GAME GAME
DAY
DUCK GEAR (RAIN OR SHINE)
Collect your pom-poms, grab those green and yellow leggings and slap on some face stickers – it’s game day, and it’s time to represent the Ducks. There’s nothing more welcoming than walking in the gates to a sea of green and yellow, so it’s important everyone joins in.You can pick up unique, spirited duck gear of all kinds at the local Hirons or Fred Meyer for a great bargain price, or head over to the Duck Store for name-brand Duck gear! Remember: it may never rain in Autzen stadium, but juuust in case… be prepared, and carry an umbrella or a raincoat with you.
REMEMBER TO HYDRATE!
Regardless of the temperature outside, it can be a pretty tiring job standing in the student section cheering your heart out for four quarters. It’s always an option to grab a quick water from one of the many vendors inside the stadium, or you can save a few dollars and bring your own bottle! Remember to make sure they’re clear and visible, or security won’t let it through the front doors.
SUNSCREEN
Even on the cloudiest day in the stadium, it can take a tough toll on your skin to stand outside with no protection after a long afternoon. Rub some SPF 15 on vulnerable places like your nose, ears or the back of your neck to protect them from the hot sun. For the makeup wearers out there, look for foundations or moisturizers that have SPF built in to make it even easier! Remember to reapply after a few hours for maximum sun protection.
BRING A BUDDY
No one wants to go alone, and the whole day will get better when you’re surrounded by your fellow Ducklings. Bring your friends, a camera to document some sweet group selfies, and arrive early to the game to get a spot in the front—maybe you’ll make it on the big screen. It can get pretty crowded, so have a plan of where to meet if you lose each other, and make sure everyone gets back home safely. Be sure you bring your student ID to get into the student section together!
