Can someone name some college 440 yard tracks besides KU's Memorial Stadium track? Are there many, and do they have any effect on times based on shape of the turns, or is that not an issue?

6/10. Could bring in all kinds of classic lrc track measurement and shape issues, plus jokes about 'full miles' and maybe even 'how far is it around in lane 2'
and special points for 'things only distance runners could possibly care about' and the opportunity for people to make completely unprovable assertions.
but in the end, not quite interesting enough

You mean after ignoring the fact the length of the track and the shape of the turns don't have a lot to do with each other?
Maybe a better worded question would be: Can someone name some college tracks that are going around tennis courts instead of a practice football field? Are there many, and do they have any effect on times based on shape of the turns, or is that not an issue? How about when they don't have the field events inside the track?
De Anza Community College in Cupertino, CA. 9 lanes, but had moss growing on it in places the last time I ran there.
I believe Baylor University's track is in yards still.
Wow, tough crowd, buncha little miss know-it-alls. Thanks for 2 answers at least.
The Harvard indoor track is a banked 220yd facility. Makes calling the DMR interesting ("running the 1320 leg for team x . . . .").
my high school rival is in yards. and dirt. gold school. Casa Grande High School is the name of it.
A resource for CA and NV tracks:
Most any high school track.
