These are bad ass!!! Send as many as you can get! :) I'm stealing all of them. We supplied all the 8 5/8" OD Tubing for this. Not to mention all the 12" and 14". Its hard to tell for certain, But do you have curved structural inside of the large fabricated supports? Some heavy I-Beam or something? If so, odds are we did that too and then sent it off to Fought or Greenberry to finish up. I'm pretty sure you told me and forgive me if so, but you are with Hoffman right?

I cant believe the reach this project has in the region. pretty crazy. Lol. I have Galvanizing salesmen stopping by asking about it even.

Anyhow, awesome stuff man.

They thought it was ruining the traditional feeling of Hayward Field. Seems pretty cool to me though.

Track and field was the original claim to fame for the U of O in sports. Back with Coach Bill Bowerman, it became to home of distances runners, soon after the four minute mile was broken by Roger Bannister in England, U of O runners began pushing the mark at Oregon. Hayward field became the place.

I went to a State track meet there my senior year in High School to throw the Javelin. The only time I was ever there. I didn't belong there, beaten by more than fifty feet even with my best ever throw. But that was Hayward field.
It seems to me, over the years, a hell of a lot of US Olympic track teams were selected there?

The great U of O distance runners along with Coach Bowerman, and not so talented U of O student named Knight got a better track shoe production started.

Yeah there is more tube than you can shake a stick at. I've certified more 6G this year than in the last 3 years combined.
Inside has a combination of multi directional connections and I beam

What are those things for?

These are the top sections of some lookout towers that will be around the stadium. I think 6-8 levels of observatory with two elevator or stair shafts in the center. We supplied all the bent material. I assume @kjironman1 will be seeing these down in Eugene soon. At first we thought there were like some sort of Olympic torch type thing.

That's what they look like. Competition torch and ornamental structures. Nice job!

I always thought there were two kinds of work that I could never do:
1. Work in the medical field where I would be exposed to people with serious injuries that involved lots of blood or bone protruding through the skin;
2. Construction that involved heights even if attached by a safety harness or in a bucket.

I could never do your kind of work. Thank God, there are people like you out there to do that work.

Also, thank God there are doctors, nurses and EMT workers.
