About Hayward Field

Hayward Field is a purpose-built outdoor track and field stadium located on the University of Oregon campus in Eugene, Oregon. The venue originally opened in 1919 and was completely rebuilt and reopened in 2020 on the same site. Owned and operated by the University of Oregon, it seats approximately 12,650 fans in permanent grandstand seating and can expand to around 25,000 with temporary seating for major championship events.

The stadium is home to Oregon Ducks Track and Field and hosts a focused calendar of athletics events, including collegiate meets, the Prefontaine Classic, national championships, Olympic Trials, and World Athletics championship events. It has hosted multiple U.S. Olympic Team Trials, numerous NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships, USATF Championships, the 2022 World Athletics Championships, and the 2025 World Athletics U20 Championships.

Hayward Field is known for its sweeping oval grandstand, translucent roof canopy, intimate track-focused atmosphere, and the adjacent Bowerman Tower named for legendary Oregon coach and Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman.

Location & Transportation

Hayward Field is located at 1580 E 15th St., Eugene, OR 97440 — on the University of Oregon campus near Agate Street and 15th Avenue.

Transit: Hayward Field is served by Lane Transit District bus routes, with campus-area stops nearby. Walking and biking are strongly encouraged for event access, especially for major meets when campus streets and nearby lots become busier.

Driving and Parking: On-campus and nearby lots serve the venue, but parking fills early for major events. Championship meets often use event-specific parking and shuttle arrangements, and traffic around campus increases sharply for large competitions.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are workable near campus. For large championship events, expect designated zones and longer post-event waits as crowds leave the stadium area.

Nearby Accommodation: Lodging is available in downtown Eugene and near the University of Oregon. Downtown and campus-adjacent hotels offer the easiest access, and rooms book well in advance for major championship events.

Venue Navigation

Hayward Field is organized around a continuous oval grandstand that encircles the track, with lower and upper seating areas beneath the canopy roof. Understanding your gate, section, and seat location ahead of time helps you move efficiently through the stadium on high-attendance meet days.

Entrances and Access: Multiple gated entrances ring the oval grandstand, with access points oriented toward the University of Oregon campus and surrounding streets near Agate Street and 15th Avenue.

Seating Levels: Seating is arranged in a single continuous bowl around the track, with lower and upper seating areas under the roof canopy. Temporary seating can supplement the permanent capacity for championship events.

Accessibility: ADA and accessible seating and services are provided throughout the modern facility, which was designed with current accessibility standards.

Getting to Your Section: Signage and event staff direct fans to gates and sections. Arriving early is especially helpful for large meets, when crowd volume around entry points, concourses, and seating areas is heavier.

Dining Options

Inside Hayward Field

Concession stands serve standard stadium fare and beverages during events. Lines can build around peak arrival times and breaks in competition, so getting food or drinks before the busiest windows can make the visit smoother.

Outside the Venue — Campus and Downtown Eugene

Dining options are available near the University of Oregon campus and in downtown Eugene. Restaurants along the 13th Avenue campus corridor and in the downtown core are convenient choices before or after events at Hayward Field.

Security & Policies

Hayward Field maintains security and venue policies that are updated regularly and may vary by event. Before attending, reviewing the current policy on the venue's official website is strongly recommended.

Bag Policy: Bag restrictions typically apply for major events, with clear-bag policies and size limits common at championship meets. Requirements can vary by event.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Commonly restricted items include weapons, outside food and drink, professional cameras, and other items restricted for large public events.

Re-Entry: Re-entry policies vary by event and are often restricted during major championships. Re-entry rules are shown on the event listing.

How Much Do Tickets to Hayward Field Cost?

Hayward Field ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the meet or session, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from collegiate regular-season meets to Olympic Trials and World Athletics championship events.

For collegiate and regular-season meets, tickets can start at approximately $10–$30, making these events an accessible way to experience Hayward Field and Oregon Ducks track and field.

For the Prefontaine Classic and other marquee meets, tickets are typically around $30–$100 or more, with prices driven by athlete fields, demand, and seat location.

For championship events such as the Olympic Trials and World Athletics competitions, tickets can range from approximately $40–$200+ depending on the session and seating. Finals sessions and seats near the finish line often command higher prices than preliminary sessions or seats farther from the highest-demand views.

Buying earlier generally secures better seat locations and prices, especially for marquee and championship events that sell out. As inventory shrinks and the date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections often rise.

Hayward Field Seating Guide

Hayward Field’s seating layout is built around the track, with a continuous oval grandstand, lower and upper seating areas, and event-specific temporary seating for major championships. Because track and field action unfolds across straightaways, curves, finish areas, and field-event zones, seat location can shape how you experience each session.

Best Seats at Hayward Field

• Best value: Seats in the curves, far ends of the oval, and upper rows tend to be the most affordable while still keeping fans inside the atmosphere of the stadium.
• Closest to the action: Lower-bowl seats along the straightaways and near the finish line place fans closest to the track and the most intense moments of sprint finishes.
• Best overall experience: Sections along the home straightaway near the finish line offer the strongest overall views of sprints and finishes, making them especially popular for marquee meets and championship sessions.
• Premium and suite options: Premium seating and hospitality areas are available, offering upgraded service and a more elevated event experience.
• For groups: Group accommodations are arranged for larger events, and planning early helps when trying to keep seats together for high-demand meets.
• General admission: General admission seating is offered for some events, while major championships use premium and reserved sections.

Getting Ready for Your Hayward Field Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at an outdoor venue on a busy university campus.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the gate without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Major meets can create campus traffic and parking congestion quickly, and walking or biking is encouraged by organizers.
• Wear the right footwear. The facility involves stairs within the grandstand, and campus walks are part of the experience for many guests. Comfortable, supportive shoes are advisable.
• Dress in layers. Hayward Field is an outdoor venue, so expect exposure to sun, heat, and occasional rain. Layers and sun protection are especially helpful during summer meets.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Arriving early is important for major meets because campus parking and traffic can congest quickly.
• Know your entrance. Your assigned gate and section help you move efficiently through the venue during large championship events that draw big crowds.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
