Through the tall trees, I sit here peering out my window at Autzen Stadium and can only think of the wonders of a game day snack. When fans walk to Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon, it is not just for the electric atmosphere of Oregon Ducks football. While the main attraction is on the field, the food scene within the loud stadium has grown to its own experience. As fans bleed green and yellow cheering on their team, the stadium caters to a casual snack sneaker and the discerning foodie.
No football experience is complete without the staples of stadium food. Hotdogs, pretzels, popcorn, and nachos are available at the fingertips of every duck fan; the concession stands throughout the stadium are filled with loving workers to make your experience a little bit better. The great Autzen Dog, my favorite, is often topped with any fixings one can imagine. Or even warm salted pretzels and butter buttery popcorn to satisfy the cravings for something salty.
Autzen Stadium gives more than just stadium fare. Local flavors and fresh ingredients have been incorporated into the seats. A taste of the Pacific Northwest from local vendors has fans running. From burgers featuring locally sourced beef to bratwurst made with regional ingredients, these choices are perfect for fans who want to enjoy more than just standard stadium fare.
What goes beyond a juicy bratwurst top with relish and ketchup? One of the highlights of Auzten’s scene is its variety of craft beers. Local breweries like Deschutes, Ninkasi, and Hop Valley often have their products featured in the stadium. This allows fans to enjoy a cold, refreshing drink while supporting local businesses. Whether you’re an IPA fan or prefer a light lager, there’s a craft beer option for everyone.
Autzen Stadium’s food scene is as diverse and dynamic as the fans who fill the stands. From classic stadium hot dogs and nachos to locally sourced gourmet burgers and craft beers, the stadium offers a little something for everyone. Whether you’re a die-hard Ducks fan or just enjoying the game-day experience, the variety and quality of the food at Autzen ensures that no one leaves the stadium hungry. So next time you cheer on the Ducks, take a moment to savor the food offerings—because the experience at Autzen goes far beyond the field.
