Hayward Field Profile

One of the most famous track and field-only facilities in the world, Hayward Field is a Mecca for American track and field. Built in 1919, the historic venue has hosted nine NCAA Championships, six national championships, and three Olympic Trials, not to mention 29 editions of the world famous Prefontaine Classic.

Historical Overview

The University of Oregon's Hayward Field, one of the most famous track and field facilities in the world, is named for Bill Hayward, who coached the University of Oregon's men's team from 1904-1947. Hayward Field was initially constructed for football in 1919, and was founded at that season's homecoming contest. Two years later, a six-lane cinder track was installed and a full schedule of track events were transferred from Kincaid Field on the opposite edge of campus. The facility was utilized for both sports until the opening of Autzen Stadium in 1967. Hayward Field (current capacity: 8,000) entertained its ninth NCAA Championships in 2001 - the most of any collegiate venue in recent history. Previous national collegiate championships were staged in Eugene in 1962, 1964, 1972, 1978, 1984, 1988, 1991 and 1996. In June 2001, Hayward Field welcomed its sixth national championship (AAU/TAC/USA), only two years after hosting the 1999 US Championships. In addition, it's the only facility to ever host three consecutive US Olympic Trials (1972, 1976, 1980). The centerpiece of 'Track City USA', Hayward Field stands as the nation's most fabled track and field facility thanks to its track and field-only usage and covered grandstands comparable to famous European venues. Referred to as the 'Carnegie Hall' of U.S. track and field venues, it also plays host annually to the nation's finest single-day track and field contest, the Prefontaine Classic, which features the top mix of national and international talent on American soil each year.
