T h e R e g i s t e r - G u a rd reported in a story on Saturday that Bob Penny of Bellingham, Washington, filed the paper- work on March 23. Penny is a running fan who attended the school in the 1970s and says the grandstand should be preserved. “I have a pretty good knowledge of what it takes to restore a building,” said Penny, 58, who works as a residential remodeler. “The case for tearing down the grandstands is almost nonex- istent. It doesn’t hold water by any standard except the stan- dard of, ‘We just want to build something new.’” Hayward Field is a famed track and field stadium. But the school wants to triple seat- ing capacity up to 30,000 for the 2021 World Outdoor Track and Field Championships. “There are a variety of safety concerns with the structure,” UO spokesman Tobin Klinger told the news- paper in an email, noting one problem involves access as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act. “It lacks seismic reinforcement and it is not ADA compliant. Moving to a new design allows us to address many of those issues and build a world-class venue for our track athletes and the fan experience.” Officials said Penny doesn’t have the authority to seek historic status for the grand- stand since he’s not the owner. Penny is undeterred. “Part of this is to try to cre- ate a nucleus of concern that’s crystallized in a clear way, rather than just a diverse dis- cussion,” he said. “Something where the public can exert pressure against the state Department of Education, which owns the building and can do the right thing.” Excited to introduce… Michele’s Chocolate Truffles!
