Xfinity blackout: Fans rush resale seats at Autzen
AUG. 31 Oregon-Idaho fan guide: GREEN+YELLOW Autzen stripeout
PORTLAND, Ore. — It’s been reported this week that viewers in the Northwest will potentially be subject to a Comcast Xfinity regional blackout of the Aug. 31 Oregon-Idaho game scheduled for broadcast on Big Ten Network.
Oregon-Idaho viewers have two great workarounds for the Comcast Xfinity regional blackout:
Streaming services like SlingTV carry the Big Ten Network and most other B1G broadcasters — With services like SlingTV, no Comcast Xfinity is required.
Even better, those attending in-person at Autzen can enjoy Oregon home games unaffected by broadcaster blackouts.
(Disclosures: This mention of SlingTV is purely anecdotal. The team are SlingTV customers but have no business relationship with SlingTV, and have no affiliation whatsoever to Comcast.)
Oregon Athletics reports UO-Idaho seats are sold-out, fans rush ticket resellers:
Reports of the Comcast Xfinity regional blackout and Oregon Athletics announcing seats are sold-out for the Aug. 31 Oregon-Idaho game reportedly sent many fans scrambling this week to ticket reseller services.
If you still need seats at Autzen, resale tickets are always available through our friends at VividSeats.

2. Beat the heat
August games at Autzen can be sweatier than jalapeños in a sauna.
Dri-FIT fabric can be a lifesaver on a beastly hot day. Light layers are your friend as postgame temps drop after a warm day.
Our friends at Fanatics carry Oregon-licensed fan gear for any Autzen weather in most Oregon team colors.
3. Protect your head
It’s been said “it never rains at Autzen Stadium” — but August football can mean hours in the afternoon sun. Consider wearing a hat, color-matched to your section of the Autzen stripe-out.
4. Shortest path to comfort
Fully enjoying an August afternoon at Autzen means mastering a balance of comfort and style. Dri-FIT shorts can be just the thing — lightweight, and breathable, and you’ll find plenty of officially licensed hot-weather shorts in most of Oregon’s team colors.
5. Mind your feet
Choose shoes comfortable for walking, standing, and the weather. You can even flash Oregon team spirit on your feet if you like.
Once you find the stripe-out styles that work best for you, enjoy gameday at Autzen with Oregon pride and comfort.
