University of Oregon associate athletic director Vin Lananna said Wednesday Hayward Field will take a one-year, renovation hiatus in 2019, but should be back in business by the 2020 outdoor season.
By closing its iconic track stadium for all of 2019, Oregon voided a three-contract with the NCAA to host the NCAA Outdoor Championships in 2019, 2020 and 2021.
The NCAA will bid out the NCAA Outdoor Championships in 2019 and 2020.
"We will re-bid to host the 2020 NCAA Championships on what we believe will be the most innovative, first-class track facility," Lananna said.
The site for the 2021 NCAA Outdoor Championships will be decided at another time, Lananna said.
