The football program has been a part of Oregon State University since 1893, working as a platform for over a hundred players to enter the NFL, such as Heisman Trophy winner Terry Baker and current Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco and Seattle Seahawks wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh. They have won their conference championship five times.
The primary rival of the Beavers are the Oregon Ducks of the University of Oregon. The football rivalry between the Beavers and Ducks, known as the Civil War, is one of the longest-running in the country, having been contested 112 times as of the end of the 2008 season.
Reesers stadium opened in 1953 and was originally known as Parker Stadium, named after Portland businessman Charles T. Parker. Parker played a major financial role in the construction of the stadium, which was funded entirely by donations. The Parker name is now associated with the plaza located between Reser Stadium and Gill Coliseum. Parker Plaza is the site where most of the pregame activities are held. The stadium was renamed in June of 1999 honoring Al and Pat Reser, who made a long term seven figure gift to the athletic department.
