As we bid farewell to Aloha Stadium this year, we remember our iconic outdoor arena, which was home to everything from University of Hawai‘i football games, tailgating, concerts and shows. Mahalo to The Hawai‘i Herald readers who shared some of their favorite memories at our beloved stadium.

“Finally got to meet my cousin Scott Chan, Director of the Aloha Stadium. He kept the clock from the old scoreboard when they bought the new Jumbotron to preserve a bit of stadium history in the hallways,” Colin Sewake, July 27, 2016. (Photo courtesy of Colin Sewake)

“As an alumni, I hung out with cadets from UH Air Force ROTC Detachment 175, who would run onto the field and do push ups every time UH scored a touchdown. I used to be in the Color Guard and carried the American flag at home football games in the early 1990s,” Colin Sewake at the UH vs Rice September 2018 game. (Photo courtesy of Colin Sewake)
