The timeline for the renovation of historic Hayward Field has been adjusted to accommodate planning that has taken longer than anticipated.
While the relocation of a cellphone tower will move forward this month, updates to the east grandstand will now begin in June 2017 rather than this fall as first announced.
“With a project of this scale and turnaround time from start to finish, we wanted to make sure our plans were not only worthy of this global icon of track and field but also limited disruptions to scheduled events and the UO track and field team,” said Paul Weinhold, president and CEO of the University of Oregon Foundation, the entity overseeing the project.
