Named after the Oregon Ducks first track & field coach, Bill Hayward, who ran the Ducks' program from 1904 to 1947, Hayward Field is the historic center of Tracktown USA. It hosts the annual Prefontaine Classic, and has hosted the US Track and Field Olympic Trials in 1972, 1976, 1980, 2008, 2012, and 2016.

The Ducks football team played their games at Hayward Field until the completion of Autzen Stadium in 1967.

In 2018, the stadium was torn down and a new Hayward Field was built at the same location, completed in 2020. The new stadium has capacity of 12,900, expandable to 30,000 for major events. The World Athletics Championships were held at the new stadium in 2022.
