[edit] Rust problem?

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)

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)

[edit] 3.5 Million Tons?

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)

[edit] Concerts

 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)RobWright

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Hulabowl07.jpg

Image:Hulabowl07.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
