Introduction

Welcome to my blog site! My name is Noah, and I’m a freshman at the University of Oregon.

Autzen Stadium is an outdoor football stadium in the northwest United States, in Eugene, Oregon. Located north of the University of Oregon campus, it is the home field of the Oregon Ducks of the Pacific-12 Conference. Opened 48Êyears ago in 1967, the stadium has undergone several expansions. The official capacity is 54,000, although attendance is routinely around 59,000 and has exceeded capacity for every game since the most recent expansion in 2002.

As a naturally late sleeper, and someone who has only started to learn good time management recently, I am always rushing to get to class on time, while still grabbing a bite to eat on the way. However, with campus having over 8,000 students at one time, crowds can sometimes get in my way. With my project titled DuckSpotting: Tracking Tracktown’s Flow of Students, I wanted to give students like me an accurate visual depiction of which pats of campus, including walkways and cafeterias are busiest at different time throughout the day. With this project, I want to enlighten the University of Oregon community by showing the walking, biking, and driving patterns that people show on campus, in order to make walking from A to B more accessible and convenient.
