Talk:Aloha Stadium

message: Unfortunate that the article doesn't mention the stadium's rust issue. If anyone who has this page in their watchlist knows why this is overlooked, I'd be interested to know the answer. If there's no reason not to add information (from legitimate sources) on this issue, I can do so. --Boradis 02:02, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: By no means have I been the primary contributor to this article, but the reason why I haven't added any information on the stadium's rust issue is because I just don't know enough about it to give it a mention. I actually work at Aloha Stadium and, yes, I see the rust everytime I show up; the problem is pretty bad. I also read about it in the newspaper every so often but each time it's mentioned, they just say that the stadium "has a rust problem," but nothing more. If you're willing to add the rust issue to the article, please, by all means do so. 青い(Aoi) 19:25, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Any source for the weight of 3.5 million tons?
According to the Guinness World Records, the heaviest building ever moved was 15,140.4 metric tons.
Possible that the stadium is heavier, but 3.5 million tons seems a LOT.
:You are right. "3.5 million tons" is a typo--according to the University of Hawaii, each movable section weights 3.5 million POUNDS, not tons (3.5 million pounds is equivalent to about only 1,750 tons). Thank you for catching that glaring error; I've fixed the article accordingly. 青い(Aoi) 00:43, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Aloha Stadium also hosted concerts by the Eagles/Jimmy Buffet in 1979, the Police in 1984, and Michael Jackson c. 1993 .....the Michael Jackson show was his only U.S. concert for quite some time as he was generally staying away when legal problems here damaged his reputation badly...  4.248.7.5 15:23, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Hulabowl07.jpg

message: This article mentions:
: Aloha Stadium could be reconfigured into various configurations for different sport venues and other purposes, and was the first stadium in the United States with this capability.
and then goes on to mention the movable sections riding on air cushions (which may have been unique). I suspect such qualifications are an important part of the claim though.  See the article on Multi-purpose stadium for a more extensive history. I note the following stadia that preceded Aloha by several years:
Opened    	Stadium                           	Teams and events
1923-04-18	Yankee Stadium (1923)             	Yankees (baseball), Giants (football 1956-1973), Yankees (soccer), Track and Field, appearances by the Pope, See also List of events at Yankee Stadium (1923)
1931-07-01	Cleveland Stadium                 	Indians (baseball), Rams (football), Browns (football), Stokers (soccer)
1950      	Memorial Stadium (Baltimore)      	Orioles (baseball, Major and Minor league), Baltimore Colts (1947–50) (football), Baltimore Ravens (football), Bays (soccer)
1961-10-01	Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium	Redskins (NFL), Senators (baseball), Whips (soccer), Darts (soccer), Diplomats (soccer), Team America (soccer), Washington Federals (USFL), D.C. United (soccer), Freedom (WUSA), Nationals (baseball), EagleBank Bowl (NCAA) (2008–present), Freedom (soccer)
1964-04-17	Shea Stadium                      	Mets, Jets, Yankees, Giants, New York United, concerts by the Beatles,  Grand Funk Railroad, dozens more
Could someone please elaborate on how the Aloha Stadium was first at some unique capability in the United States (with a reference)?  Thanks. 69.119.27.73 (talk) 01:54, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
