Aloha Stadium has been closed for more than two years. Fans said a final goodbye in February. The initial plan to replace the stadium included an entertainment district with hotel rooms, retail outlets, housing units and more. Then that plan was put on hold, and then it came back with a different twist and then things kind of stopped. So we’re asking, "what’s up with Aloha Stadium?"

18:38 if Cayetano paid attention to the issue back then prior to COVID he would know part of the plan was for the current Aloha Stadium to be used while the new stadium is being built. Of course COVID put a wrench in that plan for everyone.

@@michaelkiese7794 Hey yo. It's very simple. I don't think you're getting it. And you seem to be taking this personally. If Cayetano wants to have some skin in the game now then his tenure and policy as governor deserves some criticism. I'm not speaking of those you named cause they aren't, at least publicly speaking on it like Cayetano is right now. If an who they do then I will definetly critique their policy and decisions.

Aloha Stadium ... I don't ever remember ONE event that every seat was sold out for an event. The entire thing is a F'ing waste of money!

That’s part of the reason they’re making it smaller.

To me, they don't need to build this stadium. The University of hawaii already has a on campus stadium. It would be much easier and cheaper to just invest in that stadium and add a few thousand seats & a few more upgrades. All of which would cost the state a lot less money & would be ready quickly, not 5 or more years from now.

All they did was just add metal bleachers. Not that hard to do.

The University was forced to act fast because they had no contingency plan for the aloha stadium condemnation. A pivot that was so hastily put together by the University that they had to petition the ncaa to allow them to maintain D1 status since their attendance would not meet requirements. And it could not come at a worse time in college athletics when their is a huge consolidation taking place in terms of monies and exposure.

Amazing that there was a full blown charge to approve HART the most incredibly foolish project in all 50 states costing tens of billions, but now all we see is paranoia, caution and delay in dealing with this $400 million stadium that will produce an income while HART will be a bottomless pit of taxing.
