Folks...Have you noticed that the brochures that have been distributed have this picture and the words, "CONCEPT ONLY?" That's because I guarantee you that HKS is going to come up with an entirely different design than what has been circulated. I happen to know an architect associated with HKS who was unimpressed with that "CONCEPT."

They better not mess with the current design much. The older design (2005?) included an oversized upper deck that fans on here did not care for.....

Fans seem to really like the current "concept" and displayed model....

Let's not jump to any conclusions here. HKS seems to be the leader in doing what they do. Let's see what they come up with first before we make any rash decisions. my bet is whatever they come up with, we'll LOVE !

Interesting . . . what does "unimpressed" mean? That the concept fails to deal with structural issues? That the concept is unrealistic for a $60 million stadium? That there were a whole lot of things they could have put in to make it better?

They're putting in more posters. And some sweet racing stripes! :)

I love the design but I think I'd like to see more of the outside of the stadium covered up. What I mean is I don't like the fact that you can see some of the stands exposed underneath. It would be cool if it was all closed in from the outside.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I saw USF up in the 3rd quarter, but didn't get to see the OT. Any news during the game about if Hawaii will get a new stadium too? I was sad to hear the Aloha Bowl was in such bad shape a couple years ago and it had to be abandoned.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I’m there with you as one of the few that watched it. I actually didn’t start watching until about 6 minutes left in the 4th quarter, but still got my money’s worth.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I guess few saw the five overtime slugfest in Honolulu. Oh well I did and it was a blast of a game. Spartans roaring back for Coach Niumatalolo who lost his father last week. A native Hawaiian who played for UH, took his team to the Arizona Memorial for remembrance. Battling it out against a team traveling over 4,600 miles, further than any team this season including that game in Ireland 🇮🇪. That bounce in field goal to send the game into OT as the 4th quarter expired was awesome. A team building, bringing a new stadium to our league, a team seeking consecutive bowl wins after some dire years. Yeah I was one of the few that watched it. Love the storylines and shots of my old island home. It was historic. The most OT’s in bowl history Oh yeah and our conference is 3-1 in the bowl challenge. American rising. GMG

      Dave Fleming New Volleyball Coach

      This is a very surprising pick. Frankly,I don't get it; a very veteran coach; who has coached at the same D2 school forever almost. Why would this coach even be considered a good fit at NT? A .68% winning D2 coach who has apparently never coached at a higher level. Is NT cost cutting? I hope he is wildly successful, it would be hard to not be an improvement over the previous coach. However, this IMO is a very questionable choice.
