| - I've been coming here every other year..........just to support the University of Hawaii Football program. As an alumni of the University of Hawaii........isn't it the right thing to do?
The Sam Boyd Stadium is not too far from the Sam Boyd's downtown hotels........I wanna say it's probably about 12 to 15 miles away, and very easy to find.
A few things I like about this little stadium -
- Free parking........yeah most of it is on a dirt road, but who cares? FREE PARKING! Get it?
- Food & Drinks are a little cheaper than what I would pay at the Aloha Stadium. For instance...........Beer here is just $7 bucks, where as I pay $9.50 at home.
But a bad thing about this place -
There is no individual seating........just a hard metal bench seating. The good thing is you can pack more people into this little stadium, but the bad thing is.......if the game runs long, it can be pretty hard on your butt!
This is a outdoor stadium.........and we Hawaii folks are not use to the "cold" in the winter time.
I don't know what I was thinking when I came up here............as I was just planning on just bringing up shorts, t-shirt, & a light jacket. Lucky for me, my smart girlfriend told me that it would not be wise, and that I should wear pants & layer my shirts. Thanks Jules Y.! You da bestest & smartest gf!
And you know what? As the sun came down..........and it turned into night.......it was quite nippy at the stadium. I see a few Hawaii bruddah's who went with shorts & t-shirts.........and I could see they were a little uncomfortable. But as for me.........I was warm as a puppy dog.......with the exception on when I left the stadium, and the winds picked up! MAN! It was so cold..........I felt like a frozen Popsicle! I had to blast that heater in the car for a little while.............but I was okay.
Although we lost again, and took a beat down from UNLV. At least I was happy to see a lot of Hawaii people supporting the University of Hawaii Football program!
The people of Las Vegas were nice, and there was definitely good sportsmanship, as there were no fights or taunting.
