Aloha Stadium: The Path to a New Era
The History of Aloha Stadium
Located in the Halawa census-designated place, a western suburb of Honolulu, Aloha Stadium has been a cornerstone of Hawaii's sports scene for the past 47 years. As the state's largest outdoor arena, it has been the home to the University of Hawaii Rainbow Warriors football team.
Aloha Stadium's Current State
However, time has taken its toll on Aloha Stadium. No longer the state-of-the-art facility it once was, the stadium has seen better days. Its moveable sections, once a marvel of engineering, are now obsolete.
Plans for a New Aloha Stadium
Recognizing the need for a modern sports venue, the University of Hawaii and the state government have been working together to develop plans for a new Aloha Stadium. In a significant step forward, Governor David Ige recently signed off on a $400 million plan to fund the construction of the new stadium.
Key Features of the New Aloha Stadium

Ching Athletics Complex: A Temporary Home
While the new Aloha Stadium is being built, the University of Hawaii Rainbow Warriors football team will temporarily relocate to the Ching Athletics Complex on the campus of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa in Honolulu. The Ching Athletics Complex features a three-story building with an all-purpose track.
Conclusion
The construction of a new Aloha Stadium is a major step forward for Hawaii's sports scene. The new stadium will provide a modern and vibrant venue for the University of Hawaii Rainbow Warriors football team and other sporting events, bringing excitement and entertainment to the community for years to come.
