The green and yellow color scheme of the Oregon Ducks pervades everything for miles around here. This stadium is the largest spectator venue in Oregon, and it fills to the brim six times every fall. It was originally constructed as a circle with a hole for the field, seating about 35,000. It has since been expanded twice, each time in the form of a larger arc favoring one side of the field, so the effect now is of a lumpy figure-8. Parking is at a premium (due to the adjacent baseball field), and the web site directs fans to several satellite parking areas, where shuttles leave for the stadium. Oregon fans are known for their early arrivals and pregame parties. and are masters at the single parking stall party. The festivities also include live music (weather permitting). Postgame celebrations are tolerated, but every car leaving passes a sobriety checkpoint.
