Aloha Stadium

Aloha Stadium opened on September 12, 1975, as the largest stadium in Hawaii. Built at a cost of 37 million dollars, it was designed by the Luckman Partnership as a multi-purpose venue capable of hosting both American football and baseball. The stadium featured movable stands that could be reconfigured for different sports configurations. For over four decades, it served as the primary sports and entertainment venue in the state, hosting everything from college football to professional all-star games and large concerts. The stadium ceased fan-attended operations on December 17, 2020, due to mounting structural and maintenance concerns. After years of abandonment, demolition work began in December 2025 and continued into 2026. A new 31,000-seat stadium is planned for the same site to serve as its successor.

Aloha Stadium hosted the NFL Pro Bowl every year from 1980 through 2016, with the exception of 2010 and 2015, making it synonymous with the league's all-star showcase for over three decades. The stadium was home to the Hawaii Islanders, a AAA Pacific Coast League baseball team, from 1975 to 1987 before they relocated to Colorado Springs. It also hosted The Hawaiians of the World Football League in 1975 and Team Hawaii of the North American Soccer League in 1977. The venue was a regular host of college bowl games, including the Aloha Bowl, the Oahu Bowl, and the Hawaii Bowl. A popular swap meet in the stadium parking lot drew large crowds regularly. The stadium's design featured movable stands that allowed it to be converted between football and baseball configurations.
