“We can configure it many different ways according to the event,” says Duncan, who joined the UO intercollegiate athletics department in October 2008 and consulted on some design issues before arena construction began in February 2009. Banks of seats retract to increase floor space a giant grid of steel rigging overhead supports almost any conceivable equipment load for smaller crowds, curtains hide empty upper-level tiers to create a more intimate space of about 5,500 seats and subterranean loading docks allow big rigs access to the main floor for fast event setup and breakdown. And the arena, which seats 12,369 for sports, can morph to meet most any need. Though plans for Matthew Knight Arena don’t call for quite that much activity, expect a similar breadth of events extending far beyond UO basketball and volleyball games. “We also hosted the NCAA basketball tournament, the women’s volleyball final four, some great NBA playoff games, governors’ inaugurations, all kinds of things.” Concerts from the Rolling Stones to U2 to Garth Brooks, almost every major artist you can think of,” Duncan says. “We did everything down there, about 200 events a year. The variety and quality of events booked so far are a credit to Duncan and his two decades of experience working in a similar capacity at ARCO Arena (now Power Balance Pavilion) in Sacramento, California.

His title is a mouthful, but as ringmaster for the University’s biggest indoor stage, Duncan’s primary responsibility-and the thing he most enjoys-is clear: “Bringing great events to town.” The fun part is knowing that you were involved in making that happen,” says Duncan, senior associate athletic director for facilities, events, and operations. “Somebody comes out on stage and you see the whole building stand up and start clapping and just explode.
