University of Oregon rolls out a space-age design for a new Hayward Field

EUGENE - The University of Oregon rolled out renderings of the Hayward Field renovation on Tuesday in a staged event on the northwest corner of Hayward's track.

The new stadium as presented will have a space-age appearance, and every bell and whistle a track coach could want.

"It's above and beyond all the expectations we could ever have had," UO coach Robert Johnson said.

The new stadium is expected cost more than $200 million, all privately raised from some 50 donors. Lead donors are Nike co-founded Phil Knight and his wife, Penny.
