    Don't forget Cornelius Swarthout's role as without him, Nike may not have ever came about. You'll be surprised when you google him but the connection should be obvious. :bgrin:

    Okay, I looked it up. Don't worry, your sexual function will be fine (snicker, snicker).

    Not football?
    I do have to admit that the walk from campus to Autzen stadium is simply gorgeous. Love the woods, love the bridge over the Willamette.

    I'm trying to remember who, but I recall some former UofO track guy complaining about this. They thought it was ruining the traditional feeling of Hayward Field. Seems pretty cool to me though.

    These are bad ass!!! Send as many as you can get! :) I'm stealing all of them. We supplied all the 8 5/8" OD Tubing for this. Not to mention all the 12" and 14". Its hard to tell for certain, But do you have curved structural inside of the large fabricated supports? Some heavy I-Beam or something? If so, odds are we did that too and then sent it off to Fought or Greenberry to finish up. I'm pretty sure you told me and forgive me if so, but you are with Hoffman right?

    I cant believe the reach this project has in the region. pretty crazy. Lol. I have Galvanizing salesmen stopping by asking about it even.

    Anyhow, awesome stuff man.

    Track and field was the original claim to fame for the U of O in sports. Back with Coach Bill Bowerman, it became to home of distances runners, soon after the four minute mile was broken by Roger Bannister in England, U of O runners began pushing the mark at Oregon. Hayward field became the place.

    I went to a State track meet there my senior year in High School to throw the Javelin. The only time I was ever there. I didn't belong there, beaten by more than fifty feet even with my best ever throw. But that was Hayward field.
    It seems to me, over the years, a hell of a lot of US Olympic track teams were selected there?

    The great U of O distance runners along with Coach Bowerman, and not so talented U of O student named Knight got a better track shoe production started.

    Yeah there is more tube than you can shake a stick at. I've certified more 6G this year than in the last 3 years combined.
    Inside has a combination of multi directional connections and I beam

    You gotta go and see it from the inside. Pretty cool.

    Very nice! We don't always get to see our work in the field and rarely get to see the finished product. Cool stuff man.
