Stadium Access Mulled (Continued from page 1) Bank site by a committee of the Eugene Chamber of Commerce. The Hayward Field site was found to be less adequate. Pugh said long range plans also include removing one side of the present Hayward Field stands to make room for more playing fields. If the new stadium is built, present plans call for Hayward Field to remain as a track facil ity. Meanwhile the knotty problem of access roads, the main question about the stadium site, was being discussed by a group of state, city, and county representatives called the Technical Advisory Council (TAC). TAC indicated that access to the North Bank site from Q St. or Interstate 5 might be either too expensive or difficult to ob tain. Such access had been sug gested earlier at a meeting of the Central Lane Planning Commis sion (CLPC). Permission Doubtful The question is whether the State Bureau of Public Roads could permit such access just for football traffic. Several TAC members suggest ed widening Centennial Blvd. and making other adjustments in the existing Eugene-Springfield road network. One member said it would be a mistake to come into conflict with the University over the site at this point, according to a story in the Register-Guard. The committee agreed to make their access recommendations on the assumption that: • There will be no tie-in with Q St. or Interstate 5. • There will be no considera tion of a bridge across the Wil lamette River connecting the North Bank and Franklin Blvd. • Existing roads will have to be widened. • University-owned land may be used for parking. Lane County commissioners have also been raising questions about the site. Commissioners Agree But last Tuesday all three com missioners agreed that they had no intention of trying to change the stadium site. They made this change of opin ion—they had all previously dis cussed other sites—known at a meeting of the Central Lane Met opolitan Recreauon-C u 11 u r a 1 Planning Committee, an advisory group to the Central Lane Plan ning Commission (CLPC). What apparently won them over, according to the Register Guard, was an estimate by Mc Cready that 80 per cent of the money raised would be lost if the site and timing were changed McCready indicated that many pledges were predicated on the idea that the stadium would be built in North Bank Park and would be ready for the 1967 sea son. Other Sites Suggested Commissioner Jess Hill had favored a site near L 'ltline Road and Interstate 5 and Kenneth Neilson had suggested the Hay ward Field site. The commissioners did agree that there was a lack of commu nications between the county and the University. A meeting is now being set up between President Flemming and the CLPC. Neilson indicated concern over expansion of the stadium to a bigger seating capacity but he said the stadium as planned could “go up” if need be and wouldn't require additional land, according to the Register-Guard. At that meeting Dean Duncan questioned whether the North Bank site or the timing was the key. He wondered what the re action of donors would be to a stadium at another site that could be completed by 1967. Henry Eaton, a Eugene lumber man, proposed still another site, one in which he happens to be part owner—on West 11th Ave., west of Willow Creek Road. He suggested that the 89-acre plot on the North Bank was too small for the needs of a stadium.
