Legends of the Gridiron America's Most Iconic Stadiums State by State

11. Hawaii – Aloha Stadium (Capacity: 50,000)

Though currently closed for renovation and debate regarding its future, Aloha Stadium in Honolulu remains Hawaii’s largest listed college venue. Historically home to the University of Hawaii Rainbow Warriors, it accommodated some 50,000 spectators, hosting major events like the NFL Pro Bowl and the Aloha Bowl. Its multipurpose design featured moveable seating sections, transforming the field to accommodate diverse sports—from football to baseball. When the Rainbow Warriors took the turf, fans greeted them with a fusion of island warmth and raucous cheering known as the “Hawaiian Roll.” Luaus and tailgates often preceded games, blending local culture—think plate lunches, ukuleles, and aloha shirts—with the intensity of collegiate football.
