Leon said. “It we could only say it had
been built for basketball, our presi
dent would not have built it.”
Two sites GSL and Oregon an
nounced would be on campus, with
in blocks of the residential halls. The
first option is to demolish Howe
Field. The facility is used by the soft
ball team and is located next door to
McArthur Court.
Oregon already owns Howe Field,
so there would be no worries about
purchasing the land needed to build.
But at the same time, it would open
up another site search to relocate the
softball facilities. Also, placing the new
arena near McArthur Court would not
solve the area’s parking problems,
which arise during basketball games.
The second site is the current site
of William’s Bakery, located on 13th
Avenue, Columbia Street and Villard
Street. Aside from Howe Field, it is
the closest facility to the campus.
It is a popular choice because of
its proximity to campus but, again,
parking would be a concern.
Cox Arena, built in 1997, is in a
residential area of San Diego, said
John Kolek, director of the arena.
“We certainly think that we have
become the showpiece arena in our
area,” he said.
Both Springfield sites mentioned
in the report mirror Cox’s placement
in San Diego. Not parallel to campus,
and in more of a residential area
than, say, the Downtown Eugene site
near the federal courthouse.
Yet, building in a spot near neigh
borhoods can be tricky.
Kolek said Cox Arena was held up
for six years because of lawsuits
from the community concerned
with its construction.
“It was a long-running concern of
what kind of neighbors the universi
ty was to the community,” Kolek

said. “The first thing would be to in
volve the community. If we had in
volved the community from the
start, I think we could’ve eliminated
the six-year delay.”
A final site that has been pushed
by some, specifically Dave Hauser,
president of the Eugene Chamber of
Commerce, is at the Federal Court
house near Patterson Street. Those
who argue for its placement down
town point out the possibility of a re
developed Eugene center.
“It’s better suited to be close to the
University, and allows others to visit
downtown,” Hult & Associates presi
dent Gretchen Pierce said. “It’s part
of the whole experience downtown.”
Both Hauser and Dan Egan, exec
utive director of the Springfield
Chamber of Commerce, hope to have
the new arena — if it is OK’d by
Frohnmayer — built in their respec
tive cities.
However, both agree that — re
gardless of the site — it will benefit
Lane County.
“I hope whatever decision is
made, we think of the long-term,”
Hauser said. “I hope in the end that
we accomplish more than just a
new basketball arena.”
