Hawaii Bowl

[DrHuk&Duck]

Good luck tonight to my adopted Florida college football team, the University of South Florida Bulls. As everyone knows, I’m a proud alumnus of Clemson University, but since moving to Florida a couple decades ago for law school, I adopted the USF Bulls since I’m only about an hour away from the campus and can occasionally get to a home game to enjoy some action.

Aleshanee - you attending?

California is way closer to Hawaii than Florida, so I’m pretty sure the stadium will be 95% the other team.

So is Aloha Stadium going to be demolished? A new stadium going up in its place?

Looks like a new stadium is in the works: https://www.khon2.com/local-news/developer-releases-new-renderings-of-new-aloha-stadium-project/amp/

The facility they hosted the bowl game in almost looked more like a college soccer stadium. Based on the extremely low attendance by San Jose and USF, I think they would have been fine playing at a local park. The attendance was pretty sad, but the game was great and went in the history books for most OTs in a bowl game: https://www.si.com/college/group-fi...istoric-hawaii-bowl-victory-in-five-overtimes

they haven;t started to demolish it yet but it;s condemned and demolition is in the planning... the new stadium is supposed to be built in the same place.. .. but with the speed hawaii carries out official projects elon musk will probably build a colony on mars first......
