how about a Dave Shoji Shrine

I think Coach Price will do well at UH. He is someone who really wants to be here.

First, buy out the businesses on the block where the old Honolulu stadium sits such that the space to build would include Bowl-O-Drome, that back area and the block from the back entrance to the current park to King Street. Also, take over the little used McCully Library.

Build dorms with parking on the lower levels and dorms on the top in the Bowl-o-Drome area and the back toward the Ewa side. That would serve as buffers to residents who may complain about noise. Build the stadium where Honolulu Stadium was only build it to hold 40k and in almost the same configuration as the old stadium. In the area where the businesses now sit build a commercial area the butts up to the back of the stadium such that people entering or exiting the stadium could use a concourse as an alternative taking advantage of the retail spaces (eateries, Rainbowtique, etc.. all with proceeds that would go to support the UH facility. Change the road configuration such that the existing library would be razed and the (Waikiki-Mauka) street would be reconfigured to butt up against the existing McDonalds. The street and part of the old library would be used to also erect parking and dorms.

During the day, the parking could generate revenue by chopping up spaces for monthly park & ride, UH faculty parking, student parking, etc., the rest could be for the retail outlets.

Finally, to make use of the stadium have some to book concerts, events like the State Fair, Winter Baseball, etc., to create an income stream.

With the dorms right there, I believe there would be almost no problem getting a filled student section. You’d have a lot of parking but no tailgating (a sacrifice), but the eateries and bars in the complex would be happy.

This will never happen, but I believe it could probably an alternative if there was a ton of money to do it.
