HAWAII VS BYU - TAILGATE PARTY AT ALOHA STADIUM

TAILGATE PARTY AT ALOHA STADIUM

The last tailgate party and football game of the season started off pretty slow in the parking lot of Aloha Stadium.  Wind and a slight drizzle of rain kept many fans at home but slowly people began to arrive to our last tailgate party of the season.  By the time the game started our party was in high gear and packed with fans enjoying a great Taco Bar catered by Serg's Mexican Kitchen and a Beer and Wine Bar hosted by beautiful local models Katie Daly and Taylor Kaneshiro.  The party got into school spirit mode when the Rainbow Dancers and Drumb Line showed up to play and dance.  They were incredible and really got the fans pumped for the game.  So thankful to the Dancers and Band for always dropping by our tailgate parties.  Really makes a huge difference and takes the party to another level.  People really start to party and have fun after the performance.  Gotta say that our Serg's Mexican Kitchen Taco Bar was a huge hit.  People were LOVING the tacos and YES they were delicious.  Serg put out a spread with probably 8 different types of tacos.  Shredded Beef, Carne Asada, Chicken, Fish, Vegetable, Carnitas, Chorizo, Al Pastor and a delicious Green Chile and Pork.

So blessed to pull these tailgate parties off with the help of a lot of people and especially Kimo Kai from the U.H. Foundation.  It takes a lot of preparation, work, time and money to do these parties but it is worth it if we can bring back some School spirit and get people to attend the football games.  Looking forward to doing it all again next year at every home game at Aloha Stadium.

My Bows lost 41-20.  Made a game of it during the first half but as usual faltered in the second half.  I think Coach McMackin will be released so we can begin a new era in Manoa.  While we were no match for BYU on the field, we can hold a candle to most teams when it comes to stadium food and beer stands.  Aloha Stadium must have the most beer stands of any college football team.  They are every ten feet around the stadium.  The food selections are pretty good too.  We finally found the Famous Pastrami Sandwich ($8) that many people have blogged about.  My wife waited in line for a while to get her hands on one.  Turns out this little stadium sandwich is really good.  They really put a lot of butter on the bread and toast it nicely.  Then add pastrami, cheese and a sort of Thousand Island Dressing.  I loved it!  We normally stick with the regular stadium hot dogs but this time tried the Woody's Hot Dog Stand.  Glad we did.  The Woody's dog ($7.50) is on a really good bun and served up with Chicago Style Green Relish, Mustard, Onions and Sport Peppers.  Just cannot get over the expensive price for a hot dog. Great bun, great hot dog flavor and great condiments.  My girls devoured slices of Papa Johns Pizza that are sold all around the stadium.  We wore green and white headbands that were given out to the first few thousand fans.  Ran into the Mayor of Honolulu and his wife at the beer stand and enjoyed some lively conversation.  He was actually pretty nice this time.  My friend Aldrino walked around the stadium prior to kickoff and we just thanked the Lord for letting us live in Hawaii.  Really a very special place with great people, food and weather.  Beers are $7.50 each which is a bit high.
