Almost no stadiums today have tracks - like I said, Duke and Kansas are the only two I can think of….and Duke is removing theirs.

I doubt Stanford Stadium too….the way it’s configured, there’s no way.

Ok. Stanford stadium had a track until 2006.

“Stanford Stadium is an outdoor athletic stadium on the Stanford University campus. It is the home of the Stanford Cardinal college football team. It originally opened in 1921 as a football and track stadium, an earthen horseshoe with wooden bleacher seating and flooring upon a steel frame. Its original seating capacity was 60,000, which grew to 89,000 by 1927 as a nearly enclosed bowl. Immediately following the 2005 season, the stadium was demolished and rebuilt as a dual-deck concrete structure, without a track.”

Ohio stadium had a track until 2001.

“Beginning in 2000, the stadium was renovated and expanded in several phases, removing the track and adding additional seating, which raised the capacity to 101,568 by 2001. Since 2007, the capacity is listed at 102,329, though crowds above 105,000 are common. It is the largest stadium by capacity in the state of Ohio, the fourth largest football stadium in the United States, and the seventh largest non-racing stadium in the world. Ohio Stadium “

They finally removed the track and the “limited vision” seating at Husky Stadium during the renovation that was completed prior to this season.
