so reading this, are they still reserving the circle lots around the stadium for "pass" holders that bought those stalls for the regular season games? Or is that free for all and open to the public?

here's the updated parking map that came with the press release: https://alohastadium.hawaii.gov/wp-cont ... public.pdf

the reserved area appears to be zoned differently than it has been for the regular season games.
