I’m in agreement with a stadium between 35,000-40,000. There are currently some schools in the big5 conferences who range in the 35-40thousand seating capacity.

35,000 would be ideal. But if it’s in West Oahu nobody will go. Way too far from the most populous areas. Not with HD television available and the costs of season tickets, parking, food….

Aloha Stadium needs to go and be replaced with a smaller venue. There is no financial logic in having that current facility for the hope that it would be full 8 times a year AT MOST. Tear it down, build something new in the 30K to 35K range, and be pragmatic. Make it concert and other event friendly, and we have a great new venue that makes sense on an island with a population of less than 1 million.

…to between 36,000 to 38,000 with some years bumping up to even 40,000 when the Warriors are putting together a 10-2 type season. Winning brings the fans to games. Planningt for 30,000 is absurd.

Here is a history of UH football average attendance for years

2001 – 36,245
2002 – 38,759
2003 – 41,307
2004 – 36,343
2005 – 32,734
2006 – 36,588
2007 – 43,514
2008 – 40,337
2009 – 36,724
2010 – 36,401
2011 – 31,784
2012 – 30,113

This data strongly suggests a new 30,000 seat stadium is shortsighted. In a year when the Warriors went 1-11, the average attendance was 30,113. A winning program will restore average attendance

It’s too bad there isn’t enough public support for the Aloha Stadium. Economically not possible for the public to support Aloha Stadium. But still, can the AD at UH really bill the public for having a Norm Chow to be paid? Not even!
