Lori Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 From our friends at KFFL: NFL | Hawaii may bid for the 2016 Super BowlSun, 5 Mar 2006 21:23:11 -0800 Pacific Business News reports Aloha Stadium's top management wants to upgrade the sports complex so the state can make a credible bid to host the Super Bowl in 2016. Stadium management is convinced that the planned $129 million stadium makeover could help lure the National Football League's 50th Super Bowl to Hawaii. They said that would give the state about 10 years to plan and build 32 luxury suites and add 10,000 more seats to satisfy NFL requirements for hosting a Super Bowl at the 50,000-seat stadium. Brian McCarthy, an NFL spokesman, acknowledged that Aloha Stadium management has informally pitched the idea to the league. McCarthy said he wouldn't rule out the possibility of a Super Bowl in Hawaii, but described it as a long shot. Beats the heck out of Detroit or Kansas City. I am soooo there, if it actually happens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerball Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 If they can get the stadium up to standards the NFL would be silly to pass on a SB in Hawaii. Maybe Tice would even keep his tickets and go to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of BiB Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 That would be sweet, but man that place would need a lot of work. We went to the pro-bowl a few years back. Nice enough venue, but no where near NFL standards. Hmmm. The Honolulu Cardinals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marv's Neighbor Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 That stadium has serious problems due to the salt in the sea air! Bad corrosion all over. They paint everything white each year but that only covers up the problem. Imagine if all the over-passes on the Thruway, that had to be rebuilt because of salt damage, were just repainted! It's a very similar problem. It's amazing that it's held together this long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
