Where ever the stadium is built for what ever costs, if the UH Football team plays there, proceeds from concessions and UH gear sales should go to the Warriors program.

Please, include UH in the planning and the proceeds from all components of development there.

Great Morning All!

We love the sport but at what point does the damage outweigh the “sportiness”? 🙁

I’m sure the stadium authority has the numbers but I would like to see the total number of events that are held at the stadium each year excluding the swap meet. It seems like there are very little events outside of UH and high school football games. With that said we need to accommodate UH more than the rest of the events. Concerts are rarely held there and there are the occasional band competition and graduation ceremony. Once in a blue moon we get the national soccer team to come or some bigger sports event.

Building a new stadium is a means, not an end.

#20 … I agree with you on what is happening, I am just saying the approach seems unwise and UH should have a say in the planning of a new football stadium. If the stadium is to be a relatively minor player in a broad community redevelopment effort, I don’t understand why the Stadium Authority would take the lead. It seems like the new stadium is just an excuse for a big development project. But the new stadium is the reason for the project. And while pursuing a planning strategy that doesn’t engage the primary user is probably not unique, I don’t think it provides a high probability of success.

UH has no say in the building of a new stadium, the Stadium Authority does. They will serve as the vehicle to promote a master plan concept for the redevelopment of this property. A plan that will focus on developing a new shopping complex with condos and perhaps a small hotel. That’s why they are zeroing in on a smaller stadium because they need the property to pursue the development this shopping-visitor complex that will tie into the rail. This concept has already been pitched.

I wonder when the Stadium Authority (and UH) will ask season ticket holders what they are looking for in a new stadium. I wonder what was wrong with the last study they funded. This new one sounds pretty much the same (smaller), but without the explicit pitches for mostly bench seating with luxury boxes. But then that may be what “would create a more intimate environment significantly improving the fan experience, reduce operating costs and facilitate an efficient and more economical design.” means. I hope UH chooses to reach out to season ticket holders, and considers the long term ramifications of having a 30,000 – 35,000 seat football stadium. … http://www.staradvertiser.com/2017/01/12/sports/sports-breaking/aloha-stadium-authority-proposing-new-smaller-stadium/
