CORVALLIS, Ore. - Fans attending this Saturday’s Pac-10 Conference home opener at Reser Stadium will notice a new gate configuration at the northwest corner of the facility.

Formerly identified as gates 9-11 in that area, it will now be named Gate D. Gate D will appear on all tickets from this point on.

The new configuration will feature three search gates and two express gates. Fans will now access these gates from the plaza area in front of the Valley Football Center.

“We’re making the change mainly for two reasons,” John Cheney, assistant athletic director for facilities, said. “Previously fans were lining up in the drive-lane and that we considered a safety concern. Secondly, the old configuration did not allow for efficient flow of fans to the gates.”

The new gates will also improve the exterior appearance of the stadium in that area.

Kickoff for this Saturday’s nationally televised game vs. the UCLA Bruins will be at 3:41 p.m.
