There is currently no indoor facility in the state of Oregon. A couple years ago when we hosted the world indoor championships we had the house of track and then the track was moved to the convention center for the world championships. The track was then sold to the University of Iowa. My question is why did the University of Oregon not purchase the track and place it in Mac Court?
As far as I know, nobody is using the old basketball arena for anything. The basketball and volleyball teams moved out of there and into Matthew Knight Arena in 2011. Imagine having track meets at Mac Court! Having USAs and NCAAs, big pro meets and other collegiate competitions there would have been amazing!
Is this something that can still be done? There's a structure already in place, all you would have to do is remove the lower level of the bleachers and it would be able to fit a 200m track.
Bring Indoor Track to Oregon!
