35 College Stadiums That Are More Iconic Than the Teams That Play There

9. Aloha Stadium: Former Home of Hawaii (Honolulu, HI)

Hawaii football has never been a national powerhouse, but Aloha Stadium became one of the most famous venues in American sports history. Built in 1975, it was more than just a home for the Rainbow Warriors—it was the longtime home of the NFL Pro Bowl, bringing the world’s best football players to Honolulu every year for over three decades. What made Aloha Stadium truly unique was its moveable seating configuration, which allowed it to be adjusted for football, baseball, and other events. This feature made it one of the most versatile stadiums in the world. It also hosted legendary concerts, including performances by Michael Jackson and U2, and served as a backdrop for major films and TV shows. Unfortunately, structural issues forced its closure in 2020, and it will eventually be demolished, with a new stadium planned for the site. Even though it’s gone, Aloha Stadium’s legendary status lives on in the memories of fans and players alike.
