Friends of Civic Stadium

Sustainable Civic

That is what Civic is all about. It has made it for 70 years and has a lot more life left for the people of Eugene.

From the e'mails that I have received, one of the things that most all of them say is that Civic seems to be in pretty good shape. Some look at it as needing lots of work and others look at it as needing TLC. Here in Oregon, changing weather is the only constant. And with all we get here, Civic is in great shape for all of the neglect it has had.

Just what has to be done to keep it going? Well, we'd like to see more than the patch-all and paint that has held it together for way too long. But, that is the second of our concerns for now. We need to establish a Vision for Civic. What can we do as a people here in Eugene to keep Civic a viable part of the community? How can it stay in the mainstream of our thoughts of "things to do" with our family and friends? How can we keep Civic not only in our fond memories, but in our tactile senses of seeing, touching, smelling and hearing our echo's in the stands? We have to come together and establish a plan for Civic that will ensure it's continued use and future for all the people.

Let's be heard. Come and particiate in the first general meeting of the Save Civic Stadium organization. Tony Corcoran and State Senator Floyd Prozanski will be co-hosting. It will be informative and organizational, so bring your ideas for Saving Civic Stadium.
