when not at venerable angell field, you'll find the aggies at the Pro, convened under the Penn State Alumni banner...which, by the way, is next to the framed SI cover with Dwight in his Long Beach State uniform....

On a higher note, I'm sure track fans will find the seating arrangement at The
Old Pro acceptable.
malmo
if the angell seating arrangement is going to be anything near what i hear
it will be like, there will be A LOT of grumbling from track fans come nationals
time....you might have better luck seeing the meet by sitting in the adjacent
tennis stadium.

So "a crappy high school track with cheap bleachers." Cummon! For
anyone
with a sense of history, Angell Field, much more nearly than Hayward
Field,
deserves to be called the Carnegie Hall of track. Home of the great
Templeton teams, of Eastman's world records in the 440 and 880, of
the
twilight meets of the 1930s, site of Steers jumping for the Olympic
Club
when still a junior high school student, of the 1940 world records:
Paul
Moore in the three-quarters and the mile relay, of Archie Harris'
world
record in 1941. So much more that can't be catalogued. The refurbishment
and revival of Angell Field are among the few positive notes in American
track in the four decades that Malmo speaks of.
