The rivalry game that defines the season
When Washington comes to Eugene, everything else on the calendar becomes a warm-up. This is the matchup Ducks fans circle in July and argue about all year — decades of grudges, marquee stakes, and an Autzen Stadium that turns deafening the second the Huskies take the field. Playing it on the Friday of Thanksgiving weekend only cranks the intensity higher. QuackTrips exists to get you into that noise fully charged instead of frazzled from four hours of traffic.
We run a single, dedicated round-trip motorcoach from the Portland metro straight to the stadium gates and back the same night. No hotel math, no designated-driver debate, no wondering where you left the car in a dark lot. You show up at your pickup, we handle the rest.

Two Portland-area pickup routes
Board at whichever side of the metro is closest to you, and roll south with a busload of Ducks faithful:
- The Wing — Westside/Downtown: convenient for central Portland, Beaverton, and the western suburbs.
- The Bill — Southside/Eastside: built for riders coming from Southeast, Clackamas, and the east metro.
Both routes converge on Autzen with plenty of margin before the gates open, and both head back north together after the game.
What every seat includes
- Premium motorcoach with reclining seats and climate control
- Bottled water and an artisanal snack box waiting at your seat
- Onboard restroom for the ride each way
- TVs and entertainment to keep the pregame buzz going
- Dedicated game-day staff to keep boarding and departure smooth
- Optional sandwich box add-on if you want a full meal on the road
Timing built around the whistle
We aim to reach Autzen roughly 90 minutes before kickoff so you have time for the walk-up, the tailgate air, and a slow lap of the concourse. After the final whistle we pull out about 30 minutes later — enough to soak in a win (or beat the exit crush after a loss). Because kickoff is still time to be announced, your exact pickup and departure times land on the digital pass every rider receives once the network sets the slot. Watch your inbox as the date nears.
Late-November weather, handled
Thanksgiving-weekend football in the Willamette Valley can mean cold, damp, and dark by the drive home. That is exactly when nobody wants to white-knuckle a rain-slicked I-5 at night. On the bus you stay warm and dry, someone else watches the road, and the postgame replay happens on the TVs instead of in your rearview mirror.
Why the bus beats driving yourself
Autzen parking near the stadium is scarce, pricey, and painfully slow to clear once 50,000 people head for the same exits. Add holiday-weekend traffic on I-5 and a self-drive turns a great night into a four-hour chore bookending the game. Our coach drops you close, leaves together, and lets everyone actually celebrate the rivalry instead of navigating it.
Book early — this one sells out first
Of every game we run, the Washington rivalry is the fastest to fill. Highest demand, limited seats, and a fan base that has waited all year — the math is not subtle. Reserve now while both pickup routes still have room, secure your $129 seat, and lock your spot before the wait-list forms. Booking takes a minute: choose your route, confirm your seat, and your digital pass follows with the final times once kickoff is set.
