Always Investigating reports on plans to redevelop the stadium district by 2023. A new facility is being fast-tracked with big money earmarked and a lot of different agencies involved.

It’s been a long-slow uphill push over more than a decade to do something as Aloha Stadium ages ever closer to the end of its useful life.

“It costs us $20 million to $30 million a year just to keep that current facility standing,” said state Sen. Glenn Wakai, (D), who chairs the Senate’s Energy, Economic Development and Tourism committee and whose district includes the Salt Lake area near the stadium. “I mean, there’s no reason to put more money into an old jalopy.”

Suddenly this past legislative session, replacing the stadium got a green light on a wide-open fast lane and a $350 million jump start.

“We’re elated,” said Ross Yamasaki, chairman of the Stadium Authority. “To use a sports metaphor, this is as close to the goal line as we’ve ever come before.”

As public projects go, it’s supposed to happen at a record pace.

“They’re pretty upbeat and optimistic about having a new stadium ready for the football season in 2023,” said Aedward Los Banos, executive director of the Hawaii Community Development Authority, which the stadium-money law injected into the mix this year.

Asked if they can make the 2023 deadline, Los Banos said: “We’re going to try our best.”
