They should have included the old stands or at least the old shape in the new design. Simple enough to do it.

So what you're saying is they still don't have a clue what the finished stadium will look like? Got it.

Not having more covered seating is incredibly stupid.

They should have built a dome over the whole thing. I think you just need a 10 meter opening in the center.

They still could add more covered seating. It's clear they don't have a design finalized yet and only are pumping out renderings.
Meanwhile, the clock is ticking and Worlds is less than 3 years away. How long does it take to build a stadium? I wouldn't be surprised if a raised track in Autzen ends being the final solution. -
I still fail to figure out the math with respect to the latest pics.
If the pic is the "normal" stadium configuration that will seat 12,500 then maybe it will be OK regular (non world champ) meets. However, if this is the case and given the pictures where do you put the other 17,500 people? The pics have 80% with what appears to be permanent seating (the exception being the north end). This would leave the north end available for temporary seats to be added but how can you fit 17,500 seats in that area, particularly when it looks like they have some permanent seats close to the track.
I don't know who it is or why but no one wants to provide the math and layout for how this all will look with 12,500 seats and 30,000 seats. Why not? The ship has sailed in terms of demolition and the concept/general design of the new track. -

That's because I don't think they actually know the answer to these questions. All they have are about a half dozen renderings. Architectural plans, engineering plans, etc., where are those?
I look at some 10,000 or so capacity stadiums in my area, and Hayward Field in these renderings looks like 15,000 to 20,000. These renderings look like somewhere between 12,500 and 30,000. If that is a 12,500 rendering, a 30,000 temporary expansion would look ridiculous.
And not having covered seats for the whole permanent stadium is just plain stupid. -

That roof barely covers any seats. Did Nike cut a deal with God for no rain on meet days?
Must have also cut a deal for no sun either, since the roof is transparent. -

The EFTE membrane material can be designed so no UV - no sunburn. -

While the local government of Eugene has been extremely inviting to the trash you speak of, I have not witnessed any of the activities you mentioned around the stadium in the past. They all seem to coagulate around the river and surrounding recreational trails and wooded areas. Go get them please.

Some of the Nike money should go to a Beautify Eugene campaign. Priorities should include the following:
1: Ship all the local riff-raff out of the city.
2: Institute mandatory baths and hygiene inspections of locals and students.
3: Outlaw tattoos and public swearing.
4: Ban all hemp products.
5: Abolish all local government and appoint private ( Austrian) company to manage city services.
6: Life size statues of King Ches, Pre, and Jenna Prandini should be on every street corner.
7: Allow Trump corporation to build a new hotel in downtown.

Agree to all points, except Austrians should be forced to speak English instead of Austrian. Deal? -
Any hippies taken into custody, for any reason, should be provided a haircut and should be given a "power shower".
