First time and here and what a perfect game to experience the Hawai'i Bowl. What an exciting game Hawaii won with a few minutes left on the clock unbelievable. Final score 35-31 This stadium is much smaller than our iconic Aloha Stadium which is being demolished as we speak . Although I've notice you can be up close to the players when they run out of their locker rooms compared to Aloha Stadium. Also the TC Ching field has a lot of food trucks to choose from it's basically wrapped around the entire stadium. I've seen of course beer vendors hot dogs , Burgers, garlic fries , nachos, Thai food, chicken wings, popcorn , steak plates and more . The only thing that's shy of earning 5 Stars rating is they only have Porta potties as restrooms and bleachers type of seating. Sitting for a long time during a football game can really hurt your behind. Plus you do not have a back support so I was getting a back ache near the end of. That's being said it was a great experience for my first time . A solid 4 stars support local read more

This was a charming stadium for a small attendance bowl game, and I was happy for Hawaii to win at home - it must have been an absolute thrill. Food options and drinks were plentiful. Bathrooms were plentiful. Parking was a breeze. Only thing that could have been better was a win for the California Golden Bears. read more

Clarence TC Ching Field - Go Aloha Bowl! - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Football at Ching Field. I love seeing Bowl games and this was the Hawaii Bowl. There are only portable toilets and the usual concession stands. Some chairs have backing to lean on. I loved the outdoor feel of the stadium. It was safe with a lot of security walking around. Ample parking at the University parking structure. It is a flat rate of $10 - no cash, just credit/debit cards are accepted as parking payment as soon as u drive to lot. There is a platform for people using wheelchairs to view the game from the 50 yard line read more

Had to give this a shot at least once, right? I haven't been back home to catch a game in a while, and watching the season opener UH vs Delaware game, all I could think was how much I miss Aloha Stadium. It's just not the same without the parking lot tailgating vibe! But hey, this is what we've got for now. Pro tip: snag seats on the home side--they've got built-in seat backs, so your back won't hate you by halftime. Plus, they've got actual restrooms on that side. The variety of food vendors was a nice surprise, and you do feel closer to the action, but trust me, go for seats a bit higher up so you can see the whole field. Parking wasn't the nightmare I imagined, but we played it safe and went for fast-break parking on the 5th floor. Fingers crossed they fix Aloha Stadium sooner rather than later. read more

Well... this "stadium" is definitely nothing like the Aloha Stadium, where I have been to maaaany a UH Football game. I definitely felt like we were sitting at a high school football game, those metal bleachers bringing back some not so fond highschool memories. There were seatbacks available for rent, but seriously, with the amount we paid to watch this UH vs Stanford game... We bought those $20 butt cushions instead. At least we can use them again and again... The football stadium is also not equipped with restrooms. There are either Porta potties, or you can walk into the baseball stadium to use the restroom there. The plus side for me was that it was sooo much easier to see the field and the action than at the Aloha Stadium though. But honestly, this will probably be the only time we come here this football season. read more

Clarence TC Ching Field - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I appreciate the UH Manoa building a football stadium on their campus, as it should, to make access easier for their students. Unfortunately, the Clarence TC Ching (Football) Field falls short on capacity and design. Yes, I know space is limited, but come on! These seats are pricey, yet I sat cramped in my "seat" due to the fact that the gentleman next to me sat in a "man spreading" fashion. Not cool! His friend in front of me sat sideways to give himself more room. He was spilling onto the area where my feet were. I had to tuck my legs in as his backside grazed my shoes. The seats are basic stadium bench seats; some with attached padded stadium cushions with a back rest. The rows are so narrow that it makes leaving your section difficult especially if the people do not stand up. Lol I am no longer the spring chicken that went to watch football games in college. Leaving your section is a challenge. Now I know why we stood most of the game back then...body much more flexible, benches were uncomfortable & cold during fall! Standing up during the whole Is not common practice at UH. A few of the people in my row made a conscious decision to leave the row together as a group as to not disrupt the other spectators. To make matters worse, it was an early (ESPN) game and it was blazing hot at the 4:30pm kickoff. Attendees should also be careful of all the power cords on the track. Some are not covered. I witnessed numerous people tripping over a particular set of cords; young, old & the inebriated! The PA system is horrible and staticky. The "big screen" is also in a weird location and people in my section had to lean forward to watch replays. The signage is horrible. There is a claustrophobic feel as the track had constant movement and a few kids had a football game of their own going on. The area outside of the track was packed with food and alcohol vendors. Some areas were difficult to move through with the bottleneck caused by long lines of people. Btw, there are only portable facilities just outside of the gates so be prepared if you are need of restrooms before entering the stadium. I do hope the next expansion with required extrseating will not increase the crampiness. Is that a word? Unfortunately, our season opener did not go in our favor. Best of luck to Coach Chang, his staff & players in the upcoming games. Go Warriors! read more

Really enjoyed watching the Warriors win last night over UNLV. I will definitely return, but bring my rain gear. This is a nice place to be, yes it's a little pricey, but all sporting events are. Update or correction on reviews I've seen. There is food, lots. These porta potties were brand new, spotless clean, hand sanitizer and mirror inside and hand wash stations outside. The benches are steal and backless, I thought that was football, I did see lots of cushion seats with backs, I assume those are season tickets holders, I would look into those options. Great game lots of fun, everything you need, very nice place! Congratulations Warriors! read more

Clarence TC Ching Field - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Pros: Mobile tickets convenient Parking close to stadium Location in town New turf and good lighting UH beat NMSU 20-17 UH band and cheerleaders Lots of friendly staff Cons: Bench seats Expensive food Portable potties ***************** Notes: It was easy to order tickets online and show the QR code upon entrance. UH band and cheerleaders performed well. There were several food vendors that were expensive and beware when they don't show the prices. UH didn't wrap well when tackling in the first half. But in the second half they shut out NMSU and won in the last second. Good job Coach Chang and players. Bring rain ponchos (umbrellas not allowed) since Manoa tends to rain often. Wish list: Individual seats and roof. Nice restrooms. More food vendors. read more

Perhaps I am approaching this from a college football fan's point of view but this complex is a bit disappointing. Yes, I know it's newish and has had its fair amount of upgrades to accommodate the split decision to hold all UH home games there. PARKING: parking is great and plentiful as the stadium (if you can call it that) is located right next to the parking structure with, I believe, 5 floors (definitely don't quote me on that, could be more). For UH football home games at least, you have to pay for your parking pass in advance. SEATING: high school football game. That's what it felt like as soon as I sat down. They are ordinary metal bleachers and not very many of them as you know, the stadium only holds 9000 people. At the time of this writing, "stadium seats/chairs" were not allowed so enjoy the hard, backless bleacher seat. You can purchase a seat cushion from the UH store or bring your own I suppose. Didn't make much difference to me. CONSESSIONS: what concessions? The only item sold at the complex was bottled water. You are also not permitted to bring it outside food or drink. So imagine a football game that starts or exceeds the time you normally eat dinner. Depending on what time you arrive at the game, you'll be inadvertently fasting for 5+ hours. TAILGATING: not permitted but also did not seem to be enforced. Mind you, there were plenty of HPD and campus security officers around. Yes, people were tailgating in the parking structure. SHOPPING: I had previously mentioned the UH store. Yes, they have their store set up in a tent and due to COVID, enforcing social distancing - only allowing a certain number of patrons inside the tent and requiring hand sanitization upon entry. Otherwise, this may have been the only good thing about the game. RESTROOMS: ah, I almost forgot this one. There are no restrooms, only port-a-potties. Come one, even high school stadiums have restrooms! On a high note, there were plenty of them staged around the stadium so I doubt there was ever a long line. And they do have portable washing stations to wash your hands afterwards. SCOREBOARD: it took me forever to comprehend, but they absolutely did not have a scoreboard! They had the countdown timers at each endzone but no scoreboard. This is a Jumbo-tron-like apparatus but until the 4th quarter, it only showed commercials, hype videos, and replays. I think whoever was in charge finally picked up on this not-so-little detail and aired the live feed of the game on the board which then showed the score, etc. In short, awesome practice field for scrimmages and flag football. Awful venue for college football games. read more

This is an embarrassment as a D1 football venue. You sit cheek to cheek on sketchy metal bleachers. There's no scoreboard. The audio system seems designed to inflict screeching maximum pain. UH football is done. read more

The Clarence Ching Gymnasium is a pretty nice place. It is well maintained, and kept clean. The equipment is in good shape and pretty much new. It is conveniently located, and has free parking in the underground garage. read more
