What’s weird is that Punahou wanted the game at that time, on their home field. If it was a strategic decision, it didn’t seem to give them an advantage.TheNewNORM wrote: ↑Thu Oct 07, 2021 1:47 pm Why? Because the first meeting was at Punahou, 90 degree, hot afternoon, blinding sun. Plus Pun is behind the 8 ball.
@TheNewNORM: But didn't the 90-degree heat and blinding sun affect the Saints equally? And, shouldn't the Puns have had a home-field advantage?TheNewNORM wrote: ↑Thu Oct 07, 2021 1:47 pm Why?

Iolani wrote an article explaining why they don't install lights. The article made the mistake of thinking we are like Kamehameha and play games at night. Fact is, we never have and don't install lights for the same reason Iolani refuses.HS Football Fanatic wrote: ↑Thu Oct 07, 2021 9:31 pm @gopunahou: Well, that's true. That's because Punahou School's stadium doesn't have lights. Same for Iolani School's stadium.
I dont think any area of Honolulu can support a night venue without some NB drama.gopunahou wrote: ↑Thu Oct 07, 2021 11:51 pmIolani wrote an article explaining why they don't install lights.

They did have night games when the stadium opened in 2002.HS Football Fanatic wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 4:52 pm @gopunahou: Apparently Kamehameha Schools didn't get the memo. Actually, that school has had a stadium, with lights, since at least the mid-'70s. But, they never had night games there. It wasn't until they totally renovated the stadium in 2012 or so, that they started having night games there.
I think it’s neighborhood board.HS Football Fanatic wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 4:53 pm@TheNewNORM: What's "NB"?TheNewNORM wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 6:09 amI dont think any area of Honolulu can support a night venue without some NB drama.
@gopunahou: Oh, it opened that long ago?

I think KSK can play night games because the stadium is in an isolated area of Kalihi. We've got people living across the street or near our campus.
@ChadFukuoka: Oh, yeah, you're probably right. Iolani School is right next to the Royal Iolani twin condo towers, and the residents of those towers raised a big stink back in the '80s about noise coming from the school. They even complained about the band practicing for football halftime performances. McKinley High more recently ran into conflict with the Moana Pacific twin condo towers, which are right across the street from the school's new football field, which was completed only about three or four years ago. McKinley High wanted to have a lit stadium and night games at the field, but Moana Pacific residents complained that there'd be on-street parking issues. To this day, McKinley High doesn't have a lit stadium, and has no night games.ChadFukuoka wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 5:42 pmI think it’s neighborhood board.HS Football Fanatic wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 4:53 pm@TheNewNORM: What's "NB"?TheNewNORM wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 6:09 am

Believe me, for many reasons, I'd love to see Punahou play night games. I also know the reasons behind it not happening. However, I don't understand how Castle and Mililani can play night games while we can't.HS Football Fanatic wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 6:08 pm@ChadFukuoka: Oh, yeah, you're probably right.

Most of the OIA schools have lights. Aiea, Leilehua, Campbell, Pearl City, Waipahu, Kapolei, Kaiser, Roosevelt, Kailua, Kahuku, Farrington all have lights. I think McKinley might be the only OIA school with their own field that doesn’t have lights. I can’t think of any others.gopunahou wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 6:57 pmBelieve me, for many reasons, I'd love to see Punahou play night games. I also know the reasons behind it not happening.
