Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium, Athletic stadium in Columbus, United States
Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium contains nine 48-inch-wide running tracks and a natural grass field spanning 69 meters by 108 meters at Ohio State University.
The stadium, inaugurated on August 4, 2001, replaced the original cinder track of Ohio Stadium, which was converted to expanded football seating capacity.
The facility honors Jesse Owens, the American track and field champion who earned four gold medals during the 1936 Berlin Olympics while defying racial prejudices.
The 10,000-seat stadium hosts Ohio State Buckeyes soccer matches, track competitions, and serves as the venue for Ohio high school athletic championships.
The construction required an investment of 6.5 million dollars to create a multi-purpose facility that accommodates both collegiate and community sporting events.
