The Ducks’ 2025 football regular season has come to an end, moving into the postseason and away from our beloved Autzen Stadium. As loyal Duck fans watch the remaining games closely, we are no longer standing in a stadium, surrounded by 60,000 cheering neon-green fans or by the smell of hot dogs and nacho cheese in the air. 

To honor how great the 2025-2026 season was, let’s highlight the food and drinks that were there for the Ducks, keeping fans full and hydrated.

The Autzen Dog

New menu items come and go, spicing up the Eugene palates with varying prices, but one hot item remains the same: the classic $4 Autzen dog. Any fan appreciates an affordable yet delicious meal. Although choosing your own condiments comes with its own price, it’s hard to go wrong. Best paired with a beverage, an Autzen dog offers peace of mind knowing you get exactly what you paid for in a chaotic football environment. 

Throw some chopped onions on there — ketchup, mustard and maybe a little relish if you’re feeling up to it. A hot dog has been, and always will be, a staple for hungry fans. It’s affordable, quick and classic, leaving room in the stomach and wallet to spend on other foods and drinks. You can’t talk about Autzen cuisine without mentioning the one who paved the way: the Autzen dog. 

6-dollar beer

This one speaks for itself. UO students come from far and wide, but one thing we all share in common is a love for a good deal. Not everyone may be a beer drinker, a financially savvy choice, but those who are might be happily surprised with beverages under $10 at Autzen. Students looking for a drink can find these cold cans at burger stands. Drink responsibly — students are not allowed to bring alcohol into the student section. 

Prince Puckler’s Ice Cream Sandwich

For those looking for a sweet treat, our very own Prince Puckler’s ice cream sandwich could do the trick. Because it never rains in Autzen Stadium, a sunny day requires a cool down, one that has a variety of flavors squished between two soft-baked cookies. If your Eugene knowledge is well-rounded, you know Prince Pucklers as the famous corner store ice cream shop on the corner of East 19th Avenue and Agate Street, serving over 40 different handmade ice cream flavours. There is no better time to sneak in a dessert when you have been screaming for three hours straight; you deserve it. 

Mo’s Clam Chowder

Now, this might come slightly out of the blue: a menu item not often discussed, and served only during the University of Wisconsin, University of Minnesota and USC games. Some might question seafood at a football game, and while those suspicions may be justified, Mo’s Seafood and Chowder doesn’t mess around. It’s a change of pace from the regular stadium nachos and burgers. When the weather takes a turn, and a Ducks jersey won’t cut it, a warm mix of bacon, clams and potatoes with a chowder base can help settle the nerves.
