No surprise there.

I didn't watch the video, but read the printed story. I don't live in Hawaii anymore but I still pay GE Tax, so I can throw in my 2 cents.

Please don't build it at Ala Wai, that soil is weak. I recall when they build the Naru Tower at Ala Moana, they would pound on pylon and it just drops down like nothihng. So they pound one more and one more. Ok, so that building is still standing, and Waikiki and Kakaako have gone mad with buildings. So I guess that's a non-issue with modern engineering. But still, there a reason by Waikiki is not a pond anymore. If the Ala Wai location is selected, how is the Manoa rain suppose to flow?

Too much construction already, wait, so guys get work later. Finish the Rail first (whatever that means). Other wise, when the Kakaako boom is over, Rail is done, guys not going to get jobs, then do nothing, drugs, crime, etc.

Build it at the current site. At one time, that was far. Stadium was built near nowhere. No one like going Pearlridge cause too far. Now, Halawa is in-town cause still Honolulu

bench seating or stadium seating? that is the biggest question.

It was interesting that UH Manoa was considered to be one of the sites. I can't imagine the campus having the real estate to accommodate even a 35K stadium plus parking. It would have been good for the student section for sure though. Also I believe that the Ala Wai golf course is still the most played on the island so if that was picked for the new stadium that may have upset a lot of people. I'm okay with with it at the current location. And yes I'm curious to see what type of seating will be selected as well. Bench seating will be bad for my okole.

At the Arizona stadium (UA), the cheap seats are bench, way up high. It's horribly uncomfortable. Not on the okole (for me), but the back. Yes, cost is the boss, but don't do that please.

Best case scenario is five years. That would be awesome. In a couple of years the staff can use that as a recruiting tool

You talking the state of Hawaii, where they couldn't even get the softball stadium and Soccer Complex at Ching Field done right and on time.

A new Stadium will complete the trifecta along with the H3 and Rail

Don't you know, it's going to be on budget and on time.

I hate bench seating everywhere and I hope we don't do that. It makes sense for a football-only stadium but if you are going to have concerts there in the future you need bucket seats. Hopefully the bucket seats are bigger/better than those at the Rose Bowl, which was the worst stadium I have ever been to...

I'm not all that "American" but American size seats please. Some are so small that they no fit. I like my fellow sports fan brothers, but no like sitting so close sometimes.

seems like every "new" stadium is like that now with super tiny seats, which is weird because there are so many husky football fans (myself included!). It is one of the many reasons why i refuse to ever attend anymore NFL games. Aloha Stadium seats are probably the most comfortable I've ever sat in.

Could they recycle the seats?

[cabanalane]

It's like if they made the seats 95% size, they save $2.98 million dollars, and able to add an extra 547 seats. At $60 per ticket + overpriced hotdogs, that's all winning..
