Ground facts

Opened12 September 1975 (This site's area field reads Honolulu (Central Oahu); Aloha Stadium is actually in Halawa, in the Ewa District near Pearl Harbor, which is not generally described as Central Oahu (a term usually applied to the Wahiawa/Mililani area further north) -- disclosed as a likely inaccurate regional pairing. The stadium closed after January 2021 and was undergoing active demolition through 2026 (sources differ slightly on the exact start, December 2025 or February 2026), with a smaller replacement stadium targeted for around 2029 -- it should not be described as still standing or as already demolished.)
