With the collegiate indoor season officially behind us, we can finally start looking forward to the NCAA outdoor championships. But I'm not talking about this year's event, which will be held at the University of Oregon — I'm thinking about 2019 and 2020.

Oregon was the original pick to host the next three years of outdoor championships, but scheduled construction to Hayward Field in 2019 nulled the Ducks' contract with the NCAA. Oregon will put in a bid to host the 2020 championships, according to associate athletic director Vin Lanana. 

Hayward Field is arguably the perfect venue to host championships: the track and the stadium boast a ton of history in the sport, and officials have facilitated so many marquee events that things always run smoothly.

But who else would do a good job? And where can we get a post-meet beer besides the Wild Duck?

Here's a few ideas for venues to host the 2019 and 2020 championships.

Mike A. Myers Stadium, University of Texas

The University of Texas has to be considered a major contender for the next hosting responsibilities. Officials from the school confirmed they are preparing a bid and with good reason. 

No, not just because you can see the beautiful Austin skyline and Texas state capitol building from the stadium.

Texas' flagship university puts on the second-largest track and field event in the country every year: the Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays. The 2018 edition of the action-packed pro, collegiate, and high school track meet will be its 91st running.

The Longhorns also have experience hosting NCAA events. Texas has hosted five of the NCAA West preliminary rounds since the new regional format was introduced in 2010 and has put on the NCAA outdoor track and field championships six times, most recently in 2004.

Nearby Lady Bird Lake is a 10-mile trail mecca for distance runners, coaches, and fans alike. With the world's best barbecue, breakfast tacos, and rooftop bars, there's plenty for spectators to enjoy — and trust there will be plenty of spectators. The 2017 Texas Relays Saturday attendance was estimated at over 21,000 spectators.

Okay, the FloTrack HQ is also in Austin, so it would be pretty convenient for us to cover the meet. The only downside may be the state capital's notorious heat and humidity.

Franklin Field, University of Pennsylvania

Franklin Field at the University of Pennsylvania hosts the United States' and the perhaps the world's largest track and field meet every year — the Penn Relays, known to top 100,000 spectators over the final three days of competition.

Renovations to the iconic stadium were completed just under three years ago, so what better time to bring the fire of an NCAA championships to perhaps the only venue in the nation that can rival Hayward Field for historic value?

While the Quakers have successfully hosted the Penn Relays every year since 1895, they have only hosted the NCAA outdoor championships twice: in 1961 and 1976.

The East Coast locale should be warm, but not detrimentally so, for the early June host date. And is there a better post-race meal than a Philly cheesesteak?

It's high time for the University of Florida to host their first NCAA outdoor championships. The Gators have won four men's outdoor team titles since 2012, including the past two; four men's indoor team titles, including the 2018 crown; and one women's indoor team title back in 1992, though the Lady Gators made the podium this month by edging Oregon by a single point.

Of course, the bid has more to do with facilities than winning records, but how fun would it be to have a crowd of Gators fans cheering on Grant Holloway and company in the breakout star's last two years of NCAA eligibility?

The University of Florida puts on the hugely successful Florida Relays every year, now in its 73rd year, and the Percy Beard track was resurfaced in its trademark blue hue in 2011.

And let's be real: Gainesville's palm trees and sunshine sound way more like the components of a great track meet than the unseasonably cool temperatures and rain of Eugene in June.

Icahn Stadium, Randall's Island, New York

A university has to submit a bid for itself and Icahn Stadium isn't attached to any university, so this pick is likely impossible. But let's focus on the positive.

First off, the $42 million dollar world-class facility includes a gorgeous blue track and meets IAAF specifications for hosting national and international championships. There is seating for 5,000 spectators, though past events have invited more fans to cheer from the infield. 

The location: New York City! The stadium is situated on Randall's Island, which is technically part of Manhattan but separated from the city by the Harlem River. Stadium spectators are treated to views of the Manhattan and East River skylines.

The prestige: Usain Bolt set his first world record here, his 9.72 in 2008 at the adidas Grand Prix. 

Icahn Stadium hosted the adidas Grand Prix — before that, the Reebok Grand Prix — for 10 years as part of the IAAF Diamond League before the organization decided to replace its spot on the tour with its first stop in Africa, the Rabat meeting. Today, the stadium hosts a mixture of events, including the final stop on last year's TrackTown Summer Series. 

Who wouldn't want to celebrate the end of the season in New York City?

E.B. Cushing Stadium, Texas A&M

Texas A&M's to-be-completed facility is the wildcard on this list. We all saw how ridiculous this year's 2018 NCAA Indoor Championships were, with two world records, two world junior records, four American records, six collegiate records, and nine NCAA championship records set at the event. The momentum from that meet alone could fuel a successful outdoor hosting bid.

Check out a full breakdown of all the 2018 NCAA Indoors records here.

The university and countless donors have put a reported $39.8 million dollars into what an Aggies press release describes as a track and field "palace." 

The new digs will have seating for 3,000 spectators — which is much less than rival sites, but perhaps more likely to be a full house at meet time. It's always sort of depressing and sad to see half-filled bleachers at a major track and field championship.

In 14 years, head coach Pat Henry has brought home nine national championships. There's no way he retires without seeing College Station host an NCAA outdoor championship.

The biggest obstacle for the Aggies is the fact that construction on the stadium is not scheduled to be completed until August of this year. Given the precarious renovation situation at Hayward Field, the NCAA may not want to award hosting duties to a venue that is currently incomplete.
