AD wants Aloha Stadium alcohol ban
HONOLULU — University of Hawaii’s interim athletic director says Aloha Stadium should consider banning alcohol sales during Warrior games.
Rockne Freitas tells Hawaii News Now (https://ow.ly/dRRyw ) he wants to see a ban. A fight involving drunken fans during last week’s football game against Lamar prompted Freitas to ask Aloha Stadium management to discuss an alcohol ban with the stadium authority. The authority has the power to impose one.
Public testimony defeated a 2006 attempt to ban alcohol.
Stadium officials did not comment on Freitas’ suggestion.
The university doesn’t profit from alcohol sales during Warrior games. But the university sells alcohol during some campus sporting events. Freitas says the university will examine that policy in light of the recent fight.
