Free Shuttles to Autzen for Spring Game
The University of Oregon will offer free shuttles for Saturday’s Spring Game to and from Autzen Stadium to help alleviate traffic surrounding the university’s Casanova Center complex.
The Ducks will hold their final intrasquad football scrimmage of the spring from 2–4 p.m. Saturday in addition to the school’s baseball team hosting Washington State in PK Park at 5 p.m.
The annual Spring Game presented by Bi-Mart culminates the Ducks’ off-season football drills, in addition to providing the backdrop for the tribute to recognize active armed forces troops and their families who are serving or have returned from duty in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The free park-and-ride system will begin operation at noon and will depart from the Lane County Fairgrounds as well as the Valley River Inn. Parking also will be free at both drop-off locations.
The shuttles will depart for Autzen Stadium approximately every 15 minutes through kickoff for the 2 p.m. start, and will continue operation for about 30 minutes following the conclusion of the Spring Game.
The Ducks’ Sports Shuttles will cease operation prior to the start of the adjacent baseball game.
Fans choosing to drive to the Spring Game are encouraged to carpool, with the Autzen Stadium east parking lot to open at 9:30 a.m. Cost of parking will be $5 per vehicle. The parking lot will be accessible through entries 4 and 5 (Leo Harris Parkway), with the west end of Leo Harris Parkway to be closed to through traffic.
The Moshofsky Center will open at 10 a.m. and will feature live music, interactive games and information tables providing an outreach for veteran service organizations and active military personnel as part of the “Support our Troops and Families” tribute.
Food and beverages will be sold in the Mo Plaza at the east end of the Ducks’ indoor facility.
In conjunction with the event, the Duck Store in the northwest corner of the Moshofsky Center will sell specially-designed t-shirts donated by Nike beginning at 10 a.m. Saturday, with all proceeds from the sales forwarded to families of deployed troops and returning veterans. In addition, a military discount of 20 percent will be offered to all past and present military personnel and their families on merchandise at the Moshofsky Center Duck Store only. (The specially-designed t-shirts and a few other items will be excluded from that discount).
Gates into Autzen Stadium will open at 1 p.m., with a donation of three non-perishable food items requested for admission. Last year, more than 22,000 pounds of food was generated for Food for Lane County from Oregon’s final spring scrimmage.
