Oregon’s new football complex is already turning heads, even with plenty of work still ahead.
The Ducks’ massive project next to Autzen Stadium in Eugene is hard to ignore. The work includes a new 170,000-square-foot indoor athletics training facility, the relocation of two outdoor practice fields, a realignment of Leo Harris Parkway, and upgrades to nearby community spaces in Alton Baker Park, including parking and natural areas.
A video posted on X by @GoDucksGo_ showing the latest progress at the Hatfield Dowlin Complex quickly spread online, giving fans another look at just how much the site has changed. The expected finish date is 2027, but the scale of the build is already obvious.
What makes the project stand out is its size. Oregon is constructing what will become the largest indoor football practice facility in the nation, and it will be longer, wider and taller than anything else in college football. At nearly 100 feet tall, it will also rank among the tallest practice facilities in the country across college athletics.
The transformation has been especially noticeable since April, when reporter Bri Amaranthus shared earlier images and video of the site. Since then, the futuristic shape of the building and the layout of the two outdoor fields have become much easier to recognize.
“It’s pretty awesome,” Oregon coach Dan Lanning said. “I always think a healthy university, you're going to see some buildings going up. And it's really awesome to be able to see that going on in our backyard, and the impact that's going to make for us in future seasons, and how that's going to be really a weapon for our players and our coaches, for us to continue to advance.”
Lanning also pointed to the practical side of the project, highlighting the proximity of classrooms, recovery rooms, a players lounge, weight room and indoor temperature control.
The facility, called “2.Mo.,” is being built entirely through private philanthropy and is designed as a broad athlete performance space. During the 2025 season, Oregon has been practicing inside Autzen Stadium and the Moshofsky Center while the new building rises.
That construction has become part of the football experience in Eugene. Fans can catch a glimpse of the project on the way into games, while the team and staff watch it take shape day by day. The new football-specific complex will also free up existing facilities for other student-athletes by giving football a dedicated home.
Even as a work in progress, the building already looks unlike anything else in the sport. For Oregon, that’s the point.

Oregons Next 2027 Commit Could Be Closer Than Fans Think
Oregons 2027 recruiting class already has plenty of star power, and the Ducks are still working at a pace that suggests the group could keep growing soon. As of mid-July, they have 24 verbal commits, highlighted by recent additions Xavier Sabb, Hayden Stepp and Tae Walden Jr., giving Dan Lannings staff another early showcase of how aggressively it is building for the future.
The next move may not be far off, either, with four-star linebacker Feister sitting in the strongest position to become the next name in the class. Oregon remains in the mix for several other prospects as well, including defensive tackle Parks and running back Williams-Callis, while some targets have already shut things down elsewhere despite the Ducks continued interest. For a class that is already deep and still taking shape, the more interesting question may be how much more room Oregon wants to make. [Read more 🡒]
Oregon Is Making A Serious Push For Its Next Elite Quarterback
Oregons quarterback board for the 2028 class is already taking shape, and Josiah Boyd has emerged as one of the names worth watching. The four-star passer has drawn attention from a national group of powers, but the Ducks have stayed active in his recruitment and have built real momentum by getting him to Eugene multiple times.
The competition is not letting up, though, with Ohio State and several other major programs still in the mix alongside USC, Arizona State, Alabama and Kentucky. Oregon has done enough to keep itself squarely in the conversation, and the relationship it has built with Boyd and the staff will matter as this chase develops over the next stretch. [Read more 🡒]
