Eugene, Ore. For over a year, University of Oregon head track and field coach Robert Johnson has been pitching recruits a promise: that the patch of dirt occupying the once historic Hayward Field would be a world class track & field venue soon enough. Standing in the recreational center on campus, he would show prospective student-athletes the construction site, which eventually became a shell of steel and concrete and finally, a stadium worthy of carrying on the Hayward legacy.
