New Sports Arena

Talk of replacing McArthur Court has been ongoing for years. “The Pit” is one
of the oldest venues in collegiate ranks. In 2002 discussion of a new U of O sports
arena picked up, and by 2003 it seemed likely that Mac Court’s days were numbered however, in more recent news plans of a new sports arena have been put on hold due to lack of funds.
Below are links to various stories about McArthur Court and the
process behind the new arena. If you would like to add any links or
