Matthew Knight Arena
Eugene, OR · Arena
Matthew Knight Arena, home of the Oregon Ducks in Eugene, runs a clear bag policy. You can bring one clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag no bigger than 12 by 6 by 12 inches, or a single one-gallon freezer bag, plus a small clutch up to 4.5 by 6.5 inches that does not have to be clear.
Backpacks, diaper bags, fanny packs, and any non-clear bag larger than a clutch all stay home. Metal bottles and cans, glass, and thermos-type containers are out too. There is no bag check, so a non-approved bag has to go back to the car. The arena anchors the University of Oregon campus near Autzen Stadium.
