Sports history

If you follow track & field sports you already know about Hayward Field. If not then a stop here during a visit in Eugene might be a good idea. Hayward Field is one of the most important - and most historic - sports venues in the United States. Originally built as a football stadium for nearby University of Oregon is is now a track & field only stadium. In 2008 it will host the US trials for the Olympics in Beijing. Bill Bowerman, a co-founder of Nike was a track coach here; Steve Prefontaine, one of the most famous runners of all times ran some of his most memorable races here. This stadium made Eugene into "Tracktown USA". If you visit Eugene, a visit here is a must.
