Would have been 38 in August
A little over 10 years ago he was a passenger in a car accident in Hawaii and suffered an injury to a part of the brain that plays a role in impulse and emotional control. As he died after being found unconscious at a rehab facility, one can’t help but wonder if that car accident took ten years to kill him.
RIP ... way too young

Yeah, from what I read after the car wreck he got into substance abuse pretty bad. Super sad, so young. I remember watching him back at Hawaii and he was so fun to watch. RIP Brennan.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
The temporary project is currently billed at $8.3 million, of which the Clarence T.C. Ching Foundation donated $1.5 million. Hawaii was forced into a scramble last December when 50,000-seat home venue Aloha Stadium shut down operations due to reported unsafe maintenance issues and financial strains.
Aloha Stadium had been UH's home location since 1975. A new Aloha Stadium project was already in the works at that time, but a new stadium is not scheduled until 2024 at the earliest.
Demolition of Aloha Stadium now slated for late 2022
The Stadium Authority has voted to move up the planned demolition of Aloha Stadium, projecting the landmark will now come down in late 2022.
Authority members said the earlier demolition will allow plans for a replacement stadium and a surrounding entertainment district to move along more quickly.
The 50,000-seat, 46-year-old Aloha Stadium was previously expected to be demolished in 2023.

It could take 20 years to finish new Aloha Stadium ‘entertainment district’
Aloha Stadium leaders said it will likely take 20 years to finish building the New Aloha Stadium “entertainment district.”
About 90 people attended a virtual meeting Tuesday, in which organizers outlined their plan for the property and asked for feedback from potential developers.
Among the issues brought up was the need to install a new sewer system, which is one of the main reasons the construction timeline has been pushed back.
“We are in dire demand for some important infrastructure elements to be installed — and by that, I mean wastewater treatment on site,” said Stacey Jones, of Crawford Architects.
“The city’s plan for sewer capacity upgrades don’t meet our schedule, so we’re forced to think laterally to solve that particular program and unleash the value in this site.”
Leaders said they hope the developer, which is still awaiting selection, will be able to transform up to 1 million square feet of land every five years over the 20-year projected timeline.

Does anyone really give a flying fuck about how nice the stadium is if you go to Hawaii to play? I mean, the whole city is basically an entertainment district, you are in an absolute shit Bowl game but you're in Hawaii.
You really going back home saying "Hawaii was nice and all but I'm never going back until they have more craft beer locations in that outdated stadium" ?
Raze the old one if you have to, set up a simple grass field in the middle of a park, put in some bleachers, some shade and viola, you have a place to play football on par with the amount of fucks most people give about playing football when they are in Hawaii.

Researching the Magic!
For just the bowl game, probably not as many as say Tampa or Birmingham, but also probably more than you think (including the schools). But this is also clearly a something bigger than just the stadium, creating something more along the lines of SoFi's area, or what they try to masterplan in most big cities around new large-scale multipurpose venues. I'm sure they want the Pro Bowl back, along with probably plays to draw large scale festivals, trade association events, and similar after looking at that rendering. You need something that at least looks and reads as "high end" on the surface for those things. For UH and bowl games, it's obviously all overkill.

Hell yea. Toss up a chain link fence around the field and some cheap metal bleachers for the fans.
