Aloha Stadium

Capacity 50,000
Current Ownership State of Hawaii
Architects

Aloha Stadium is a stadium located in Honolulu, Hawaii. Currently Aloha Stadium is home to the University of Hawaii Warrior football team (Western Athletic Conference, NCAA Division I-A). Since 1980 it has also been the site of the National Football League's Pro Bowl. It also hosts numerous high school football games during the season, and serves as a venue for large concerts. A swap meet in the stadium's parking lot every weekend always draws large crowds.

Aloha Stadium also served as home field for the AAA Hawaii Islanders of the Pacific Coast League from 1975 to 1987 before the team moved to Colorado Springs.

Aloha Stadium can be reconfigured into various configurations for different sports and purposes, and is the first stadium in the United States with this capability. Four movable sections, each 3.5 million tons and with a capacity of 7,000, can move using air cushions into a diamond configuration for baseball (also used for soccer), an oval for football, or a triangle for concerts.

Located 2 miles north of Honolulu International Airport, Aloha Stadium was built in 1975 at a cost of $32 million. It was intended as a replacement for the aging Honolulu Stadium (which was demolished in 1976).

In 2003, the stadium surface was changed from AstroTurf to FieldTurf.
