David Ige and Aloha Stadium

Aloha Stadium, built in the 1970s, and heavily rusted from the salty air, is way past its prime.


As mentioned in the previous blog post, the state has basically given up maintaining the stadium and is ready to build a new one.

Plans have already been drawn up and we are closer to taking action to build a new one! 


But here comes Hawaii governor David Ige to cause even more trouble.


He is now saying we should maintain the outdated & obsolete stadium instead of building a new one!

This is a new low for a guy who has a long reputation for being tone-deaf! 


His insistence on keeping our outdated and obsolete stadium is going to cost us more in the long run! 


But David Ige reflects the typical mentality in Hawaii that keeps us from progressing! 


We just can't seem to let go of things that aren't working, we just keep clinging to obsolete crap out of nostalgia! Sometimes, we have to put nostalgia on the side, be real with ourselves and take start taking action!


Tear down the old stadium and build a new one!


Stop delaying! We've been delaying for too long!
