Located in Honolulu, Hawaii, Aloha Stadium is one of the most unique stadiums in any sport. After nearly three decades of existence it remains home to many events including being the home of the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors football program. It is also the home of the Hawaii Bowl that features teams from CUSA and the Mountain West Conference. In the early 1970’s a new multipurpose stadium for the state of Hawaii needed to be built to replace the ageing Honolulu Stadium. Built at a cost of $37 million, the stadium was constructed by the fall of 1975.

The first game played at the stadium was between the Warriors and Texas A & I on September 12, 1975. The two tier stadium seats roughly 50,000. It is able to house football and baseball games along with concerts. It is unique in how it can change to accommodate the different events. Four moveable sections of 7,000 seats each can move to form either a football or baseball configuration.  These 3.5 million pound sections of seats are moved using compressed air. When in football configuration, two grandstands are located on both sides of the gridiron and at both ends of the endzones. There are breaks in the corners of the grandstands. Aloha Stadium has also been the home of several minor league baseball teams over the years and the NFL’s Pro Bowl.
