I see zero disrespect in his comments.
Bolt is just saying what everybody knows - Eugene is a backwater. Without Nike and the University history (Pre) it would be the last place anyone would go for just about anything.
Tracktown America needs to be moved elsewhere for the sake of the sport. At least indoors Boston is a major city accessible from pretty well anywhere.
Let's start by moving NCAA D1 T&F Championships back to Chicago.
Let's move USAs to Chicago.
Chicago is used to large sport contest. Chicago does a good job. Two international airports with Milwaukee 100 minutes away. Plenty of restaurants. Plenty of hotels.
Wouldn’t Kiev or Kabul be safer?
Did you see Eugene for the 2-3 meets last year? Diamond league and trials empty stadiums. Eugene sucks. It has history but it sucks. No places to stay no airport and no fans anymore. Time to move on
I hear soldier field may be looking for a new tenant. Now, to fine a couple of billionaires to finance this…
Turn FoxNews off. Law enforcement make sure patrons at all college and professional sport events are safe. Get back to me when you have something to report about a sport event in Chicago at a college or professional team.
Wow, track is more popular in Europe. Such a controversial statement.
Handball is popular in Europe. Netball is popular in Europe. Europe's sporting tastes are weird.
If they had more American sports, they wouldn't watch track either, or handball.
Really the fundamental difference between Euro and American sports is they have big local clubs that make teams, instead of a college system. NCAA sucks the life out of track or it would be bigger here.
How about Philly ? They would have filled Franklin Field for The Worlds' last year.
Hayward field is a great place to watch track! Eugene is a very nice city, great food! I would hope that all big meets are at Hayward field! I live 2 & 1/2 hours away!
You clearly have never actually been to Chicago. Enjoy your Newsmax!

Europe is home to the best sport in the world: football. Track is still more popular in EU than it is in US despite the USA having lame ass sports like Eggball, Basketball, Baseball
Ticket prices were a major factor in fans not showing up. Cut the price in half and double the fans.
Fining billionaires, always a great revenue generator. Mark Cuban's fines cover whole cost of WNBA.
