60 miles from Eugene wouldn't be that bad...but there isn't that much within that radius...
And the smaller roads have occasional delays...

Originally posted by DrJay View PostJust caught up on these posts. That's lunacy. I had friends (non-track fans) who attended the Barcelona Olympics. Their accommodations were way the hell away from the venues. It was planes, trains, and automobiles morning and evening for them for 10 days or more. They'd have to get up at about 6am, travel, spectate till 9pm or 10pm, then reverse it, get to bed at like 1:00am, then get up and do it all over again......

Accommodation for the World Championships is going to be something....there really isn't that much...

Perhaps she assumed that we would have a 1000 mile subway system and a massive rail network in the next few years? No one in their right mind would stay in Portland. Between driving and finding parking that could involve a daily 5 hour commute

Where will everyone stay?
With hundreds of thousands of people expected to flock to Eugene and surrounding areas for the World Championships, Lane County is expected to be filled to the brim with tourists, spectators, athletes and their family and friends.
Visitors are expected to be spread out across much of the state.
She said the international nature of the event lends itself to a much larger market of opportunities, with people willing to travel for 90 minutes to two hours to get to where they’re staying during the event.
“When we went to London in 2017 (for the World Championships) we asked people what they thought about a longer commute,” Westlund said. “They said it wouldn’t be a problem at all.”
Westlund said Travel Lane County and other organizers want to fill out the area and will have no problem doing so, especially in areas along the coast and the smaller communities that surround Eugene, such as Cottage Grove, Creswell, Oakridge and others.
“There will be some people who will want to be in Portland, and others who want to take the beautiful drive between Oakridge and Eugene,” she said. “We’ve also had a lot of interest in Florence.”
But several thousand people also will stay in the immediate Eugene-Springfield area.
There are about 5,200 hotel rooms in Lane County, with about 4,100 located in the Eugene-Springfield area, according to Westlund. She also said there are hundreds of vacation rentals throughout the county.

Ken Goe had a link to a nice drone video from March 17, showing the progress of construction.
