If all goes well, it will still be three years before they return to Halawa. "We, as taxpayers, citizens, and fans, deserve it in this great state that we live in," said Rich Miano, former UH player and current broadcaster. "So it's disappointing that there's not more of a sense of urgency to do this right, to do it on budget, and to do it for the people of Hawaii." The Stadium Authority had no update on the project during its monthly meeting. One reason is the scope of the New Aloha Stadium Entertainment District. "They're looking at all parameters," said Ryan Andrews, stadium manager. "Everything from the technical proposal, which is not just the stadium—what everyone keeps focusing on. They also have to master plan this entire district for the next two decades, maybe more."

It also has to integrate the stadium with entertainment space and future housing. And, of course, there's the financing needed to make all that happen. "I think it's good for the public to hear from our media members how detailed this process is and how thorough we are being to ensure taxpayers get the most value for what will be a live, work, play, thrive community," said Andrew Pereira, a Stadium Authority member. Miano understands that a new stadium isn't built overnight, but he says the lack of one creates uncertainty in the ever-changing landscape of college football. "It's all about money," Miano said. "I've heard from many sources close to the Mountain West Conference and the Pac-12 that without a stadium, we're not even in the conversation because the revenue potential to generate is lost."
