Police found no threat after a report of a bomb Tuesday, June 9, at Hawyard Field led to a stadium evacuation and cancellation of an NCAA press conference the day before collegiate track-and-field championships.
An emergency alert, sent at around 1:39 p.m., urged UO community members to evacuate the track and field stadium at 1530 Agate St. In a 2:06 p.m. update, UO said university police were expected “to take several hours” to investigate.
At 4:04 p.m., UO announced the completion of the bomb threat investigation, giving an “all clear” allowing people to return to the stadium.
The 2026 NCAA outdoor track and field championships are scheduled to begin at Hayward Field on Wednesday.
The NCAA at first announced it would delay a pre-meet press conference planned for Tuesday, and then at 2:22 p.m. said the press conference would be canceled.
At 2:45 p.m., agencies “from across the region” out of an “abundance of caution” were continuing to investigate along with university police, UO said in a third emergency alert.
Last month, the university’s student recreation center was cleared of people after a shooting threat was phoned in. UO police identified no danger after investigating.
