Hayward Field renovation pushed back again, 2019 Pre Classic, NCAA Championships at risk

The planned renovation to Hayward Field has been delayed again, according to multiple sources.

The project now is expected to begin next summer -- two years after the start date on the original timeline.

Sources say the renovation is expected to take more than a year and not be complete until some point in 2020.

The stadium is expected to be closed during renovation, which sources say could force the 2019 Prefontaine Classic, the 2019 NCAA Outdoor Championships and the 2019 OSAA Track & Field Championships to relocate.

If the latest timeline holds, the Oregon Ducks would not have a home schedule in 2019, and probably be forced to practice elsewhere.
