I forgot until I just saw something that Hawaii isn't playing at Aloha Stadium any longer. Vanderbilt at Hawaii in a temporary stadium that holds 9300 people.

Hawaii's temporary new stadium will be the smallest in FBS
  • MAY 18, 2021
On Tuesday, Hawai'i announced it is "fast-tracking" an $8.3 million project to the on-campus TC Ching Athletics Complex to host Mountain West football.

This is what the Ching Athletics Complex looks like today.

And this is what it will look like come Sept. 4, according to renderings released by the university.

The $8.3 million will expand the complex's capacity from 3,500 to "about 9,000 seats," which will make it the smallest FBS home stadium by around 6,000 seats. (Charlotte's Jerry Richardson Stadium currently holds that distinction.) The renderings also appear to move the visitor-side grandstands opposite the press box closer to the field, positioning them right behind the track, an improvement upon their original position of beyond the track.

The Ching and save Aloha Stadium. but on the flip side, The Ching is on campus and Aloha Stadium is (was?) 10 miles away. So not only, in theory, should every seat be full for every game, the on-campus location will help drive student attendance to create an atmosphere that is raucous and intimate at once. It's a high school-ish facility, yes, but it can create a high school atmosphere in the best possible way.

I was just going to say that I feel sorry for the guy. He used to be funny on this show now it's embarrassing. They need to make this his last season if he can make it through the whole thing. Keep some of the guys dignity for heavens sake.
