Reser Stadium, American football stadium in Corvallis, Oregon, US
Reser Stadium is Oregon State University's outdoor American football stadium in Corvallis, Oregon, with a FieldTurf field running northwest to southeast at about 240 feet above sea level. Its seating capacity is 35,548 following the 2023 southwest grandstand renovation, and the press box sits above the southwest sideline.
The facility opened in 1953 as Parker Stadium and became Reser Stadium in 1999 after a major donation from Al and Pat Reser. Multiple renovations over the decades expanded and improved the structure to serve the university's needs.
In the Reser's Terrace section stands an oversized chainsaw, an in-venue piece that goes down well in front of a home crowd. In the north end zone, the Valley Football Center displays Terry Baker's retired number 11, with "AL" opposite it for donor Al Reser. A large statue in the southwest end zone corner, placed in 2003, commemorates the 1933 'Iron Men' team.
The stadium sits at the southwest corner of the Oregon State campus, at SW 26th Street and SW Western Boulevard. The playing field runs northwest to southeast, with the press box above the southwest sideline grandstand. Pregame activity gathers at Parker Plaza, between Reser and Gill Coliseum.
The stadium is the tallest man-made structure in Corvallis and Benton County history, rising 135 ft (41 m) over the campus at the corner of SW 26th Street and SW Western Boulevard. It is the tallest building between Eugene and the Salem metropolitan area.
