The stadium and plaza continue to proceed. In actuality the process is moving more rapidly given the weather and ability to proceed unencumbered by other constituents on campus. Etzel Field renovations - Page 2 Img_6010

It's a good thing most of the Athletic Department employees are working from home...

Renovations appear to be coming along nicely. You can even see some of the work on the Chiles Center plaza being done.

Excited to see the final product! Anyone know what the next steps are in the project?

Any updates here? Given my distance and the state of the pandemic, a little stadium update would be a bright spot.

Well, they didn’t make the June completion date, but a push in August would have them mostly ready for the return of students, a least from the outside.

For you out of staters, the OSAA says with the Ban on contact sports until late Sept. it’s not likely we will see HS football this fall. Other sports like soccer and xcountry might have reduced schedules, but there is too much to do for football.

The lower campus is not as far along. In May they were driving piles for buildings, I was told. There is still machinery down there, but so far no buildings going up that I could see from a distance, and no work on the track yet.

Love it! Glad this project finally came to fruition. Can't wait to be able to visit Portland again some day and actually see this place for myself.

Also, having bathrooms in the venue itself is a huge improvement for Pilot baseball fans! Razz

The upgrade to the sound system at Joe Etzel field was completed in 2022, and badly needed upgrade in the Chiles Center was completed last year...

That article was worthwhile just for the picture with a glimpse from the inside of the circle at the top of Chiles. Was always curious what it looked like up there.

Only marginally related here (and more deserving of being in the basketball forum): are the Trail Blazers G-League team still calling Chiles Home? Will that neutral floor be used again this season?

Yes the Remix are still playing in Chiles. I think they disassembled and shipped the court to a warehouse before graduation last year and will use it again after the volleyball season is over. I could be wrong on that.

The last volleyball game at home is Saturday November 16 (senior day), and the first Remix home game is November 22.

UP men do not play at home again until Sunday December 1 at 2 o'clock against Denver.

Here are a couple of photos from 1983 while the Chiles Center was under construction and eventually dedicated in 1984.
