Should've done a field of dreams mockery. Build it and they will come. Is there any data collected post Pro Bowl of Stadium revenue and attendance? I remember in the end several concessions spaces were closed for lack of volunteers and interest as well as the empty seats.

The real decision makers are actually the Board of Regents of the University of Hawaii. Given College Football financial and Conference realignments taking place; is there a viable future for UH in Division One? Would it be wiser to invest in e-sports facilities that can generate more interest locally and nationally? Readers may have other suggestions.
