How to maximize your Autzen Stadium experience By Brady Ruth Sports Editor
As students are welcomed back to campus, Autzen Stadium’s student section eagerly awaits its next home game and the chance to be filled with the pure passion and energy that students are known to bring. Whether this will be your first season attending UO games or if you’re returning for another action-packed season, here’s some tips on how to make your gameday experience as good as it should be.

On Sept. 26, the Class of 2028 arrived at the University of Oregon campus to move into the dorms that they will live in for the upcoming school year. Move-in day at UO guides upcoming freshman to get familiar with the campus and adjust to their new living situation. “Unpack the Quack” assists with student moving teams. These assistants help new students move items into boxes and help freshmen navigate the different residence halls and what they offer. Following move-in day, UO holds its “Week of Welcome,” which holds various activities specifically for new students and shows them what UO is about and showcases the amenities and opportunities that it has to offer.
