But the US has a long way to go in general. Sac, Eug, Car are not premier stadiums nor world class destinations, and Sac & Eug are not IAAF regulation tracks. The experience, the crowd, the majesty of the USA OTs, pales in experience to the IAAF WCs, European Championships, Asian Championships.
To make it IAAF regulation, all events must be in the main stadium, no separate venue for the throws. A 2-3 meter wide apron between the outside of the track needs to encircle the entire track so that there is room for people to get around safely during the hammer throw and other events. Sac, Penn, Mt Sac, Eug, Stanford, Penn doesnt't have it. Carson, Austin does. Plus there has to be so many seats, permanet toilets, etc.
