Well done Phil!
Well done Phil!
Gotta say it looks awesome.
Regardless of how historic the old grandstand was -- sometimes newer is better.
10/10 !
LRC Note. We merged two threads on the new stadium into one. The other one was called, "WOW ! New Hayward Field , same feel! Awesome job Oregon by keeping many things incorporated !"
those ratty apartments near the start of the 100/110 HH ? major Eugene eye sore
Those are dorm rooms
Anyone besides me shocked that despite 200_+ million, they don't have pacing lights on the rail?
At 2:30 Galen says "it has everything you could want as an athlete".
Does it have an Infusion Room?
If you set a record in the 110m hurdles in the covered area, is that an indoor or outdoor record?
It’s good to see the rich doing good for the poor and the homeless in Portland and Eugene and not just spending their $100m’s on excessive sports facilities
Alla you who complained about the termite-infested, splinter-ridden, hard as f@ck East grandstand being torn down -- and you know who you are -- stay the f away. Don't be hypocrites.
Have they lit the giant olympics torch yet?
There were dozens of screaming fans at the inaugural meet yesterday. For most events there will probably be at least several hundred! Do they have to light the torch only for the really big meet with 20,000 fans, coaches, officials and family members? Assuming that one really big meet actually happens.
I think instead they should light that torch for EVERY meet. You built the damn thing, fire it up.
Now, only if they could figure out what to do with all the riffraff, homeless hippies, bike thieves, meth-heads, and lefty commie professors in Eugene.

Agreed, Baddie
A few hundred mil and it doesn't seem complete. It goes a little less than 80% of the way around. There's a huge gaping missing section. One end is just open!
