Aloha Stadium
Just off the waters of historic Pearl Harbor lies Aloha Stadium, home of the University of Hawai'i football team. For the past 27 years, the 50,000-seat facility has served as the home field to the only NCAA Division I football program in the state.
Unique in its structure, Aloha Stadium features four, 3.5 million pound mobile grandstands, which can transform into three different configurations. Each grandstand holds 7,000 seats and with the use of the "air film" principle, can configure into a traditional diamond for baseball and soccer, an oval for football, and a triangle for concerts and plays, in just 30 minutes. A few years ago, the stadium was covered with $2.5 million AstroTurf.
The stadium is equipped with professional-caliber facilities for its tenants. Four spacious locker rooms that fit 100 lockers each are available to teams. In addition, there are training rooms, sauna areas, hydrotherapy units, lounges, and team rooms and offices for coaches, trainers, and physicians. On the stadium's loge section, two press boxes seat nearly 200 members of the media, stadium officials, and VIPs.
The stadium also provides public services such as first aid, security, lost and found, concessions, telephones, disability parking and seating, hearing impaired devices, I.D. bracelets, and nearly 40 restrooms. Concession stands, which are abundant throughout the stadium, feature selections from nationally acclaimed chef Sam Choy, and choices, which include sports arena standards and a variety of local favorites. Its box office is open six days a week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
