The next chancellor should look at restructuring adminis-tration and other facets of UH Mānoa’s organizational struc-ture, UH System President David Lassner said. In an interview with Ka Leo on August 5, the president said he would like to retain whomev-er he selects as Mānoa’s interim chancellor at least a year to take a long look at how the campus’s administration is organized com-pared to similarly-sized main-land institutions, and how re-vamping that web might reign in administrative costs. “It’s a good time to try to sta-bilize things and take a look at what the campus can do beyond a freeze, which might involve some restructuring of functions and pieces of the campus,” Lassner said, referring to the period be-tween permanent chancellors that will begin when Chancellor Tom Apple steps down on September 1. Lassner said he doesn’t have any immediate plans to start a search for Apple’s long-term re-placement.

Next chancellor should consider campus’s structure, Lassner saysNext chancellor should consider campus’s structure, Lassner says An interim chancellor would be well positioned to consider such a restructuring, he said, since it’s likely that the interim chancellor will be someone from the university who is familiar with the campus’s current structure. One example of an adminis-trative change that the chancel-lor might consider, Lassner said, is whether UH needs a provost – a position that is second-in-command to the chancellor and focuses on day-to-day operations and personnel matters. Lassner stressed this isn’t a change he knows he will make, but is just an example of a position other univer-sities have that UH does not. In considering such a change, Lassner said Mānoa could bring in experts from other universities as part of a “blue ribbon” panel to provide information about how provost positions work at other universities. Students and faculty would also be involved in the de-cision process. “It’s best to do that with an in-terim chancellor in place, so that a new chancellor who comes in is hired into a structure that has been perhaps refi ned from what we have today,” he said. “By and

large, the current organizational structure at Mānoa does not fol-low how most research universi-ties are structured.”

MENDING FENCES Lassner said he didn’t antici-pate that his decision to ask Chan-cellor Apple to step down would become the center of protest among faculty and students. “I did not expect events to un-fold in such a fashion that would create the kind of controversy that did occur,” he said. Lassner said he either had met, or had plans to meet, with representatives from groups representing students, faculty and staff. On his schedule were groups that have called on the president to reinstate Apple, in-cluding the Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i (ASUH), the Graduate Student Organization and Mānoa’s fac-ulty senate. “I’m looking for their input before I make a decision on w ho I would like to recommend to the Board of Regents for an interim chancellor,” he said. Input attributed directly to specifi c individuals or groups

on campus isn’t currently part of performance reviews at the uni-versity, Lassner said. Under the current system, representatives of different parts of the university, including student groups such as ASUH, are invited to submit anonymous feedback on adminis-trators up for evaluation. The president said he hopes to ask for formal statements at-tributed to individuals or groups that contribute to these evalua-tions in the future. He said also said he wants to look at “mending fences” with or-ganizations that disagreed with his removal of the chancellor. “They need to understand that I’m committed to many of the things that they appreciated about Chancellor Apple,” he said, citing his support for faculty research and meeting the needs of students. Regarding his own criteria for the next chancellor, Lassner said he wants the next head of Mānoato be able to manage the campus’s fi nances, create a strong leader-ship team and unite the campus – all qualities that he has cited among Apple’s defi ciencies, ac-cording to a letter Lassner wrote to the chancellor on July 18.

Staff Writer

In its second installment of this year’s “Shakesfest,” The Arts at Mark’s Garage has been turned into a battlefi eld, as the classic story of warfare between the Eng-lish and the French is brought to life within “Edward III,” which premiered on Aug. 8. Unlike the festival’s previous offering, “She Stoops to Con-quer,” “Edward III” is partially at-tributed to Shakespeare himself, with other candidates for author-ship including Thomas Kyd (cred-ited in the program), Christopher Marlowe and others.

The festival’s production is cer-tainly unlike the last, combining dance, fighting and the famous English dialect of Shakespeare’s time in a memorable show that nonetheless suffers from a few minor hiccups to distract from the fun.

WE FOUR KINGSUpon observing the cast list,

it becomes apparent that this is not your run-of-the-mill Shake-speare show. King Edward and his neme-sis, King John of France, are both credited twice, with one actor playing each speaking role, and one additional “King” role each, labeled as “dancers.” In a display

unlike what is commonly found in Shakespeare productions, “King Edward (actor)” (Paul Yau) most-ly stands still and delivers his lines with – albeit inconsistent – strength and clarity, while “King Edward (dancer)” (Lia Yamamo-to) does a modern dance routine in accompaniment, combining feminine choreography with the masculine bravado associated with a king. King John (portrayed by Joe Abraham and Becky McGarvey as the actor and dancer respective-ly) has a similar setup, and this combination makes the battle of wills between the two monarchs that much more memorable, as the verbal exchange from the actors is accompanied by what could almost be described as a “dance-off” between the dancers.

These pairings are well done, and on opening night helped dis-tract from the problem of King Edward (actor) stumbling over his lines somewhat, potentially due to opening-night nerves or some other issue. While the title character’s occasional stuttering detracted from the performance, the four players portraying the two kings was a choice that cer-tainly paid off in the end.

THE SOUNDS OF WARThis unique casting decision

was accompanied by decent, if

unusual, technical design. Strobe effects are used on the two danc-er kings, which combine with the choreography to be visually eye-grabbing as well as serving to separate the dancers from their acting counterparts.

Even more unusual was the show’s soundtrack, and spe-cifically, its origin. While “She Stoops to Conquer,” the previous “Shakesfest” offering, made al-most exclusive use of two musi-cians onstage, the same cannot be said for “Edward III,” in which a great deal of the music was originally produced by Jeremy Soule for the latest installment in Bethesda’s “Elder Scrolls” fran-chise. How the show’s producers were able to obtain the rights to the “Skyrim” soundtrack is be-yond me, but it fits surprisingly well in the context of the show.

“Edward III” is disparate from the previous “Shakesfest” show, and indeed from most other productions of Shakespeare al-together. The acting is solid for the most part, and is accompa-nied by technical decisions that work well within the show. His-tory buffs, fans of Shakespeare and other theatregoers alike can likely find something to enjoy in “Edward III” and should consid-er dropping by Mark’s Garage to experience the spectacle of war firsthand.

A state init iative to ensure cleaner restaurants by using color-coded placards and more health inspectors will apply to restaurants and cafeterias at UH. Most campus restaurants, cafete-rias and food trucks will have their placards within the next six months, according to Department of Health environmental health program manager Peter Oshiro. Inspectors started issuing grades across the state on July 21, begin-ning with high risk locations. There are three grades: “pass,” “condi-tional pass” or “closed.” Oshiro said that, at present, the health depart-ment rarely closes establishments more than twice a year. Oshiro said that all inspections are surprises, but restaurants have had months to prepare. When the new rules were signed by the governor in late February, health officials started visiting establishments to get them ready for the inspections. Hawaiʻi joins other American municipalities that grade restaurant sanitation and mandate establish-ments display their scores conspicu-ously. Oshiro estimated that only half of American cities do it. Some use letter grades, some use percentage points and others use color coding. “It’s about public transparency,” Oshiro said.

While green, yellow or red placards – denoting pass, warning or closure statuses – go up in dining rooms across the state, it’s what’s happening behind the scenes that Oshiro believes will protect Hawai̒ i’s restaurant-goers from foodborne diseases. The health department hired more inspectors this year and says it will add more in the coming months. It now has 25, and Oshiro said that six more will be hired. More hires will help the department keep up with inspections.    Oshiro said that before he arrived at his current position in the health department, establishments would be inspected on average once every two years, and that up to 80 percent of those establishments were found to have major violations. Major viola-tions include not keeping cold foods at or below 41 degrees Fahrenheit or not keeping equipment for raw and ready-to-eat foods separate. “A dirty fl oor or a dirty wall isn’t a major violation,” Oshiro said. He said that nine inspectors, the number on staff before the depart-ment started ramping up its opera-tions, wasn’t enough. Oshiro said in the past that the health department chased after restaurants to get inspected. Now “restaurants are chasing us.” When a restaurant is closed or passes inspection conditionally, inspectors usually return within 48 hours to see if health hazards have been eliminated. Oshiro added that

businesses can call and arrange for earlier inspections if they’ve fi xed problems sooner. According to Oshiro, Hawaiʻi’s new system was modeled after another in Sacramento, California that was launched more than fi ve years ago. Sacramento’s food safety program is nationally recognized, Oshiro said. In 2008, Sacramento won the Samuel Crumbine Award for Excellence in Food Protection. Bronson Calles, a Hawaiian lan-guage major who plans to graduate this year, said he didn’t notice the green placard that said “pass” when he walked into the campus Ba-Le. The placard was taped to a glass pane next to one of the restaurant’s doors. Calles heard about the new grading system. “It’s a good thing to be watching out for these illnesses,” he said. Calles said he suspects he had food poisoning once. “It was bad,” he said, “you can’t eat, it’s a pain.” Calles said he thinks the food safety initiative is a good thing. “We don’t want to be eating in dirty places,” he said. Cul inar y ar ts students at Kapiʻolani Community College are required to take a course in food safety and sanitation. Henry Holthaus is a Kapiʻolani Community College culinary arts instructor who teaches the two-credit, semester-long course in food safety. Holthaus said culinary arts majors usually take the sanitation class in their fi rst semester, and that it’s a pre-

requisite for culinary lab courses. Holthaus said the department’s push for cleaner restaurants is long overdue.   “It’s about time,” Holthaus said. Holthaus said he advocated for a similar program in the ‘90s when he was on a food safety panel that reported to the governor. Holthaus’s food safety-themed television program airs on ‘Ōlelo. It’s called Shig Happens. Shig, short for Shigella, is a bacteria found in human feces. Holthaus said Shigella makes its way into food when pre-parers don’t wash their hands after using the toilet. The bacteria causes a condition called Shigellosis that can lead to fevers, bloody diarrhea and stomach cramps.

Holthaus said he teaches stu-dents “how not to kill people with the food they cook, or make them sick and wish they were dead.” According to Holthaus, there are four areas of food safety: personal hygiene, temperature and time con-trol, eliminating cross contamina-tion, and purchasing food from reliable sources. Health department inspectors look at all of these. According to the Department of Health’s checklist for avoiding critical violations, other things that may close an establishment include vermin infestations, no hot or cold running water and backed-up sewage.

PAIGE TAKEYA

Senior Staff Writer

It was never supposed to be a close race – David Ig knew that bet-ter than anyone. And sure enough, come primary election night, it wasn’t. Ige, a Pearl City senator and electrical engineer, thrashed Gov. Neil Abercrombie in the race for the Democratic nomination for the state’s highest position, tak-ing a decisive 155,184 votes (66.1 percent) to Abercrombie’s 72,298 (30.8 percent). “When we started this 13 months ago, I probably had more people tell me that I was crazy than really believing that this night could hap-pen,” Ige said to a crowd of cheering supporters. This is the fi rst time an incumbent governor has lost in the primary in the history of Hawai‘i, and Abercrombie is the fi rst governor since William Quinn in 1962 not to win re-election. A poll conducted Aug. 3 by Hawai‘i News Now and Hono-lulu Star-Advertiser showed Ige up 18 points over the incumbent governor. The victory margin Saturday night was double that: 36 percent.

Even his delighted supporters were shocked. Tears were shed, hugs were shared and conch shells were blown when the fi rst printout came around 7 p.m., announcing Ige’s lead. “I was not expecting that. From the way everyone was talking about

it, I thought it was going to be a close race,” said Ethan Hill, an incoming freshman at University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa and Ige backer.

PARTY, UNION SUPPORT Others, including former Gov. Ben Cayetano, were not shocked at Ige’s lead – just at the gap between the candidates. “I knew it would be high be-cause David’s poll matched the Star-Advertiser poll: 18 percent. This is much more than 18 per-cent. It ’s kind of astounding, ac-tually,” Cayetano said. He was part of a parade of politicians who stopped by to affirm their

support for Ige, including former Gov. George Ariyoshi, U.S. Sen. Mazie Hirono and state Sen. Mi-chelle Kidani. “I’m pretty conservative on fi scal issues, and so is David. I like his style, and he’s very analytical. He looks at a

problem; he’s not politically motivat-ed. That’s important,” Cayetano said. Ige thanked a number of key supporters in his victory speech, including the neighbor island sup-porters and Hawai‘i State Teachers Association, which has backed him from the beginning of his campaign. Ige’s primary funds reached just un-der $550,000, but HSTA boosted him with a rush of television ads in the last weeks of the campaign. Abercrombie boasted a war chest of $5 million, as well as support from University of Hawai‘i Professional As-sembly. The one-time Leeward Com-munity College and UH Mānoa lec-turer noted later that his loss marks the end of a 40-year political career.

After the third printout, Aber-crombie came to Ige’s headquarters in Varsity Theater to concede and pledge his support. “You’ve made a decision tonight, the Democratic Party has made a de-cision tonight: The governor’s offi ce is the offi ce of the people of Hawai‘i, and I will do everything I can to see that David Ige occupies that offi ce for all of the people of Hawai‘i,” Ab-ercrombie said.

NEW DEMOGRAPHICS While Ige enjoys the support of HSTA and his colleagues in the leg-islature, he’ll now have to win over UHPA and other groups that backed Abercrombie in the primary. Ige believes it’ll come down to a common desire to serve the com-munity. “I’m certain that there are many of (UHPA’s) interests that are in the public interest that I’m com-mitted to working toward. It’s really about making the decisions and in-vestments that move our university forward, whether it’s their idea or my idea,” he said. Another group that Ige might need to work on: college students. Hill was one of the few young adults in the crowd that night.

“I believe in a lot of his values. The current governor (Abercrombie) wasn’t the best person for the job, and sure, his campaign was fancy, but when it comes to core values, David Ige defi nitely wins,” Hill said. But he acknowledges that he doesn’t see a lot of support for Ige among his peers. “Honestly, maybe it needs to be more school-oriented. They had a couple events here focused towards more a young adult crowd, but even then, not that many peo-ple showed up. And also, with a lo-cation so close to UH, it’s a really good way to get the students down and involved.” Engaging his peers, Hill believes, will be key to Ige win-ning over the age group. Perhaps it was Ariyoshi who hit that point home clearest when he addressed the crowd in sup-port of Ige. “I’m 88 years old. This isn’t my future. It’s your future, and it’s the future of your children and your grandchildren,” he said. Ige will face Republican nom-inee and former Lt. Gov. Duke Aiona, as well as independent candidate and former Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hanneman, in the general election Nov. 4.

Ige triumphant after historic gubernatorial raceIge triumphant after historic gubernatorial race

When we started this 13 months ago, I probably had more people tell me that I was crazy than really believ-ing that this night could happen.

From David Ige’s landslide victory over incumbent Neil Abercrombie in the gubernatorial contest to the ongoing voting in the race for an open U.S. Senate seat between Brian Schatz and Colleen Hanabusa, the results from Satur-day’s primary varied considerably from race to race. Ige’s ouster of Abercrombie was the fi rst time an incum-bent governor lost a primary election in Hawaii. The loss also means Abercrombie will be the fi rst one-term democratic governor in state history. Going into the Nov. 4 general election, Ige faces an unusu-al three-way race against former Lieutenant Governor Duke Aiona, who cruised to an easy primary victory for the Repub-lican nomination Saturday, and former Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann, an ex-democrat who is running as an independent. The race for the 1st Congressional District was also de-cisive from the fi rst printout, giving State Rep. Mark Takai a large advantage over his nearest rival, State Senate President Donna Mercado Kim. He will face former U.S. Rep. Charles Djou in the general election. In the race for lieutenant governor, Incumbent Shan Tsu-tsui established a clear lead from the beginning of the night again State Sen. Clayton Hee. Polls leading up to the election predicted that the race would be close. By far, the closest race was the contest for the U.S. Sen-ate, which is unlikely to be resolved for at least three weeks (see page 8). Neither Schatz nor Hanabusa conceded Satur-day, but both candidates vowed to take their campaigns to Hawai‘i Island’s Puna district in an effort to win votes that have yet to be cast there.

The race for Hawai‘i’s open U.S. senate seat turned into one of the closest in Hawai‘i history Satur-day night, with neither candidate conceding and a final result not expected for weeks. Both U.S. Senator Brian Schatz and U.S. Representative Colleen Hanabusa reassured support-ers at their headquarters that the election could go either can-didate’s way, depending on the results from two precincts in the Puna district on Hawai‘i Island. “This campaign is far from over,” Hanabusa told supporters at her headquarters at the Hawai‘i Laborers Union Local 368 build-ing “Anything can happen.”

Emphasizing that voters in Puna are still occupied with recovering from Tropical Storm Iselle, Schatz told enthusiastic supporters around 10:45 p.m. Saturday that he felt optimistic about his chances of winning. “We feel very good about where we are,” he said. The most recent printout at press time showed Schatz ahead by 1,635 votes out of 225,965 counted for both candidates – a margin of less than one percent-age point. That dif ference rep-resented an increase for Schatz, who started the night trailing Hanabusa and made up the dif fer-ence over multiple printouts. On the third printout of the night, which reflected just over 160,000 votes counted, Schatz was 11 votes behind Hanabusa.

TWO PRECINCTS IN PUNA Although the latest totals no longer show the race that tight, offi cials from the state’s Offi ce of Elections said there are roughly 8,000 registered voters in the two Hawai‘i Island precincts who have yet to cast their ballots. Those two precincts saw their polling places – one an elementa-ry school, the other a community center –closed because of damage and fallen trees on nearby roads from Tropical Storm Iselle. With the communities still recovering from the storm, election offi cials said voters will be able to submit absentee mail-in ballots over the next three weeks. Both precincts run along the Eastern coast of the island and in-clude some of the fastest-growing

developments in the county, in-cluding Hawaiian Paradise Park and Hawaiian Beaches. Precinct 04-02, the more southerly of the two, also includes the northern tip of the town of Pahoa. Despite their population, both precincts saw voter turnouts be-low 25 percent in the 2012 primary election. That was the fi rst election in which both precincts existed in their current form since both were drawn after the 2010 census. With enough votes in play to alter the outcome of the election, both campaigns said they plan to send the candidates and canvass-ers to the two precincts in the coming days. Speaking shortly before Schatz’s appearance at headquarters Sat-urday, one campaign offi cial told

Schatz supporters “If you’ve got a friend in Puna, give them a call.” When the senator took the stage about 15 minutes later, he said his campaign also recognizes that the campaign will continue amid efforts to recover from Tropical Storm Iselle. “We all need to remember what’s happening on the Big Is-land,” he said. Earlier in the evening, Hanabusa noted the signifi cance of the race’s closeness considering Schatz out fundraised her campaign 2-to-1. She said it was clear that the en-dorsements and monetary support that Schatz received from out-of-state sources did not give him a clear electoral advantage. “It’s an amazing statement,” she said.

Still confused as to what ex-actly the seat section swapping at Stan Sheriff Center means for men’s basketball fans? Ka Leo answers three common questions that remain in the wake of the controversial decision to move longtime season ticketholders out of section E to better central-ize the Manoa Maniacs-driven student section. How many season ticket-holders were really affected? It seems like a lot more than 43 people will need to be moved in section E. It is true that the switch affects only 43 season ticket-holders. However, ‘Ahahui Koa Ānuenue president Jon Kobayas-hi explained to Ka Leo that each season ticketholder may have multiple seats within his or her account. A single person could have four seats for his family, for example, all under his or her name. In total, those 43 individu-als had 156 seats in section E.

Is the Manoa Maniacs sec-tion becoming larger as a re-

sult of the swap of sections E and JJ? The student section is be-coming 50 seats larger. Previ-ously, students held 528 seats in sections F, G and JJ. Students did not technically have access to all of section JJ – men’s bas-ketball performance analyst Jamie Smith explained that stu-dents were not allowed to sit in the lower-bowl portion of the section. Under the new agreement, students will have 578 seats be-tween sections E, F and G. Smith reiterates that the point of the seating swap was not to increase attendance, but to further de-velop a sense of unity and spirit among students. Is this going to affect oth-er sports in Stan Sheriff Cen-ter, like women’s volleyball? Manoa Maniacs chair Gen-evieve Bradley promises that the seating change is only for men’s basketball. Volleyball and wom-en’s basketball will continue to follow the previous student seat-ing arrangeme nt, with no chang-es planned for this season or the foreseeable future.

THE DISSEC TED

43BLAKE TOLENTINO AND

FADI YOUKHANA Web Specialist, Managing Editor

East: Is there a favorite?

Blake: It has to be the Philadel-phia Eagles. Although the Eagles lost DeSean Jackson, the offense is still loaded. If Chip Kelly can replicate last year’s offensive suc-cess, it should be enough to win a division that contains no strong defense. Betting on the Redskins to bounce back with a healthy Rob-ert Griffi n III and a revamped re-ceiving corps is tempting, but the Eagles have much better weapons in the backfi eld like LeSean McCoy and should be able to outscore any-one in their division.

Fadi: This division has no favorite. Each of the four teams could win the division or fi nish in last place. The Dallas Cowboys are most likely to win this division because of their offense. With the arrival of former Lions offensive coordina-tor Scott Linehan, Dez Bryant and Tony Romo will become one of the top offensive duos in the NFL. The arrival of Henry Melton should also reduce the loss of production on defense from the departure of DeMarcus Ware in the offseason.

North: Can the Bears dethrone the Packers?

Blake: Yes. Jay Cutler isn’t the elite gunslinger that Aaron Rodg-ers is, but he’s a very good quar-terback in his own right. The Chicago Bears put a lot of effort

into rebuilding their defense this offseason by bringing in guys like Lamarr Houston and Kyle Fuller. If they can put together even a mediocre defense, they have enough weapons on offense to dethrone Green Bay.

Fadi: No, but it will be close again. The Bears lost to the Packers last season in a division-deciding season finale. Aaron Rodgers returned from a broken collarbone and generated a game-wining drive at Soldier Field with 40 seconds left in the game. Rod-gers, Eddie Lacy and Randall Cobb will all be healthy this sea-son. The Packers’ defensive unit has improved with the addition of former Bear Julius Peppers and the drafting of Alabama’s Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, the top safety of the 2014 draft.

South: Will the Panthers beat the Falcons again?

Blake: No. The Carolina Pan-thers look like candidates for a sophomore slump after last sea-son’s success. Despite one of the most dominant front seven’s in the game, they still haven’t ad-dressed a weak secondary and have the most untested group of receivers in the game. Mean-while, the Atlanta Falcons look primed to challenge for a playoff spot. Star receivers Julio Jones and Roddy White are healthy and should help Matt Ryan return to his former glory. Expect the Fal-cons to beat the Panthers in the division standings.

Fadi: No way. The Panthers starting receivers right now are 32-year-old Jerricho Cotchery and rookie Kelvin Benjamin. Cam Newton will be forced to scramble more this year, which means a higher chance of injury and mistakes. The Falcons on the other hand will have their re-ceiving studs back in White and Jones. The Falcons will not lose 12 games again, and the Panthers will not win 12. West: Can Arizona earn a play-off berth?

Blake: Yes. Despite playing in the most competitive division in American professional sports, the Cardinals have a realistic shot at a Wild Card spot. Finish-ing just a game behind the New Orleans Saints in last year’s Wild Card race, Arizona has a lot go-ing for them this year that could see them improving their record. With the services of rising stars Michael Floyd and Andre Elling-ton, the Cardinals should have a more consistent offense than last year while still fi elding an excel-lent defense.

Fadi: Yes. The San Francisco 49ers will likely win the division leaving the Seattle Seahawks and the Cardinals competing for two Wild Card spots with the rest of the NFC. The Falcons, Bears, Cowboys or the Eagles will not keep up with Arizona. Offense has been the weakest link for Ari-zona, but will improve in Carson Palmer’s second year at the helm.

There it sits in Halawa, cloaked in fading paint and with its ugly, safety-cone orange seats. The once proud Aloha Stadium is a shadow of its former self, both in its state of repair and in the crowds it hosts. It can no longer be ignored. Alo-ha Stadium is due for replacement. Like its predecessor, the old “Ter-mite Palace” on King Street, the current stadium is outdated. It’s slowly succumbing to the constant rain and sunshine of paradise. It’s time to put Old Aloha down and start anew with a fresh, modern stadium built for UH’s needs.

THE COST On the surface, building a new stadium seems like a great way

to waste a lot of money when we already have a functional sta-dium. At an estimated cost be-tween $165 and $190 million, a new stadium may carry too high a price tag for some to stomach.

However, while Aloha Stadium may still be standing, it requires significant investment to keep it that way. In 2008, the state ap-proved a bill for $185 million in repairs. This is comparable to the costs of building a new stadium. Fur-thermore, as the stadium ages, repair will be needed to control the rusting. This is after it was dis-covered that the weathering steel used to construct the stadium failed to form the protective coat-ing it was designed to produce. The question on people’s minds is whether we can afford the new stadium. But the more

pressing issue is whether the state can afford to keep Aloha Stadium in safe repair.

ATTENDANCE Opponents of the new stadium have claimed that a venue with a 30 -35,000 -seat capacity is too small to hold the Warrior football games. But for the last two sea-sons, attendance has averaged just over 30,000 fans per game. While it would be easy to point to the lack of success during the Norm Chow Era, attendance had already been declining. During 2010’s WAC Championship run, Hawai‘i averaged 37,311 tickets distributed (not turnstile). That figure includes the Hawai‘i Bowl that sold nearly 45,000 tickets. Compare this to 1992, a similar WAC Championship run, which sold 44,432 tickets per game.

Sad as it is, Hawai‘i’s fan base is not going to be filling Aloha Stadium anytime soon, no mat-ter how successful we are. Thir-ty-five thousand is very close to our average figures from our best season since the Sugar Bowl run. It ’s time to accept this and downsize. A full 30 -35,000 -seat stadium looks a lot better than a half empty 50,000 -seat stadium.

THE PRO BOWL CONCERN The Aloha Stadium has been the site of the Pro Bowl since 1980, and the game is often re-garded as vital to bringing in tourism dollars tied to the NFL’s all-star game. While it ’s true that Aloha Stadium remains a cultur-al icon for pro football fans and that Hawai‘i would likely lose the Pro Bowl in the event that a new stadium is built, remember

that the event only happens for aweek. One week of boosted tour-ism dollars is not a good reasonto keep pouring money into a de-caying stadium. The Hawai‘i Tourism Author-ity estimates that tourists spendabout $28 million dollars duringPro Bowl festivities. However, incomparison to the cost of constantrepairs and renovation the sitecommands, is it really worth it? UH needs to do what ’s best forUH. A new stadium might seemas if it will cost too much, butthe benefits outweigh the nega-tives. UH needs to stop cateringto the fans stuck in the past whobelieve that UH is one good sea-son from selling out the stadiumevery game. UH needs to helpitself for once, and build the newstadium that its fans and playersdeserve.
