Today, the University of Oregon unveiled plans for the new Hayward Field, which will be ready to host the 2021 IAAF World Outdoor Championships in 2021. The designs are jaw-dropping, to say the least.
The stadium, which will be ready in 2020, will have a capacity of 12,900 fans which will be expandable to almost 30,000. The current capacity is 10,500, with an expandable capacity of 21,000.
The project is 100 percent funded by private donors, led by, you guessed it, Phil and Penny Knight. There are also contributions from over 50 other donors to cover the cost of the stadium.
