EUGENE – The University of Oregon has unveiled futuristic renderings of their plans for a complete overhaul of their track and field facilities at Hayward Field. The new venue is slated to open in 2020.

The new Hayward will include world-class training and competition facilities for student-athletes, and incorporate new laboratories and research facilities to better understand the potential of human performance. The renovation will increase the seating by 2,400 at minimum and the grand stands could be expanded to fit a maximum of 30,000.

Hayward Field opened on the University of Oregon campus in 1919. Construction will start June of this year.
