I thought they were supposed to start as soon as spring camp was done and that is why it was held early,
I don’t know. Who knows. Not even sure the state and the university knows. I just know what my friend on the track team told me that they were told that they were gonna let the track and field season finish before starting work.
They should know
They should and yet 🤷‍♂️

it's been long enough for the stadium authority to deliver the scoreboard to Manoa. it seems as if their disdain for anything to do with the u.h. football team has made them against providing the scoreboard to Manoa.
As has been consistently explained to me by UH Lower Campus insiders, it is UH (not the Aloha Stadium Authority) who is coordinating with the video scoreboard manufacturer representative along with their architectural/engineering consultant team to arrange (i.e., contract services & schedule) for the disassembly & removal of the entire existing video scoreboard assembly (which consists of multiple individual smaller video screens) from the Aloha Stadium and it's transport to Ching Field for re-assembly & installation (including new structural framing & mounting supports) along with associated cabling & re-programming integration with the Ching Field public address sound system.

How many more seats will TC Ching need to have to comply with the D1 "requirements?" Just expand/fix up Ching and call it done. Work seems to happen rather quickly over there. Maybe Ching family and UH can work together better than the Stadium Authority?

To be honest, do we expect 30K+ to attend UH football games? We can point to the old days, but I don't think interest in football is like the old days, and I don't think it has to do with W vs L.

It would suck to spend $XXX million and then attendance is 14,973 to watch Small Boy Chang as the UH quarterback, after the excitement of a new building dies down.

Work happening quickly cause all it is metal bleachers. Not really difficult to build.

Hate to say this but if we think small we will always be small. While we at it let's shut down the entire athletic program. Cause they're not surviving at the Division 1 level without the football program. Staying at Ching permanently is a death sentence.

New Aloha Stadium is more than just UH football its for concerts, graduations, high school football games and other events.
