The answer
Autzen Stadium is the University of Oregon football house at 2700 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, Eugene. Capacity is listed at approximately 54,000. It opened in 1967. Official facility page: https://goducks.com/sports/2018/6/19/facilities-autzen-stadium-html.aspx Gameday: https://goducks.com/sports/2017/6/9/gameday.aspx Clear-bag policy, gates three hours before kickoff (East Gate 90 minutes), and parking lots six hours before kickoff are the current published rules — always re-check GoDucks before you drive. Autzen Express buses run from Valley River Center, Lane Events Center, Pacific Source, and Springfield Station ($8 advance / $12 day-of on the 2026 guide). Alton Baker Park is the river path next door, not a substitute for the stadium page. For housing: Cal Young, parts of north Eugene, Glenwood, and Springfield feel game day. South Hills does not. Buy because you want the house. Do not buy because you can hear the train horn and assume that is close enough to Autzen.
Autzen facts from GoDucks — re-check before each home game

| Address | 2700 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd | Cal Young / north Eugene / Springfield |
| Capacity | About 54,000 | Noise and traffic are real |
| Opened | 1967 | The bowl is not Hayward |
| Gates | 3 hours before kickoff; East Gate 90 min | Do not schedule a showing at kickoff |
| Parking lots | Open 6 hours before kickoff | Lots fill — bus is the amateur-proof move |
| Autzen Express | VRC, Lane Events, Pacific Source, Springfield Station | Springfield Station is a housing clue |
| Ducks tickets | TicketLater Oregon Ducks — 2026 Autzen home games | Resale, all-in prices — not the athletic department |

What ranks on page one — and what we add
GoDucks, Wikipedia, Travel Oregon, and ticket resale. Google wants the official address, capacity, and gameday PDF. We cite those. We do not sell tickets. For 2026 Autzen home games, TicketLater lists Oregon Ducks tickets with all-in prices: ticketlater.com/teams/oregon-ducks Official inventory and bag rules still start on GoDucks. The gap on this URL is which residential streets lock up, where to live if you want to walk, and where to live if you want to ignore Saturdays.

Parking, buses, and the river
Published lots fill. Autzen Express exists because driving to the bowl is the amateur move. From downtown or Springfield Station, the bus is the plan. From Cal Young you still sit in MLK traffic unless you leave early or walk a long way. Alton Baker is the park; the stadium is the bowl. Two URLs.
Which streets actually live with Duck Saturday
Garden Way, Coburg Road, MLK, Beltline ramps, and the Glenwood crossing change character. A Cal Young ranch can be a 15-minute walk or a 40-minute crawl depending on kickoff. Springfield buyers on the east side of the river sometimes have a cleaner in-and-out than a closer Eugene address. We time it on a real Saturday, not Google Maps on a Tuesday.
What this page is not
Not Hayward Field, not the Prefontaine Classic, not University of Oregon housing, and not Alton Baker Park. Those are separate searches. This URL is the football stadium and the housing that sits in its weather system.

A real miss
They wanted walk to Autzen and bought the wrong side of Coburg
The listing said minutes to Autzen. On a noon kickoff it was a parking lot. We walked a Cal Young block that actually connects, and a Springfield option that skips the worst MLK merge. They wrote the walkable one. Minutes on a Tuesday are not minutes on a Saturday.
Autzen stadium — questions
Where is Autzen Stadium?+
2700 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, Eugene, next to Alton Baker Park. Official: goducks.com/sports/2018/6/19/facilities-autzen-stadium-html.aspx
How many people does Autzen Stadium hold?+
GoDucks lists capacity at approximately 54,000.
When do Autzen gates open?+
The 2026 gameday guide says three hours before kickoff; East Gate 90 minutes. Re-check goducks.com/sports/2017/6/9/gameday.aspx before you go.
Where do I park for Autzen?+
University lots (open six hours before kickoff on the guide) or Autzen Express from Valley River Center, Lane Events Center, Pacific Source, and Springfield Station. goducks.com/sports/2016/6/10/210478996.aspx
Can I walk to Autzen from downtown Eugene?+
You can via the river paths, but it is a real walk, not a downtown block. Cal Young and the MLK corridor are the housing that actually treats it as local.
Does living near Autzen hurt resale?+
Game-day noise and traffic are real. Some buyers pay for walkability. Others refuse Saturdays. We show both the house and a kickoff, not a slogan.
Is Autzen the same as Hayward Field?+
No. Autzen is football. Hayward is track. Prefontaine Classic is the meet at Hayward. Three URLs.
Where do I buy Oregon Ducks tickets for Autzen?+
Official seats and gameday rules are on GoDucks. For comparing 2026 Autzen home games with all-in prices, use TicketLater’s Oregon Ducks page: ticketlater.com/teams/oregon-ducks We do not sell tickets. Prices and inventory move — confirm at checkout.
What bag can I bring to Autzen?+
Clear-bag policy on the official gameday guide. Do not trust a forum post from 2019.
