Autzen to Host "Grateful Ducks" Game Oct. 25
07/30/25 | Football
Oregon's football game against Wisconsin will be a "tie-dye out" in the stands of Autzen Stadium.
EUGENE, Ore. — The sounds of the Grateful Dead echoed throughout Autzen Stadium a total of 10 times between 1974 and 1994, recapitulated in 2018 by the current incarnation of the iconic jam band, Dead & Company.
This October, those spirits will awaken. The UO football program's matchup with Wisconsin on Oct. 25 will call for a "tie-dye out" of the stadium by fans, as the university introduces a first-of-its-kind "Grateful Ducks" game at Autzen.
The Grateful Dead community is in the midst of celebrating the band's 60th anniversary, including with a three-night run by Dead & Company in the band's hometown of San Francisco this weekend. We look forward to celebrating this anniversary at the UO football game against the Badgers in October.
In all, the Dead played on campus at the University of Oregon more than 20 times. The great music and good vibes from those shows will be rekindled on Oct. 25, with sights and sounds inspired by the Grateful Dead blending with the pageantry of an Autzen Stadium football Saturday for all the "Grateful Ducks" in attendance.
"Grate" seats for the game are available while supplies last via GoDucks.com/FBTix. Co-branded merchandise featuring the Ducks and the Dead will be available for pre-order soon at The Duck Store, before arriving in stores at a later date.
Class Trip, which has previously produced merchandise merging the Dead and the Ducks, has produced a fresh line of tie-dye apparel for the occasion. The iconic dancing bears and "steal your face" logo of the band and the unmistakable mirth of The Duck will join forces for this first-of-its-kind collaboration available at the Duck Store
More information regarding gameday and experiences for fans will be made available as we approach gameday.
