On breakaway day, the Warriors played fastbreak football.
The Warriors are scheduled to depart this evening in advance of the season opener against Colorado State in Fort Collins, Colo.
Today, the Warriors practiced at an accelerated pace, punctuated with a 2-minute drill, in anticipation of playing in Fort Collins’ 5,003-foot elevation. It is part of a ritual throughout preseason training in which the Warriors ran “gassers” — sideline-to-sideline sprints — each practice.

St- Is Cole and Chevan still splitting reps. Who did better at the 2 minute drill?
Go Warriors! Beat the lambs!!
Mr. A-House, your idea not going work cause TOO EXPENSIVE to build that way. It has to be something that can be paid for.
Does anyone still have A-Joe’s picture where he superimposed the Boise Stadium (I think) on Ching Field?
“Take the Points” …..
ALOHA ALL / BE SAFE …..
LIVE ALOHA / PLAY WARRIOR / DEFEND THE ROCK … GO ‘BOWS … !!!!!

my comment was produce ideas that will work toward supporting an “on-campus” stadium
everything is “too expensive” from groceries to cars to houses to air tickets to food to — just add to the list!
Time to get lucky! Luck is being prepared for your chance to do well! Gee’um Braddah!!
Touched down in Denver this am. Headed to Fort Collins tomorrow-stay safe out there, wishing for the best-GoWarriors!!!
Mr. A-House, your idea is an engineering and cost nightmare. I’d like to see an on-campus stadium in my lifetime, the clearest path is the simplest design.
Hawaii’s architects and engineers can produce cost-effective designs, but the problem has been in the execution. Plus politics often spoils the soup.
we have traveled to many cities in the USA and abroad to see how buildings were erected above highways, etc.
perhaps an eye to “how ” to rather then “no can” will be helpful
Traffic will be a problem wherever they build a new UH stadium. Put it at UHWO and it’ll be gridlock with one way in, one way out on H-1. Did you experience being in gridlock on Dillingham near Iwilei Costco yesterday? Friend spent one hour stuck in Kapalama trying to go home after pau hana.
Build a 45,000 seat on-campus stadium (with luxury boxes and no track inside). Restrict Dole Street traffic to only public busses with fans parking at Ala Wai, Iolani, Kaimuki HS, KCC, etc. Nevah mind trying to attract the Pro Bowl, again!
End of rant. Go Warriors!!
Mufi’s Choo-Choo will solve any, and all traffic problems. The proof is in the poi!
Mr. A-House, building above highway, yes. A whole stadium? Just the foundation will cost more than trying to build a stadium on ground. Why do this the hard and expensive way? I no understand.
Plus – how much will it cost to condemn all the land in the Varsity Circle area? Again, why do this the hard way?
burro:
then, unless UH builds a stadium in West Oahu campus, an on-campus stadium is truly out of the question
Hey!! Is there a gathering of Tsaikos to watch the game tomorrow? I live in the Moiliili/Kapahulu area and would enjoy getting together to root on the Warriors! But I don’t get out much, so would appreciate any suggestions on where to go, and especially if we are gathering somewhere in town! Let me know. MAHALO!!! 🏈🍺🤙
Sorry – so excited for the season to start I moved it up a day. Any gathering on Saturday to watch the game?
A-House’s suggestion of going over the freeway is possible, but I suggest building a “lid” from Dole Street over parts of the quarry to fit a football stadium and be level with Dole Street and utilize existing roads and freeway. It does not have go over the freeway. This could also cover the softball stadium.
I have been to “Lid park” on Mercer Island, Seattle:

A stadium will fit in the quarry and UH controls all the land. West Oahu is NOT an on-campus stadium.
SteveM, the Lid looks nice but it doesn’t support a few hundred tons of a concrete stadium. One problem is that H-1 is elevated in the area being talked about.
No one said the softball field and the tennis courts can’t be touched. UH screwed up the Ching Field money. They could have used this to be the start of an on-campus stadium but no one could think that far ahead.
City and County? State?……. Just semantics in this situation. They should share the burden and the profits as one entity. Maybe more manageable that way. Anyway better than a private owner of a Stadium here. My opinion.
