Eugene weather in October can be unpredictable. We tend to plan for rain, but hope for sun. Be sure to pack a rain jacket, umbrella, warm clothes, and Duck gear! If you are attending the football game, the game day color is black. • What if I don’t have hotel accomodations yet? Hotel availability is extremely limited; make plans as soon as possible. If you’re not sure where to start, check out Travel Lane County’s website. VISITING CAMPUS • Where should I park during Fall Family Weekend? We recommend the Columbia Garage on 13th street or the paid lots around the Erb Memorial Union. Our future confirmation e-mails will include additional maps to assist with parking and navigating campus. Parking permits are not included in your registration for Fall Family Weekend. • What if I can’t check in? If you are unable to check in on Friday or Saturday, please send your student with their University of Oregon ID during either of the times to gather your materials. • How do I get into the museums and the Student Recreation Center? Pick up credentials during check-in to gain free access to the on-campus museums and the Student Recreation Center. ENJOYING THE ATHLETIC EXPERIENCE • Does my student need a volleyball ticket? No, your student can use their valid student ID to get into the volleyball game on Friday evening. Their ID will get them into student seating or general admission with you. • Where to park for the football game? Most families choose to park close to campus and participate in the walk over to Autzen with other Duck fans. If you do want to park at the stadium, parking information can be found at goducks.com. • Does my student need a football ticket? That depends. All seating within Autzen Stadium is reserved. If your student has a student season ticket or gets a ticket in the student ticket lottery, they will have admittance to the game, but will not be able to sit with you in your reserved seating. If you want your student to sit with you, you will need to purchase a ticket for them. • What if I need extra football tickets? Unfortunately, we do not have more tickets to sell, but if you contact a representative by calling 541-346-8281, they will be able to honor our group rate.
