Guud Morning Tsaikos…Bootiful Day!

#15…I remember that selling point also. I’d like to meet the salesman who closed the stadium deal. He did a magnificent job! It’s like selling a desalination plant in the middle of a desert. Next he will be advising the Stadium Authority that they are compromising the structure by removing the rust. You see the rust is holding hands and if you remove it, then….

“Rust will actually strengthen the stadium’s structure, over the years. That, along with the moving stands will make Aloha Stadium the top facility in the nation.”

I actually remember taking a tour of Aloha Stadium while still under construction back in the early 70s and still remember these words.

Doi in left and Fogel in right. If you don’t count the first six games, where Doi went hitless, he is hitting at a decent clip. He also had hits in consecutive games when inserted as a pinch hitter.

It’ll be interesting to see who Coach Trapasso starts in right-field today.

Last night’s game will be the NCAA Tournament Baseball Committee’s excuse to exclude Hawaii from the field of 64 as an at-large team.

“Oh, but they lost to that team at home who is sub-200.”

I recently read Naomi Klein’s “This Changes Everything” which laid down the relationship between capitalism and climate, and rail systems is one of the main problem solvers in regard to cutting down carbon emissions, but our rail doesn’t go where I want it to go.

It was decided long ago by North Korea and friends to nuke Manoa Valley and Waikiki. So I think those in the know are holding off, and one reason why they built a West Campus…

#9, lol, you are giving the city and county of Honolulu and for that matter the state of Hawaii (since they hold the purse strings) way too much credit about completing the rail in 2072. I was thinking more in the neighborhood of 3025.

Kaimuki High School would be the perfect place for the stadium. The school’s enrollment has dropped drastically in the last decade and is about 400 students behind Kalani and Kaiser so it would make sense to close the school down. UH and the DOE could do a land swap with part of the UHWO campus being traded to build a new high school. Aloha Stadium would then be opened fully to transit oriented development that could help fund both the stadium and the new school. There are much more ingress/egress routes at that Kaimuki location than on lower campus. Date street could be widened towards the golf course side to 6 lanes with 2 full-time parking lanes. Another idea would be to build a pedestrian trail along the western side of the golf course and then build a pedestrian bridge over the Ala Wai at an angle so that it connects to the Lewers Street intersection. The stadium site could have around 4500 parking stalls, and combine that with the 6,000+ Saturday stalls with shuttle service that UH Manoa would have you’d easily have more parking opportunities than the current stadium site(less than 8,000). If you needed more places to park, you’d have the 1,300 spaces at KCC, plus military members could park at the Hale Koa and Fort Derussy and make the trek through Lewers, across the pedestrian bridge, and to the stadium. The Zoo and Kapiolani Park could be a spot if you could find parking. Since UH Manoa is kind of an all day parking area, you could get your tailgate on much earlier than you could at No Aloha. If UH managed this stadium the 4500 cars could also get there much earlier, thus easing the traffic problems. With the pedestrian bridge, non-tailgating fans can go to the bars/restaurants and catch all of the early games. For those looking to park at KCC, they can enjoy the farmer’s market. There also shouldn’t be a real big adjustment to bus service as Kaimuki High school and UH Manoa already have several stops. UH could even start a shuttle service from the mall to the stadium to promote TheBus ridership over taking your car. In 2072, when the rail opens at Ala Moana, UH could increase the shuttle service.
