Whether you like the new Hayward Field or not, it doesn’t matter — it’s here. The Phil Knight-funded track came with the cleverly named “Hayward Field Tower,” a 10 story tall shaft that supposedly tells the 100-year story behind Oregon track and field, according to the university.
But we like to call it The Phildo, one heck of a nugget suggested by our readers that pays homage to the man who was so instrumental in building the new facilities, as well as to the Tower’s distinctive shape. The so-inspired name conjures images of certain pleasure apparatuses, so when we saw that the University of Oregon had posted a photo on Twitter of a rainbow sprouting out of the tower, we just had to share — what they call in some businesses — the money shot.
Enjoy responsibly:

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
