Hawaii is not a second-class state — we deserve a first-class stadium. We don’t have a pro team, so University of Hawaii sports are it.
From the original 50,000-seat Aloha Stadium at Halawa, the way-past-last-minute, knee-jerk, about-face plan is to basically tear up Ching stadium in Manoa again and cram a 25,000-seat stadium into that teeny-tiny, already crowded overflowing space.
Granted, money is a consideration, but this is like a temporary problem forced into a permanent, terrible solution that will stand for decades. The cost and disruption at UH to start over with this new plan will result in a monstrosity built with ti leaves and pasted together with poi.
