Aloha Stadium has been closed since December, thanks to COVID-19, and is now scheduled to be demolished next year. The pandemic has forced high schools to look for new venues for sports and graduations.
Why did Aloha Stadium close?
The Aloha Stadium Authority revealed that the closure was due to financial issues, which were brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. In recent years, Aloha Stadium has had maintenance issues. According to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, the stadium is in need of an estimated $30 million for repairs.
What's happening to Aloha Stadium?
Aloha Stadium was built in 1975 for University of Hawaii football, but in December, 2020 the Aloha Stadium Authority announced that the stadium would be shut down until a new stadium was built. UH football then planned to relocate temporarily to a retrofitted Ching Athletic Complex on the UH Manoa campus.
