like I was going to pitch forward when I needed to stand for people trying to get in and out. Parking is a nightmare, as there isn't enough venue parking available, necessitating having to park a mile away in the residential areas and walking (if it's raining, which happens in Oregon from time to time, you are doomed). For the women's game, this place is a disaster. It was quick to get scanned in and the woman we asked about the General Admission seating was helpful. The lady handling the elevator was very nice. Then my youngest and my two 70+ year old folks ventured to find our seats. When you buy General Admission tickets, you are not notified that you aren't actually getting an assigned seat, even though the tickets list a section, a row, and seat numbers. That's a lie. If you work (like me) and can't get to the game 30 minutes early, you may not get a seat. Lots of people had to stand, which makes NO sense. At football games, you can pay significantly less for standing room tickets. Here, you may or may not have to stand, but you pay just as much to stand as you do to possibly sit. It's BS. So we looked and looked in various sections, often finding jerks who had jackets on empty seats. When asked if we could sit there, they were always being saved. We asked attendants what we were supposed to do and they told us to talk to the ticket office and walked away. What are they there for!? To be a-holes to guests? Finally, 8 minutes into the 1st quarter that we missed, we found two seats and my mom and youngest took them. I was able to find one by itself in front of them. My 72 year old dad? He had to stand. Was there another open seat? Sure. There were two old guys in front of me that wouldn't give up the seat in-between them. When I asked an attendant that walked by if they could make them give up that seat, they told the guy that they were saving it for a friend (that never showed up apparently, because they both rested their elbows on the empty seat the entire time) and the attendant walked away. Again, what are they there for? They don't DO anything! My dad ultimately watched the game from the top of the stairs. We had an OK time, but we were really close to paying $250 for 4 "seats" to a basketball where we all could have been standing the entire time. I'm fairly pissed about it. Standing room only tickets should be $5. If you buy a ticket and it gives you a section, row, and seat number, you should HAVE a seat to sit in. Combine that with zero parking and employees who don't DO anything, and I don't have any desire to attend another game. It is a real shame, because I would like to support Oregon athletics, but greedy people who oversell and put profits over providing a great atmosphere and experience make it nearly impossible.

I was there for a Eugene Emeralds game on Pride Night. When you arrive there is merch on one side…read moreand a bar/beer garden on the other, then a couple of porta potties including a handicap one, and then a huge flight of stairs to get to most of the park. There must have been an elevator but it wasn't obvious to my eyes. I took a lot of photos of food options, because if you have a more restricted diet you might want to know what's available before you go. I did not get a shot of every menu but I got most. Or course it may vary from time to time. I was happy to see that Peek A Book Delight was there, and was able to get a cup of mango slices with seasonings like chamoy and lime. You can get peanuts for $3 and Prince Puckler's ice cream. The stadium itself just has one main screen and there were no instant replays during the game, but they did have those fun and silly fan games in between innings that were sponsored by various local businesses. The park being outside got chilly at night but the restroom was warm. There was a couch in the women's room. Note that they have a clear bag policy and if you have a prepaid ticket to park in the East Lot, the entrance is at MLK Way and Kinsrow. Google maps took me to the wrong place and I had to drive a bit to figure out where I was supposed to go as the signage was not so good.

PK Park is the home stadium of the UO Ducks baseball team, and shared with the Ems during their…read moreseason. PK Park is not very old--baseball only returned to the university as a NCAA sport about 15 years ago. Most of the donations came from a prior athletic director, whose initials for the name of the ballpark. It's small but mighty, with a total capacity of about 4,000. There are suites, a picnic area, and so on. We walked all the way to the other side of the stadium and down to ground level to the only merch booth that exists in the stadium and they had one toddler shirt. That was a bummer. I was really hoping to find at least a couple options between which to choose, and would have liked to find their Monarcas gear in something that wasn't a jersey (I'd like to wear it as an everyday shirt, and the only times I've ever worn a jersey--which I can count on one hand--was at an actual baseball game); even better if they'd had children's monarcas gear. Some of the food was ok and rather reasonably priced. We were able to get a hot dog and corn dog for about $4 each--go to one of the "regular" concession stands, not the one with fancier items, where you would see a footlong hot dog for $17. They had some nachos that looked tasty, but we skipped them this time. The favorite was the cotton candy. Even my sister remarked on how good it was, because it actually tasted like raspberry (or whatever flavor it was supposed to have), and often cotton candy doesn't really have much of a flavor. It was also only $8 and I was expecting it would be higher than that. Whew, a price break. Parking is plentiful. I think it was $2? You have to pay by card only as they don't accept cash. The line at the ticket booth was really long and it took my sister 15-20 minutes to get tickets, so probably better to buy online if you can. And if you have an "oversized bag", apparently you're required to enter through the south entrance even though there's nothing indicating that (nor what an "oversized bag" is, so check the website to see if there are actual details on it).

I attended UO for a couple years before transferring. The education was good, but it's a large university so there are going to be those courses where you're one of 100 other students in a huge lecture hall. I also took several Japanese and music courses that had 20-30 students, so it all depends upon what you're taking, of course. The university itself is nice, a lovely setting. It's an arboretum, with over 500 species of trees on campus, and there are several thousand trees on campus as well. Pioneer Cemetery cuts through campus--yes, I've used it as a shortcut. The Oregon Bach Festival is kind of headquartered here, with Festival events taking place at the Hult Center as well as other venues around town. The Museum of Natural and Cultural History sits on the east side of campus and shares history of the city and larger geographical area. I visited and saw a really interesting exhibit about Black history in Eugene and I really appreciated this perspective on my hometown that I didn't learn about in elementary, middle, or high school. There is the ugly, of course, which is Nike's relationship to the university. The company started in Eugene when the famous coach Bill Bowerman used a waffle iron to improve the shoes his runners wore, and student Phil Knight partnered with him and it took off. Federal and state disinvestment in higher education makes for partnerships that are vital to the university, which is happening here. Buildings, athletics facilities, etc. are heavily influenced by or downright decided by the man himself, I'm sure, which is uncomfortable. Hopefully it frees up money in other places to hep students attend. I can't say my review is totally unbiased because of the hometown connection--it has a special place in my heart for that reason. If UO had had the major I wanted, I would have stayed there to complete my education--but that's easy for me to say as an in-state student. But I know several folks from Eugene or beyond who went there and are also happy with the education they received and the setting in which they received it, so it's worth checking out.

The produce is high quality and well priced. The haunted experience was extensive, it goes around the whole farm so it's like doing multiple haunted houses. The actors were awesome.
