General Travel Information

Corvallis, Oregon, is located about 60 miles south of Portland, Oregon. It's a small college town of about 50,000 on the Willamette River. Portland International Airport is the closest major airport and teams that will be flying should fly there and then make the short mostly-interstate highway drive down to Corvallis. Eugene, Oregon, 40 miles south of Corvallis, also has a regional airport that is serviced by Horizon, America West and United commuter airlines. Flights to Eugene are generally more expensive and the transportation options from Portland are generally better, but checking into this option is sometimes worth it.
