Last season, history was made on Oct. 12, 2024, as the Oregon Ducks set an Autzen Stadium attendance record of 60,129 in the 31-31 victory over the Ohio State Buckeyes. That was the third time in the stadium's history that the crowd exceeded 60,000 (Oct. 15, 2011 vs. Arizona State Sun Devils was 60,055 and Nov. 6, 2010 vs. Washington Huskies was 60,017).

As the Ducks prepare for their second season in the Big Ten Conference, take a look at the sizes of the other members' stadiums across the conference from largest to smallest capacity. Note that these numbers don't include standing room.

Of course, Oregon has already had plenty of experiences playing against USC, UCLA, and Washington on the road during their time together in the Pac-12 Conference. During the 2024 campaign, the Ducks made Big Ten Conference regular season road trips to UCLA (34-13 win), Purdue (35-0 win), Michigan (38-17 win), and Wisconsin (16-13 win).

The 2025 away schedule will consist of road games at Northwestern on Sept. 13 on FOX at 9 a.m. PT, Penn State on Sept. 27 on NBC at 4:30 p.m. PT, Rutgers on Oct. 18 at either 3:30 p.m. PT or 4 p.m. PT, Iowa on Nov. 8 (time to be determined), and Washington on Nov. 29 (time to be determined).
