PORTLAND — Oregon state troopers are bracing for a rowdy Saturday with a warning for Ducks and Beavers fans: Keep it civil.
Oregon State and Oregon meet Saturday in the annual Civil War football game, which this year is for even higher stakes. If they win, the Beavers go to the Rose Bowl.
Troopers say local officers and state highway officials have a game plan for highway incidents, dangerous drivers and problems at Reser Stadium.
They say extra patrol troopers will step up enforcement on Interstate 5 and roads leading to Corvallis.
Police Superintendent Timothy McLain has five pieces of advice for fans: “Leave early, be patient, keep your emotions in check, buckle up and keep a sober driver behind the wheel at all times.”
