This is bad for LRC! Site traffic will suffer because there won't be a dozen threads worth of Eugene hate during the event. I hope for the sake of your revenues that at least some of the clicks can be replaced with whining about heat, humidity, NYC hotel prices, and the aroma of urine.

It's about damn time you track tourists went somewhere else. You have no idea how weird it is to have you barging in every summer, telling us we are the track capital of the country. We don't want to be the track capital, even those of us who run track. That's just one of Uncle Phil's narcissist delusions

Think Eugene is expensive?
This will be the least attended USA Champs, for both fans and athletes in many, many years due to the location and there not being Worlds or Olympics.
Not enough parking, traffic nightmares, bridge tolls, rude Uber drivers, outrageous rental car prices, aggressive homeless unlike Eugene's chill homeless, astronomical hotel prices, enough smog to choke a horse.
Let the finding out begin.

I found out about the hotel prices lol. Holy moly. But its cheaper than going to Maine for the weekend at that time of year - by far. Actually anywhere in coastal New England in the summer makes the NYC hotel prices look not too bad. Try getting a hotel for Beach to Beacon or Falmouth lol. People were posting that Eugene hotel prices were $300+ a night for like motel 6, so.. You can probably find a hostel if you're really trying to save a buck?

I'm not sure why anyone would want to drive, use uber, or rent a car in NYC. The subway goes just about everywhere. Maybe there is a little bit of Queens and Staten Island where the walk to a subway station is far? But are people from outside NYC really going to those places for tourism?

All this car stuff from, not just you, but others on this thread too seems crazy to me. It seems wild to want to drive into or even in Manhattan. If I was driving, I'd park at a hotel outside the city or maybe the Bronx and then take the subway.

re: rojo

Hopefully, the inclusion of CPTC and NYRR will get the road running community involved. It is huge in NYC. If the NYRR adds the USAs as an option for volunteering (the +1 of the 9+1 path to the NYCM), they will get hundreds of people wanting to volunteer.

Road races in Manhattan fill up quickly, with thousands of entrants. Somehow, we need to tap into this market and turn some into track fans too. Between CPTC and NYRR, maybe they come up with a unique idea to entice people to attend.

I've been to many of the Continental tours over the last few years, it is so disappointing that Icahn cannot be sold out.

To sleep in Eugene you just have to lay down on the sidewalk. Everyone will act like you are not there. Nobody will bother you

A really windy track in the middle of nowhere with homeless camps all around the stadium. Think I’ll skip it

You must not have been to Randall's Island since the 1990's. The Island is beautiful with miles of manicured running paths along the water, public programming and like 60 sports fields. They will do an amazing job, and it will change Track and Field in the United States!

re: not that great

Let's see in the past 20 years they had a world record in the 100 and the 5000 - but year its not fast. It's actually really easy to get too. Hell of a lot easier than Eugene and Hayward (40 minutes to get a uber to go 3 miles).

With all the great places in the east coast to hold this meet, such as Franklin Field, they chose Icahn Stadium! Give me a break! No parking, very limited seating, in the middle of nowhere, ..... This is exactly why our beautiful sport does not grow here in the USA. I can name 20+ track stadiums in the east coast that would be a much better place to hold this meet.

You do know that Penn is not a certified track and cannot host a major championship, right? Parking is fine and they will add seating - maybe the "other 20" venues should give a damn and bid for a meet. You sound bitter...

There are plenty of hotels in a 20-minute radius between $120-$180.
