'''Aloha Stadium''' was a [[multi-purpose stadium]] in [[Hālawa, Hawaii]], a census-designated place that is a western suburb of [[Honolulu]].<ref name="Halawa CDP, Hawaii">{{cite web|url=https://www2.census.gov/geo/maps/dc10map/GUBlock/st15_hi/place/p1510000_halawa/DC10BLK_P1510000_001.pdf|title=2010 CENSUS - CENSUS BLOCK MAP: Halawa CDP, HI|publisher=[[U.S. Census Bureau]]|access-date=October 8, 2020}}</ref> It is the largest stadium in the state of [[Hawaii]].  {{asof|2020|12}}, the stadium ceased fan-attended operations indefinitely, and placed a moratorium on the scheduling of new events.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.hawaiitribune-herald.com/2020/12/17/sports/aloha-stadium-says-goodbye-to-uh/ |title=Aloha Stadium says goodbye to UH |first1=Jason |last1=Kaneshiro |first2=Nina |last2=Wu |agency=Tribune News Service |website=hawaiitribune-herald.com |date=December 17, 2020 |access-date=January 23, 2021}}</ref> It is located next to the [[Hālawa station]] of the [[Skyline (Honolulu)|Skyline]] rail system. It is set to be replaced by a 22,500 seat multi-purpose stadium for the University of Hawai{{okina}}i Rainbow Warriors football program, with demolition of the old stadium to begin in late August 2025. It will replace, and be constructed on the site of, the current Aloha Stadium.

Aloha Stadium served as home to the [[University of Hawai{{okina}}i at Mānoa|University of Hawai{{okina}}i]] [[Hawaii Rainbow Warriors football|Rainbow Warriors]] [[American football|football]] team ([[Mountain West Conference]], [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA]] [[NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision|Division I FBS]]) for the 1975 through 2020 seasons. It also hosted [[college football]]'s [[Hawaii Bowl|Hawai{{okina}}i Bowl]] (2002–2019) and [[Hula Bowl]] (1976–1997, 2006–2008, 2020–2021), and formerly was home to the [[National Football League]]'s [[Pro Bowl]] from 1980 through 2016 (except in 2010 and 2015). It also hosted numerous high school football games, and served as a venue for large concerts and events, including high school graduation ceremonies. The stadium was home field for the [[AAA (baseball)|AAA]] [[Hawaii Islanders]] of the [[Pacific Coast League]] (PCL) from 1975 to 1987, before the [[Colorado Springs Sky Sox|team]] moved to [[Colorado Springs, Colorado|Colorado Springs]]. Frequent [[flea market|swap meet]]s in the stadium's parking lot often draw large crowds.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.alohastadiumswapmeet.net/Contents/AboutUs.asp |title=Hawaii's premier Aloha Stadium Swap Meet an Outdoor Market in Hawaii&#124;Aloha Outdoor Market, Flea Markets and Swap meet for shopping in Honolulu |publisher=Alohastadiumswapmeet.net |date=September 12, 1975 |access-date=July 16, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090531123144/http://alohastadiumswapmeet.net/Contents/AboutUs.asp |archive-date=May 31, 2009 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

==History==
[[File:AlohastadiumsatUSGS.png|thumb|left|Aerial view in baseball/soccer configuration]]
[[File:Hawaii's abandoned Aloha Stadium view from above.jpg|thumb|left|Aerial view in football configuration]]

Before 1975, Honolulu's main outdoor stadium had been [[Honolulu Stadium]], a wooden stadium on King Street.  However, it had reached the end of its useful life by the 1960s, and was well below the standards for [[Triple-A (baseball)|Triple-A baseball]].  The need for a new stadium was hastened by the move of the [[Hawaii Rainbows football]] program to [[NCAA Division I]].  Located west of downtown Honolulu and {{convert|2|mi}} north of [[Honolulu International Airport]], Aloha Stadium was constructed in 1975 at a cost of $37&nbsp;million. Constructed of steel, the stadium was nicknamed the "Metal Mecca".<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.kacmedia.com/post/metal-mecca-aloha-stadium-closed-indefinitely |title='Metal Mecca' Aloha Stadium Closed Indefinitely |first=Kurt |last=Crowley |website=kacmedia.com |date=December 20, 2020 |access-date=February 1, 2021}}</ref> The baseball field was aligned north-northwest (home plate to centerfield), as was the football field.

The first sporting event at Aloha Stadium was a [[college football]] game between Hawaii and [[Texas A&M–Kingsville Javelinas football|Texas A&I]] (now Texas A&M-Kingsville) on September 13, 1975.<ref name=crushop/> Played on Saturday night, the crowd was 32,247,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.alohastadiumswapmeet.net/Contents/AboutUs.asp |title=Aloha Stadium Swap Meet "About Us" page |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090531123144/http://alohastadiumswapmeet.net/Contents/AboutUs.asp |archive-date=May 31, 2009 |website=alohastadiumswapmeet.net}}</ref> and the visitors prevailed, {{nowrap|43–9.<ref name=crushop/>}}

The final sporting event held in Aloha Stadium was the [[2021 Hula Bowl]]. The last points scored at Aloha Stadium were a “pick 6” touchdown scored by [[Carlo Kemp]] of the [[University of Michigan]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.si.com/college/michigan/football/michigan-football-carlo-kemp-jim-harbaugh-wolverines-hula-bowl-mvp-touchdown-pick-six|title=Carlo Kemp Shows Off The Jets, Takes Home MVP Award|first=Brandon|last=Brown|website=Sports Illustrated|date=February 2, 2021 }}</ref>

The stadium was somewhat problematic for its initial primary tenant, the [[minor league baseball]] [[Hawaii Islanders]]. Located in south-central Oahu, it was far from the team's fan base in [[Mōʻiliʻili, Hawaii|Mōʻiliʻili]], and many were unwilling to make the drive. Additionally, while local [[public transportation]] ([[TheBus (Honolulu)|TheBus]]) stopped at the main gate of Honolulu Stadium, the stop for Aloha Stadium was located some distance from the gate.  As a result, attendance plummeted and never really recovered—a major factor in the franchise's ultimate move to the mainland.<ref name=Advertiser>{{cite news |last=Kaneshiro |first=Stacy |url=https://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2009/Jul/04/sp/hawaii907040333.html |title=Islanders a fan hit during 27-year run |newspaper=The Honolulu Advertiser |date=July 4, 2009}}</ref>

Additionally, stadium management initially refused to allow the use of [[Cleat (shoe)#Baseball|metal spikes]] on the [[AstroTurf]]. During a game in early May 1976, the starting pitcher for the [[Tacoma Rainiers|Tacoma Twins]], [[Bill Butler (pitcher)|Bill Butler]], wore metal spikes to comply with a directive from Tacoma's parent club.<ref name=forfeit>{{cite news |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/68372453/islanders-forfeit-by-2-feet/ |title=Islanders forfeit by 2 feet |first=Ferd |last=Borsch |newspaper=[[The Honolulu Advertiser]] |page=1 |date=May 8, 1976 |access-date=January 23, 2021 |via=newspapers.com}}</ref> In response, stadium management turned off the center field lights, and after 35 minutes, umpires forfeited the game to the Twins.<ref name=forfeit/> The Islanders protested, claiming they had no control over the lights.<ref name=forfeit/> However, the [[Pacific Coast League]] (PCL) sided with the Twins, citing a league rule that the home team is responsible for providing acceptable playing facilities.<ref name=Advertiser/><ref>{{cite news |last=Stewart |first=Chuck |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1338&dat=19760901&id=KfpLAAAAIBAJ&pg=4981,314263 |title=Sport Stew |newspaper=[[Spokane Daily Chronicle]] |location=Spokane, Washington |date=September 1, 1976 |via=[[Google News]] |page=35}}</ref> After the teams ended the season in a tie for first in the PCL's Western Division, Hawaii won a one-game playoff in Tacoma.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/68372964/salt-lake-and-hawaii-open-pcl-title-go/ |title=Salt Lake and Hawaii open PCL title go |agency=[[Associated Press|AP]] |newspaper=[[Peninsula Daily News]] |location=[[Port Angeles, Washington]] |page=10 |date=September 8, 1976 |access-date=January 23, 2021 |via=newspapers.com}}</ref>
As originally built, Aloha Stadium had various configurations for different sport venues and other purposes. Four movable 7,000-seat sections, each {{convert|3.5|e6lbs}}<ref name="capacity" /> could move using [[air caster]]s into a diamond configuration for baseball (also used for soccer), an oval for football, or a triangle for concerts.  In January 2007, the stadium was permanently locked into its football configuration due to cost and maintenance issues.<ref>{{cite news

===Concerns===
There were numerous discussions with Hawaii lawmakers who were concerned with the physical condition of the stadium. There were also several issues regarding rusting of the facility, several hundred seats that need to be replaced, and restroom facilities that need to be expanded to accommodate more patrons.<ref name="rust" />  Much of the rust was due to building the stadium with [[weathering steel]].  U.S. Steel Corporation suggested the steel would develop a protective patina that would eliminate the need for painting.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://law.justia.com/cases/hawaii/supreme-court/1996/17695-2.html| title=STATE BY BRONSTER v. US Steel Corp.}}</ref> However, given Honolulu's ocean-salt-laden climate, the steel never stopped rusting.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Lewis |first1=Ferd |title=Aloha Stadium seeks $7.7M or it might have to close sections |url=https://www.staradvertiser.com/2020/02/04/sports/aloha-stadium-seeks-7-7m-or-it-might-have-to-close-sections/ |access-date=January 2, 2021 |work=[[Honolulu Star-Advertiser]] |date=February 4, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Honolulu Star-Bulletin Breaking Stories |url=http://archives.starbulletin.com/96/06/25/news/briefs.html |access-date=January 2, 2021 |work=[[Honolulu Star-Bulletin]] |date=June 25, 1996}}</ref>

A 2005 study by Honolulu engineering firm [[Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc.]] determined that the stadium required $99 million to be completely restored and an additional $115 million for ongoing maintenance and refurbishment over the next 20 years to extend its useful life.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2007/May/11/ln/FP705110373.html |title=Stadium rust to get $12.4M treatment |newspaper=The Honolulu Advertiser |date=May 11, 2007 |access-date=July 16, 2009}}</ref>  In early 2007, the state legislature proposed to spend $300&nbsp;million to build a new facility as opposed to spending approximately $216&nbsp;million to extend the life of Aloha Stadium for another {{nowrap|20–30}} years.

One council member said that if immediate repairs were not made within the next seven years, then the stadium would probably have to be demolished due to safety concerns. In May 2007, the state allotted $12.4&nbsp;million to be used towards removing corrosion and rust from the structure.<ref>{{cite news

===Expansion and improvements===
In 2003, the stadium surface was changed from [[AstroTurf]] (which had been in place since the stadium opened) to [[FieldTurf]].<ref name="turf" /> In July 2011, the field was replaced with an [[Act Global]] UBU Sports Speed S5-M synthetic turf system.

In 2008, the state of Hawaii approved the bill of $185 million to refurbish the aging Aloha Stadium.<ref name="$135 million">{{cite news|title=Hawaii stadium to get $185M overhaul; UH expands pay-per-view package |first=Brandon |last=Masuoka |url=http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2008/Jun/27/ln/hawaii806270385.html |newspaper=[[Honolulu Advertiser]] |issn=1072-7191 |oclc=8807414 |date=June 27, 2008 |access-date=February 4, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111125015148/http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2008/Jun/27/ln/hawaii806270385.html |archive-date=November 25, 2011 |url-status=live }}</ref>  In 2010, Aloha Stadium completely retrofitted its scoreboard and video screen to be more up to date with its high definition capability. The Aloha Stadium Authority planned to add more luxury suites, replacing all seats, rusting treatments, parking lots, more restrooms, pedestrian bridge supports, an enclosed lounge, and more. There was also a proposal that would have enclosed the four openings in the corners of the stadium to add more seats.

[[File:Hawaii's abandoned Aloha Stadium view from upper deck.jpg|thumb|View from upper deck in 2024]]
In 2011, the playing field was refurbished in part due to a naming rights sponsorship from [[Hawaiian Airlines]]. As a result of the sponsorship deal, the field was referred to as Hawaiian Airlines Field at Aloha Stadium.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://sponsorpitch.com/articles/2496 |title=Hawaiian Airlines Grabs Naming Rights To Aloha Stadium Field; SponsorPitch; 08-04-2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111117190626/http://sponsorpitch.com/articles/2496 |url-status=live |archive-date=November 17, 2011}}</ref> The airline did not renew sponsorship after the deal expired in 2016. As a result, the field went unnamed until late August, when [[Hawaiian Tel Federal Credit Union]] signed a three-year $275,000 agreement. As of 2016, the field was known as Hawaiian Tel Federal Credit Union Field at Aloha Stadium.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.staradvertiser.com/business/business-breaking/credit-union-buys-naming-rights-for-aloha-stadium-field/ |title=Credit union buys naming rights for Aloha Stadium field |date=August 26, 2016 |newspaper=Honolulu Star-Advertiser |access-date=August 26, 2016}}</ref>

In early 2017, there was a study in the ''[[Honolulu Star-Advertiser]]'' about replacing Aloha Stadium due to safety concerns and a liability risk. The plan was then to build a smaller 30,000 seat stadium on the existing property and also build commercial development around the stadium. In theory, this would save the state millions of dollars instead of renovating and keep the existing stadium as it was.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.staradvertiser.com/2014/06/26/sports/study-recommends-smaller-venue-to-replace-aloha-stadium/ |title=Study recommends smaller venue to replace Aloha Stadium |newspaper=Honolulu Star-Advertiser |access-date=August 8, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.staradvertiser.com/2017/04/05/sports/sports-breaking/report-aloha-stadium-a-potential-danger-to-public/ |title=Report: Aloha Stadium now a 'liability,' cheaper to build new stadium |newspaper=Honolulu Star-Advertiser |access-date=August 8, 2018}}</ref>

In July 2019, [[Governor of Hawaii]] [[David Ige]] signed Act 268 into law, appropriating $350 million for an Aloha Stadium redevelopment project. The funds were to go toward the construction of a new stadium and land development, including a mixed-use sports and entertainment complex.<ref>{{cite news | url = https://www.bizjournals.com/pacific/news/2019/07/09/gov-ige-signs-bill-appropriating-350m-to-aloha-s.html?ana=RSS&s=article_search| title = Gov.

===Closure to new events===
A December 17, 2020, announcement by the Aloha Stadium Authority stated that the stadium would be ceasing fan-attended operations indefinitely. The closure was related to financial issues caused by the [[COVID-19 pandemic in Hawaii|COVID-19 pandemic]]. The stadium, built in 1975, was also plagued by maintenance issues in recent years. A 2019 story from the ''[[Honolulu Star-Advertiser]]'' noted that the stadium needed $30 million in repairs. [[KHON-TV]] reported that the stadium would be condemned and was deemed unsafe to hold any crowds at all.<ref name=closure></ref><ref>{{Cite news|last=Bromberg|first=Nick|date=December 17, 2020|title=Hawaii without a home stadium after Aloha Stadium, a former Pro Bowl site, reportedly will be condemned|url=https://sports.yahoo.com/hawaii-without-a-home-stadium-after-aloha-stadium-the-former-site-of-the-pro-bowl-gets-condemned-003256715.html|access-date=December 19, 2020|work=Yahoo Sports|language=en-US}}</ref> The scheduling of new events was also halted.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/dec/18/new-events-halted-at-aloha-stadium-over-virus-budg/ |title=New events halted at Aloha Stadium over virus, budget issues |agency=[[Associated Press|AP]] |website=[[The Washington Times]] |date=December 18, 2020 |access-date=January 23, 2021}}</ref> In January 2021, the University of Hawaii announced that the Rainbow Warriors football team would play their home games on campus "for at least the next three years".<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2021/01/11/uh-play-home-games-campus-following-aloha-stadium-fallout/ |title='Bows to play football home games on campus after Aloha Stadium fallout |first=Kyle |last=Chinen |website=hawaiinewsnow.com |date=January 11, 2021 |access-date=January 23, 2021}}</ref>

====College football====
Aloha Stadium served as the home field of the [[Hawaii Rainbow Warriors football|Hawaii Rainbow Warriors]] [[college football]] program, representing the [[University of Hawai{{okina}}i at Mānoa]], from 1975 through 2020.

The [[Hula Bowl]], a college football all-star game, was first played at the stadium in January 1976 and returned to the stadium annually through 1997. It was again held at Aloha Stadium in 2006–2008 and 2020–2021. The [[2021 Hula Bowl]] was the last football game held at the facility before the halting of new events.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.staradvertiser.com/2021/01/31/sports/hula-bowl-could-be-aloha-for-stadium/ |title=Hula Bowl could be 'aloha' for stadium |first=Stephen |last=Tsai |website=[[Honolulu Star-Advertiser]] |date=January 31, 2021 |access-date=January 31, 2021}}</ref>

Three team-competitive college football [[bowl games]] were held annually at the stadium: the [[Aloha Bowl]] (1982–2000), [[Oahu Bowl]] (1998–2000), and [[Hawaii Bowl]] (2002–2019). The Hawaii Rainbow Warriors appeared in the Hawaii Bowl nine times and the other two bowl games once each.

In August 2019, the NFL returned to the stadium with a preseason game between the [[2019 Los Angeles Rams season|Los Angeles Rams]] and [[2019 Dallas Cowboys season|Dallas Cowboys]].<ref>{{cite news |first=Gary |last=Klein |url=https://www.latimes.com/sports/rams/la-sp-rams-cowboys-hawaii-game-20190321-story.html |title=Rams to play Cowboys in Hawaii in Aug. 17 preseason game |date=March 21, 2019 |newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]] |language=en-US |access-date=August 18, 2019}}</ref>

The [[National Football League]]'s all-star game, the [[Pro Bowl]], was held annually at the stadium from 1980 through 2016, except in 2010 and 2015.

===Baseball===
The stadium served as the home field for the [[Hawaii Islanders]], a [[Triple-A (baseball)|Triple-A]] team competing in the [[Pacific Coast League]], from 1976 to 1987.

In {{mlby|1997}}, a three-game regular season series between [[St. Louis Cardinals]] and [[San Diego Padres]] of [[Major League Baseball]]  (MLB) was held at the stadium.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/H/PK_HON01.htm |title=Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, HI |website=[[Retrosheet]] |access-date=January 31, 2021}}</ref> Called the [[Padres Paradise Series]], the series was played as a [[Doubleheader (baseball)|doubleheader]] on April 19 and a nationally broadcast ([[ESPN]]) game on April 20.

===Soccer===
On April 7, 1976, the Aloha Soccer Festival triple-header was held at the stadium. In the feature match, [[Pelé]] scored four goals as his [[New York Cosmos (1971–1985)|New York Cosmos]] defeated [[Japan national football team|Japan]], 5-0, in front of a crowd of 21,705. (In the other matches, the [[North American Soccer League (1968–1984)|NASL]]'s [[San Diego Jaws]] routed the Hawaii All-Stars, 6-0, while the [[Philippines national football team|Philippines]] edged [[Chinese Taipei national football team|Taiwan]], 1-0.)<ref>Pele Delivers The Goods, ''Honolulu Star-Bulletin'', April 8, 1976, p. E-1</ref>

Encouraged by the tournament's success, the [[San Antonio Thunder]] became [[Team Hawaii]] in 1977, bringing the NASL to the Aloha State. Pelé and the Cosmos returned on April 13, 1977, as 12,877 watched New York defeat Hawaii, 2-1. (None of Team Hawaii's other twelve home games drew even half of that; they managed only 4,543 per game for the season, and moved to [[Tulsa Roughnecks (1978–1984)|Tulsa]] in 1978.)

Aloha Stadium hosted the [[Pan-Pacific Championship 2008|inaugural]] [[Pan-Pacific Championship]] (February 20–23, 2008), a knockout soccer tournament, involving four teams from Japan's [[J-League]], North America's [[Major League Soccer]] (MLS) and Australia/New Zealand's [[A-League]].<ref>{{cite news

==In popular culture==
Aloha Stadium appeared in the climax of the 2006 animated television film ''[[Leroy & Stitch]]'', the finale film to ''[[Lilo & Stitch: The Series]]'' and the main continuity of the ''[[Lilo & Stitch (franchise)|Lilo & Stitch]]'' franchise. In the film's final act, [[Dr. Hämsterviel]] and his [[Leroy (Lilo & Stitch)|Leroy]] army dump [[Jumba Jookiba]]'s first 624 genetic experiments into the stadium to be destroyed, only for [[Lilo Pelekai|Lilo]], [[Stitch (Lilo & Stitch)|Stitch]], Jumba, [[Pleakley]], [[Gantu]], and [[Reuben (Lilo & Stitch)|Reuben]] to arrive and stop Hämsterviel. After a fight between the experiments and the Leroys, the main heroes throw an impromptu concert (initially set up for a fictional event called "Alohapalooza"), performing "[[Aloha ʻOe]]" to trigger a failsafe to shut down the Leroys. Although the stadium is not identified by name, it is confirmed to be Aloha Stadium through a special thanks credit in the film's closing credits.<ref>{{cite AV media | people=	Craig, Tony; Gannaway, Bobs (directors) | date=June 23, 2006 | title=[[Leroy & Stitch]] | type=Motion picture | location=United States | publisher=Buena Vista Home Entertainment }}</ref>

In [[NCIS: Hawai{{okina}}i season 3|season three]], episode three of the [[CBS]] television series ''[[NCIS: Hawai{{okina}}i]]'' (first aired February 26, 2024), titled "License to Thrill", Aloha Stadium was the setting for a fictional extreme motorsports exhibition, World of Hyperdrome.
