Autzen Stadium weather FAQs

Yes. Eugene's wet season runs through the fall, and rainy home games are common. Rain is usually light-to-moderate and persistent rather than brief downpours.

It can be chilly and damp, but extreme cold is rare. The bigger factor is usually rain and wet conditions rather than freezing temperatures.

The Willamette Valley can channel wind along its north-south axis. Our research found wind alone does not reliably move college football scoring, so we describe conditions rather than claiming an edge.

About this page

Autzen Stadium weather is updated live and produces a game-time forecast read for every home game. The page uses one permanent URL for the venue; match-up details rotate as the schedule changes, so search results always point to current conditions. Our own study of 4,330 college football games found wind alone showed no material scoring deviation, so we keep these reads descriptive — conditions and context, not exaggerated edge claims.

What the research says

The published studies behind the read on this page at Autzen Stadium. Every figure is season-adjusted, with sample sizes and t-statistics shown.

College Football Domes vs the Market
Indoor college football games finished 0.4 points below the closing total (102 Overs, 139 Unders, n=244, t=-0.45): statistically flat, unlike the NFL's +2.2. Campus domes were +0.2 (t=0.19).
7,182 college football games 2016–2025; 246 indoor, 244 with closing totals
Windiest College Football Stadiums
Huskie Stadium (Northern Illinois) is the windiest FBS venue at 10.7 mph average kickoff wind across 54 games since 2016, with 16.7% of games at 15+ mph; BYU's LaVell Edwards Stadium is the calmest at 3.4 mph. Wind lowers scoring: 15-20 mph games scored -4.0 points vs calm (t=-3.34).
7,249 outdoor games at 122 venues, 2016-2025; 114 venues ranked with 40+ games
Highest-Elevation College Football Stadiums
Wyoming's War Memorial Stadium is the highest FBS venue at 7,205 feet, with Air Force's Falcon Stadium second at 6,726; nine college venues sit higher than Denver's Mile High. At 5,000 feet air is about 15% thinner, so kicks carry further and evenings cool about 3.5°F per 1,000 feet.

Coldest College Football Stadiums
Minnesota's Huntington Bank Stadium is the coldest FBS venue (54.9°F avg kickoff, 66 games). Freezing games (<=32°F) score 6.2 points less than mild games (Welch t=-3.85, p=0.0002) but finish only 0.9 points under the closing total.

How Rain Affects College Football Games
Across 7,072 outdoor FBS games since 2016, light rain changed scoring by half a point; heavy rain (2.5 mm+) cut about 5.1 points (71 games, t=-2.81).

College Football Wind, Scoring & Kicking
Wind lowers college scoring: 10-15 mph costs 1.3 points (t=-2.28) and 15-20 mph costs 4.0 points (t=-3.34), season-adjusted against a calm control. Strong-wind games lean under at 55.6%, a marginal edge that does not clear our confidence threshold.

College Football Heat & Humidity Shock
Do cool-climate teams underperform when they travel into hot, humid Southern venues in August and September? Graded against closing lines, with control games alongside.

College Football Extreme Heat & Totals
A widely repeated claim says non-conference games go Over about 59% of the time at 85–106°F. Our data: 52.8% against a 49.1% control — no meaningful edge.
Ten seasons of kickoff-hour temperatures graded against closing totals
College Football Rain & Totals
Light rain does nothing to college football scoring, but games with 2.5 mm or more of game-window rain score about 5 points below dry games and finish roughly 4 points under the closing total. The working explanation is that totals move too slowly once a reliable heavy-rain forecast firms up, not that the market ignores rain.
About 7,070 outdoor games with closing totals, 2016–2025 (960 wet, 71 heavy)
College Football Temperature & Scoring
Below freezing, dry outdoor college games score 5.2 points fewer than mild-weather games (t = -3.08). Merely cold, 32-49F, is worth nothing (-0.8, t = -1.19). Heat adds a little: 85F and above is +1.8 points (t = 2.40), with an overall gradient of about +0.6 points per 10F. No temperature band beats the closing total.
6,593 dry outdoor games with closing totals, 2016-2025, season-adjusted against a 50-69F control
Hottest College Football Stadiums
Arizona State's Mountain America Stadium is the hottest FBS venue at 85.5°F average kickoff temperature — nearly 6°F clear of second place. Games at 95°F+ average 59.5 points vs 55.6 in mild weather: heat does not suppress scoring (not significant, p ≈ 0.11), and the market prices it roughly right (+1.6 vs closing total, p ≈ 0.46).
7,249 outdoor regular-season FBS games (2016–2025); 117 venues with 40+ games; 60 games at 95°F+
