Opened in 2005, Icahn Stadium is one of the most modern track-and-field arenas in the United States, with one of the fastest tracks, complete with a Mondo surface. It's hosted countless memorable performances, including Usain Bolt's then world-record 100-meter dash at the 2008 Reebok Grand Prix. Downing Stadium, the facility that formerly occupied this space, hosted the 1936 US Olympic Trials, where Jesse Owens qualified for the Berlin games.
