Baseball Back at the University of Oregon

It has been a long time coming, but baseball is back at the University of Oregon. Back when I was in High School in the mid 70's, I used to enjoy going to the University of Oregon Baseball games at Howe Field. Howe Field, located right next to Mac Arthur Court is a centerpeice on the University of Oregon Campus. From the seats you could see Mac Court as well as the Famed Hayward field, the location for several Olympic Trials. For years the University of Oregon has been the only team in the Pac-10 conference to not have a baseball team. Last year the new Athletic Director decided it was about time.

I want to post a Picture of some of the overhauls that will be happening over the next few years in Eugene, Oregon. A new Basketball Arena for the Basketball team, and a new Baseball team, complete with a new stadium. In the picture on the right we see what the new baseball stadium will look like. It is expected to be built and completed by spring of 2010. In the background you can see Autzen stadium where the Oregon Ducks Play Football.

Here in the picture on the left side of the page is a front view of what the new basketball arena is expected to look like. Oregon Athletics is ready to complete with the likes of the big boys..
