Reser Stadium is a sports facility in Corvallis, Oregon owned and operated by Oregon State University. Its original name was Parker Stadium.
It was built in 1953 to become the permanent home for Oregon State football, and has been their home field ever since. Intramural and club sports also use the facility occasionally, most notably the field hockey and soccer programs. The stadium is located on the southwest corner of the campus, at the intersection of 26th Street and Western Boulevard in Corvallis. Its current official capacity stands at 35,362, although the Raising Reser campaign begun in 2004 seeks to increase the seating to hold 55,000 through three phases of renovation. The playing surface is AstroTurf 12/2000, installed in 1999, although a new FieldTurf surface is slated to be installed and ready for play by the beginning of the 2005 season. A JumboTron is located in the southeast corner of the stadium and supplements the scoreboards at both end zones (north and south).
The stadium alternates with Autzen Stadium at the University of Oregon in hosting the Civil War game between Oregon and Oregon State
