Hayward Field

There are no words to describe the experience of watching your child compete on this stage. This field is unbelievable.

The entrance is breathtaking and overwhelming. You know you are stepping onto the place where greatness has happened and could happen again.

The facilities are decorated to perfection. Even the duck murals in the restrooms are breathtaking.

The seats are the most comfortable of any stadium, cushioned and adequately spaced.

It was a dream come true to be invited here and watch great athletes.

Pretty cool visitor center with tons of info on the history of Oregon track and field

Here for youth track and field

Pros: this campus is beautiful! The facility is top notch and well kept. There are multiple screens so that you can see from every angle. The seats were spacious and super comfy.

Cons: none

This is definitely an upgrade from what the old Hayward Field used to be. I went to the 2023 Toyota USATF Outdoor Championships. It was my first time ever to go to one of these and it was so amazing to see in person how fast these athletes can run.

Absolutely stunning athletic venue! As someone who's never watched or been interested in track and field before living in Eugene, I can tell you that it's worth your while to check this place out.

Even if there isn't an event to see, I'd highly recommend walking through Hayward Hall, a museum explaining the history of Hayward Field and why Eugene is "TrackTown USA." (You can find the entrance to the museum near the base of the silver tower.)

A classic location if there ever was one for those who follow the track & field scene. Even if you don't follow, there's much to celebrate at Hayward.

The historic wooden stands created an impressive visual, but the magic really happens between the lines. All good things must apparently get renewed I guess. With the "reimagine" it'll certainly be more space-age, but the old location will always live in our hearts.

Locals probably are numb to how cool it is to watch something on ESPN and then drive 10 mins to finish watching it live. That isn't lost on us, and thinking of the many world champions who've passed though in a century makes the new field bittersweet.

Come see some world-class competition at Hayward. At least now there are more seats.

Hayward Field did not disappoint! I enjoyed watching the World Championships here. We had tickets it what seemed to be a section added just for this event because I couldn't find it on the seating map prior to arriving. The seats were good. I still felt like I was apart of the event! The bathrooms were spacious and clean considering the number of people there.

As someone who ran professionally for years, I never understood the hype about this place. Easily the biggest dump in the pac 12 if not all of NCAA. It's a sad excuse of a track.

Hayward Field is on the University if Oregon campus in Eugene, OR. This is where they hold the NCAA track and field championships. How lucky it is that they are hosted here so Oregonians don't have to travel very far to attend.

If you have never had a chance to attend this and enjoy track and field....check it out. It's not only fun but the enthusiasm is exhilarating.

The field is very well kept, green and beautiful. It is gated with beautiful iron gates so that when the fields not in use for events the campus goers are the only ones to use it for the most part.

There is word that the U of O is adding more bleacher space as well since that seems to be one if the biggest issues with attending events here.

2016-7

take sunscreen and an umbrella. What appears to be roof covering is actually fairly minimal. The "new one" may be glitzy, but the old one was better, and more appropriately sized for a relatively small city. ...and most Oregonians could not care less about track, contrary to prevalent false advertising. Also...be prepared to be gouged by local hotels.
