Most places don't have to deal with 9.5-11 months of shit weather every year like dank and nasty Eugene, Oregon, so this is crapola weather is kind of a big bummer for most o us in May.

The stadium doesn't even seem that big either. Anyone know the capacity of it?

That's what I thought at first but before the first commerical they showed a head on shot of the finish stands and it looked almost full.

Nowhere near.

lol, Eugene weather is almost that bad, but you are exaggerating by far.

Brenda Martinez looked good getting 3rd in the 15.

Sanya Richards Ross will be a DNS in the 400. They said she's already left the stadium. Anyone know why?

Props to Reid for Blocking the wind for 3 laps!

and still hanging in there....

How is this a diamond league meet? No stadium, no crowd, no atmosphere. Just aswell the footie starts in an hour!

Aggravated her healing toe.

worst facility of any diamond league meet by far

It's windy as hell people.

Post race interviews with Uceny and Grace uploading to youtube. Uceny was pleased and did what she wanted today - 4:08. She says she knows she can get in real good shape quickly from this point.

It's freezing and a holiday weekend. You do the math.

Reid eased up a bit, looked like she wanted some help, but no one was willing, so the pace just slowed.

Ney York + Diamond League = Failure. And its maths not math!

Yeah, does Reid need an A, or is she through to World's as Canada's only rep?

There are 5,000 seats plus some standing areas, I think.

At $75 a seat you're not going to get many families.

She went to the wrong place if she left a 'stadium'

Is it seriously 75 a seat? Why? That is steep.
