Linfield’s Legendary Maxwell Field

The University of Oregon track & field scoreboard at Hayward Field in Eugene rightly identifies the venue as "historic."

Note, "HISTORIC HAYWARD FIELD."

Hayward was built in 1919. Originally it was intended to primarily serve the UO's football program. A few years later, a track, for use by the UO track & field team, was constructed around the football field.

Linfield College's Maxwell Field in McMinnville has been home to Linfield football and track & field teams since 1928. In 1947, Memorial Stadium, providing covered seating for fans of both sports and other services for athletics was built at Maxwell.

Henceforth, Wildcatville shall rightfully identify it as "LEGENDARY MAXWELL FIELD."
