EUGENE -- Only Wednesday's practice remains between Oregon football and its annual spring game on Saturday, May 3, when UO concludes its 15-practice spring session.

If you prefer watching the game from the comfort of home, the 11 a.m. kickoff will be broadcast on Pac-12 Networks. On the radio, it will be carried on KUJZ-FM (95.3) in Eugene/Springfield and KXTG-AM (750) in Portland.

For everyone else making their way to Autzen Stadium to watch football for the first time in five months, here's what to know,

How to get in:

Admission is three non-perishable food items. Donations benefit

.

How to park:

Autzen's east parking lot opens at 8:30 a.m. Cost is $5 to park per vehicle. According to the university, the private lots surrounding the stadium are expected to also be open Saturday, just as if it were any other fall game day.

How to bus to Autzen:

Free shuttles are running from South Eugene High School and Valley River Center's northwest parking lot beginning at 9 a.m. The shuttles will stop during the game but will resume after the game's end for at least 30 minutes (Note: They won't run during the UO baseball game that begins at 3 p.m.).

What time Autzen opens:

10 a.m. (an hour before kickoff), accessible through the east, south and southwest gates.

Where to sit:

General admission seating is everything except for the west end zone.

What the Ducks will be wearing:

Military-themed uniforms. The Ducks are honoring veterans and other military personnel by doing so, and will donate their jerseys afterward to about 100 men and women who comprise every branch of the military, UO says.

How to get free tickets for baseball and softball games:

The UO baseball team plays at 3 p.m. at PK Park and the No. 1 softball team plays at 4 p.m. at Howe Field on campus. If you want to see those games, a few free tickets will be distributed to those with military identification. If that's not you, head to the Autzen Stadium South Ticket building starting at 10 a.m. to buy the tickets.
