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.
