Family's First Trip to Autzen Stadium!!!

...and it was a BLAST!  We had so much fun!  We did the very Oregonian thing and didn't let a little rain stop us from watching the Ducks play some football!

Here in Eugene people are hardcore about their Duck Football..Kind of reminded me of being in Texas!

Tony won the tickets at work so we were able to justify spending money on Duck gear so we didn't look out of place!

We took the shuttle from the Mall to the stadium which I must say was BRILLIANT.  It cost $5 a person (or $18 for a season pass) and it was so easy.  We just parked at the mall and waited just a couple minutes before we boarded the bus.  It took us maybe 10 minutes to get to the stadium.  And they dropped us off right in front.  So easy!  So much better then spending $20 for a spot SOMEWHAT close to the stadium..I can only imagine how they fought their way in and out.

The crowds really weren't that bad..I even fought the halftime crowd but no one was rude, pushing their way through etc.  It did take me all of halftime to go to the bathroom and get a couple of snacks..I stood in 3 lines and it didn't feel like it took that long.  The Ducks were up like 69 to nothing so we decided to leave right at the beginning of the 4th quarter so I could get Zoe all changed and in some dry clothes before we left.  And it ended up working out well..We walked out to catch the shuttle back and stood in line MAYBE 5 minutes.  The shuttles left in 2's so we caught the second set of shuttles back.

We had loads of fun.  Even in the rain!  And despite all the rain and loud noise, Zoe managed to take a nap!  So here are some pictures of our fun day at AUTZEN STADIUM!!
