PATRICK WAYNE VALLEY FIELD
One of the nation's most modern track and field facilities is Patrick Wayne
Valley Field, which was dedicated March 30, 1974. The facility includes the
first international track (400 meters) to have been built in the United
States. The track itself is a Chevron 440 surface, possibly the most resilient
surface ever produced. The entire layout of Patrick Wayne Valley Field is one
of the nation's most imaginative and modern in terms of surface and provision
for electronic aids. The track was named in the memory of Patrick Wayne
Valley, a former student-athlete who died in 1969. His father, Wayne Valley,
was also an Oregon State graduate who made numerous contributions to the OSU
athletic program. Wayne Valley was a highly successful businessman in the San
Francisco Bay Area. At one time he was the principal owner of the Oakland
Raiders of the NFL. Patrick Wayne Valley was a lineman on the OSU football
team from 1964 to 1966 and a member of the 1964 Rose Bowl squad. He died in a
drowning accident in 1969. Wayne Valley passed away in 1986.
