Reser Stadium is an outdoor athletic stadium in the northwest United States, on the campus of Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon. The home of the Oregon State Beavers of the Pac-12 Conference, it opened in 1953 as Parker Stadium and was renamed in 1999.[9][10]
Renovations for a new southwest grandstand decreased the seating capacity to 35,548 starting with the 2023 season.[11] The FieldTurf playing field runs northwest to southeast, at an approximate elevation of 240 feet (73 m) above sea level,[12] with the press box above the grandstand on the southwest sideline.
