The new Matthew Knight Arena on the University of Oregon campus is now open. It replaces the old MacArthur Court, built in the 1920's. It was time for a new building. This photo was made back at the beginning (Jan 17, 2010), when construction was getting started. Here is a gallery of photos I shot at times while construction was going on - http://www.pbase.com/fotabug/arena_construction
The Oregon men opened the new arena with a win over USC. And the Oregon women were to play Oregon State on Jan. 23rd for their first game there. I was able to attend this game. Attendance was 12,302, a new PAC-10 record for a women's game. Here are some of my photos of that game - http://www.pbase.com/fotabug/uo_womens_game
