The school's new state-of-the-art indoor practice facility remains under construction. The school's plans include a new state-of-the-art 170,000 square foot indoor facility located west of Autzen and the relocation of both outdoor fields. The school has targeted 2029 for the completion of the entire project, but the outdoor fields will be completed before then.

Here's a Look From Above of the Progress of Oregon's Practice Facility Upgrades

I was going to get there with my drone, but you beat me to it. Good Job!

I guess he Gotcha? 😁

Having drone photos would be nice if you have time to do it to track the progress. Hopefully the 2 outdoor practice fields can be finished as soon as possible.

By the way the photos are from Duck Territory. I didn't take them. That would be hard for me to do from Arizona. See the article on my post.

"targeted 2029 for completion of the entire project"

2026-28 to complete a project already underway, that (36months +) seems like an awfully long construction window for completion?

It only took three years to complete Jerry World. This thing must be an engineering marvel.

Was at the dog park on Monday. Construction has slowed WAY down.

Here's a pic of the Ferry Street bridge from Skinner's Butte, during the 1890 flood. The north entrance under water. Autzen would be built, much later.

Safety rules and all of that. However, the Empire State building was completed in just under 14 months. March 17, 1930 - April 11, 1931.

Things can be built much faster, but all the safety inspections required slows things way down. Unfortunately, University of Oregon can't have city, state and federal inspectors onsite 24/7. It is hurry up and build, then wait for inspectors. Hurry up and build, then wait for inspectors.

How about a new regulation that inspectors who fail to be on site within 24 hours of the completed work are to be used as tackling dummies on the opening day of fall practice? Might hurry things up.
