I think we have some nice track venues in the US. Granted they aren't the largest but I don't think it is embarrassing on any level.

Don't see the need for a 70,000 or 80,000 seat track stadium. Track simply isn't a major sport in the US. I ran track in college and never once felt that we were running at second class venues.

Franklin Field (Penn Relays)


Hayward Field (Oregon). The Fenway Park of Track venues


Drake Stadium (Drake Relays)


Mike Meyers (Texas Relays)

Those stadiums are nice and have a lot of character, but I meant an NFL sized stadium, something you could play football or big soccer matches in too.

These are the last 5 IAAF Track and Field World Championships venues:

Osaka

Berlin

Deagu

Moscow

Beijing
