Looks awesome.

Curious about the watching experience for the different events such as the throws and jumps.


It's incredible. Done well for both track and field events.

The Big screens are inredible so you can see replays and live action anywhere from most seats. They seem to show the same shots as the Peacock feed which has British announcers, not the US NBC feeds. They also show local cameras like for Duck games. They also have luxury boxes and TVs all over the place like all top notch stadiums.

Most seats are plush except the aluminum bleacher bench seats at the turns. Lot's of Oregon track heroes being highlighted starting with Bowerman and even reference in the very nice bathrooms showing bib tags in the tiles. THe concessions are called Ashton's Eatin's and English Gardens which are takeoffs two of the most famous Oregon OLympians.

Well worth Phil's $200M, considering how much he has.


Thanks for the report

Hope to get there someday for an event.


I'd love to go there sometime for the NCAA Outdoors. *
