Ranked by ESPN as one of the “Top 10 Intimidating Stadiums” and consistently ranked among the nation’s top 10 venues to watch a college football game, Autzen Stadium at the University of Oregon was renovated in 2003 by Ellerbe Becket, an AECOM Company, to expand its capacity by 12,000 seats, 32 new luxury suites and two private clubs. Now the Pac-10 stadium often fills to its 54,000 seating capacity with fans during home games.
Premium improvements included a wood roof over the 3,200 club seats to honor one tradition and the return of valet bicycle parking to celebrate another. Walkways and concourse areas were widened to better accommodate the stadium’s increased seating capacity.
