Multipurpose Event Facility - June 2014
Hawai’i Multipurpose Event Facility
The University of Hawai’i at Manoa Athletics Department has commissioned this study for the programming and conceptual planning and design of an outdoor Multipurpose Event Facility that will seat a minimum of 30,000 spectators to be located at an undetermined site on the island of Oahu.
The highlights of the programming, conceptual planning and design for the facility are as follows:
• A single entertainment facility for the Hawai’i community capable of multipurpose use in a versatile facility. The facility should be able to host intercollegiate football and be the home stadium for University of Hawai’i Warrior Football, high school football, collegiate and professional/international soccer and rugby matches, other sporting events, and also host musical concerts and large community events.
• The seating for the facility includes both a lower level seating deck and an upper level seating deck on two sides of the facility. There is premium suite and club seating along with general seating, along with media facilities and support facilities for athletes, entertainers, and spectators. All seating is chair back seating with wider seat widths for the suite and club seating.
• Determined the necessary acreage footprint to construct the facility. Since no site has been selected for the facility, the footprint is only for the building and does not include a determination of the parking requirements and the required acreage for the parking.
• Incorporated where possible in the exterior or layout of the facility, design elements recognizing the history, culture, and traditions of Hawai’i with nostalgic elements reminiscent of the old Honolulu Stadium.
Individuals or groups that were determined by the University of Hawai’i at Manoa Athletics Department Director of Athletics, Ben Jay, were consulted during this study to discuss in detail the facility program and space require-ment for the facility. They also reviewed preliminary drafts of the facility program and early conceptual layouts, and their comments have been incorporated into the final facility program and conceptual design that are shown in this report.
The University of Hawai’i Athletics Department along with the design team identified relevant outdoor multipur-pose entertainment facilities and/or stadiums at peer institutions or municipalities for benchmarking and planning purposes. These facilities included:
• U.S. Naval Academy Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium: seating capacity 34,000.• University of Nevada, Las Vegas Sam Boyd Stadium: seating capacity 36,800.• University of Nevada, Reno Mackay Stadium: seating capacity 30,000.• StubHub Center Stadium, Carson, CA: seating capacity 27,000 for soccer, 30,500 for concerts.• Columbus Crew Stadium, Columbus, OH: seating capacity 20,145 for soccer, 30,000 for concerts.• Sporting Park, Kansas City, MO: seating capacity 18,467 for soccer, 25,000 for concerts.
Facility Acreage Footprint
The building footprint of the facility is 595 feet by 782 feet for a total building footprint area of 465,290 square
feet or 10.65 acres. The total building area for the facility is approximately 660,000 square feet.
Event Configurations
The conceptual plan shows a field/event dimension of roughly 283 feet by 483 feet with an area of approximately 121,000 square feet. The dimension of the playable area for athletic events is 265 feet by 400 feet which is an area of 106,000 square feet. For comparison purposes, the field dimension of Aloha Stadium is roughly 240 feet by 450 feet with an area of approximately 108,000 square feet. The field dimension of the old Honolulu Stadium was roughly 360 feet by 360 feet with an area of approximately 130,000 square feet. The old Honolulu Stadium’s field was sized so that baseball could be played at the facility. The Event Configuration diagrams show the following layouts:
• American Football: Field of play dimension including the End Zones of 160 feet by 360 feet with generous dimensions along the sidelines for the teams, coaches, and officials (50+ feet along each sideline), and also generous dimensions behind the End Zones (40+ feet behind each End Zone). • Collegiate / International Soccer: Field of play dimension of 75 yards (225 feet) by 120 yards (360 feet) which is approximately 68.59 meters by 109.76 meters. There is a safety area along all sides of the playing field of 20 feet for team areas, coaches, officials, and photographers.
• Collegiate / International Rugby: Field of play dimension of 230 feet by 374 feet, approximately 70 meters by 114 meters, with a safety area along all sides of the playing field of 20 feet for team areas, coaches, and officials.
• Concert: This layout shows a removable stage at one end of the field with areas for folding chair seating on the field for concert events. The number of chairs that can be accommodated on the field will vary between 5,000 to 8,000 depending on the layout for a concert event. It is thus estimated that the facility will have a seating capacity of between 35,000 and 38,000 for concert events. In addition to football, soccer, and rugby the size of the field of play will also allow for lacrosse.
The old Honolulu Stadium was used for motor events such as motorcycle and stock car races, horsing events such as polo and rodeo, and for boxing and many concert events besides its prime use for football and baseball during its 49 year history. It is anticipated that a new Multipurpose Event Facility will used for a variety of events as the old Honolulu Stadium was.
Seating Breakdown
The seating that is shown on the conceptual plans for the Multipurpose Event Facility is on two levels, a Lower Bowl for seating between the playing field and the Concourse, and an Upper Bowl for seating above the Concourse. The Concourse will serve as a main circulation that will circle the entire facility and will provide access not only to all Bowl seating for General ticket holders, but the public amenities such as Restrooms and Concessions. In addi-tion to these seats there is a lawn area for casual seating just below the Concourse behind one of the End Zones of the playing field, with fixed seating below this lawn area down to the field level of the facility. This lawn area will not have fixed seats but provide an area for lawn chair type seating or for the spreading out of a blanket for seating

Upper Bowl: General Seats 8,408 seats Suite Seats 693 Upper Bowl total: 9,101 seats
Total Seats: 30,585 seats
Lawn Seats: 530 seats (estimation for casual seating)
Facility Layout and the Plans for the Facility
The Multipurpose Event Facility has been planned to be a building with three Levels with a fourth Level on one side of the field for the Press Box. Due to the water table of building sites on Oahu, the lowest level of the facility that is called the Playing Field / Service Level, will be at grade and not have a field that is depressed below the level of the surrounding grade. The description of the Levels and the program for these Levels is as follows:
Playing Field / Service Level
This Level serves as both the main entry for spectators and as a service entry for the facility. This is the ground level of the facility and contains both the playing field and a large majority of the service and support facilities for the building.
Two the diagonally opposite corners of this Level will serve as the entry for General ticket holders for events. These spectators will proceed through the entry gates and then up stairs or elevators to the Main Concourse Level to access their seats. There will be Ticket Offices / ticket windows just off of the entry gates. There will also be two VIP entries to the facilities at this Level for ticket holders to the Club and VIP suites. These entries will be at two sides of this Level. One entry will take spectators directly up to the University Club and Suites at the Suite Level of the facility with elevators. The other VIP entry will take spectators into a Field Club that will have a direct view of the playing field and also provide direct access through a set of stairs and elevators to the Club seats on the Main Concourse Level and the Club Suites on the Suite Level above. These elevators will also provide access to the Press Box which is located above the Club Suites.
The two other diagonally opposite corners of the Playing Field / Service Level will provide service entry into load-ing docks. One service entry will be the primary loading dock for the facility and have access to the Home Team Locker Room and the stage area of concert events on the playing field, with direct access out to the playing field.
There will be a Stage Storage off of this loading dock for the stage, and also a main Security Office and Marshalling area off of this loading dock. The other service entry will provide access to a secondary loading dock for the facility and provide access to a Field Maintenance area and primary Storage areas for the facility, also with direct access out to the playing field.
Adjacent to the Home Team Locker Room will be an Interview Room for press conferences to take place with team members and coaches. Also on this side of this Level on the other side of the Field Club from the Home Team Locker Room will be the Visitor’s Locker Room. The Visitors would enter the Level through the secondary Service Entry and then through a corridor to the Visitor’s Locker Room. Both the Home Team and the Visitors will be able to access the playing field through corner entries out to the field, but the Home Team will also be able to enter the field at the middle of the field, which would also allow for spectators in the Field Club to have a view of the Home Team going in and coming off of the playing field from the Home Locker Room.
On the opposite side of the playing field at this Level will be Auxiliary Locker Rooms for additional teams when an athletic event requires locker rooms for multiple teams. These Locker Rooms could be used by high school teams. These Auxiliary Locker Rooms can also be used as performer changing rooms for concert or community events that will take place in the facility, or as Green Rooms. Additional Storage and a Stadium Operations space will also be on this side of this Level. The main Ticket Office for the facility will be a part of the Stadium Operations space with ticket windows to the outside of the facility.
Adjacent to the Marshalling area will be a Commissary that will serve as the Central Kitchen and food preparation and food storage area for the facility. This Commissary will have direct access to the Main Loading Dock. Prepared food and food supplies can be transported to the Concessions, Clubs, and Suites on the Levels above by elevators from this Commissary.
Main Concourse Level
This Level provides access to both the Lower Bowl and the Upper Bowl seating areas of the facility and to the Pub-lic Restrooms and Concessions for the spectators. Note the knockout panels/retractable seating at the lower rows of the corners of the Lower Bowl. The Concourse will provide views to the playing field both for the spectators as they proceed to and from their seats, and as the spectators go the Public Restrooms and Concessions both during the events and at intermissions for the events. There will be Public Restrooms on all four sides of this Level with the large majority of the Restrooms located on the sides of the facility where there is Upper Bowl seating. The Concessions will also be on all four sides of this Level with two primary Concession areas with seating at two of the diagonally opposite corners of this Level, and also a Lawn Club / Food Court immediately adjacent to the Lawn Seating area of the Lower Bowl. This Lawn Club will also have views to the outside of the facility. On the side of this Level that has access to the Club seats on the Lower Bowl, there is an access to the Club space at the top of the Club seats as this Club is at the Concourse Level.
Suite Level
The plan for this Level shows the Upper Bowl seating on two sides of the facility. The Upper Bowl seats are ac-cessed from the Main Concourse Level below by stairs.
Multipurpose Event Facility - June 2014
On another side of this Level are the Club Suites, which have a variety of sizes of suites. They are made up of one 36-person Central Suite, six 24-person Sideline Suites, and twenty 18-person suites. Each of these suites will have a seating area looking out to the playing field with a lounge seating area and a serving counter for food and bever-ages adjacent to the seats. These Club Suites will have two sets of restrooms for the suites one on each end of this Club Suite area. There will also be Pantries at each end for the prepping and storage of food for the Suites that will come from the Commissary on the Playing Field / Service Level. Access to the Club Suites are through the Field Club located on the Playing Field / Service Level of the facility. Above these Club Suites will be the Press Box for the facility.
The fourth side of the Suite Level is the location of the University Club for private events such as functions hosted by the President of the University of Hawai’i, which can also be rented out to other groups for other events in the facility. There are two Concession or food serving counters at the two ends of the University Club to provide food and beverages for events in the Club. As a part of the University Club, there are three 40-person University Suites that look directly out to the playing field. The University Club itself will have views not only out to the playing field, but also to the outside of the facility from a Balcony off of the Club. The University Club will have restrooms at both ends of the Club space. Access to the University Club and Suites is from the VIP Entry on the Playing Field / Service Level of the facility.
The locations for the two main Scoreboards for the facility are also called out on this Suite Level plan. One score-board is at the top of the Upper Bowl seating behind one of the End Zones of the playing field, and the other score-board is above the University Club behind the other End Zone of the playing field.
Sections through the Facility
There are three building sections that help to show the Levels and massing of the conceptual design of the Multi-purpose Event Facility, and also the proposed medium roof covering around different sides of the facility.
The first section is through the portions of the facility that have both Lower Bowl and Upper Bowl seating sections and show the roof overhang over the seating. This section also shows the location of the Main Concourse and the Public Restrooms off of this Concourse.
The second section is through the side of the facility that has the Lower Bowl seating, including Club seats, with the Field Club below these seats, and the Upper section that has the Club, and Club Suites with the Press Box on top of the Suites.
The third section is through the side of the facility behind one of the End Zones that has the a portion of Lower Bowl seating and the Lawn seating area between the playing field and the Main Concourse, and has the Lawn Club / Food Court off of the Concourse with the University Club and University Suites above the Lawn Club.
Renderings
Two renderings have been done for this study that show three-dimensional views of the conceptual design for the Multipurpose Event Facility.
The first rendering is a view of one of the corner public entries into the facility that gives one an overall view into the facility. You can see the large stairways that takes the spectators from the ground level entry up to the Main
Concourse Level with a view of the playing field and the Lower Bowl and Upper Bowl seating to the left with the roof covering over the Upper Bowl seating, and a view of the Suites and Press Box to the right along with the Uni-versity Club. This rendering also shows the two locations of the main scoreboards for the facility behind the two End Zones – one suspended from the roof overhang of the Upper Bowl bleachers behind one End Zone, and the other on the top of the University Club behind the other End Zone. The rendering also shows a ribbon message board that will encircle the facility between the Upper Bowl and the Lower Bowl of the facility.
The second rendering is an aerial view of the facility from the University Club end of the facility that shows the public entry at the lower right of the rendering and a concession area on the lower left of the rendering. This aerial best shows the proposed roof structure over the Upper Bowl seating on two sides of the facility, and also over the Suites / Press Box side of the facility.
Special Design Elements
The conceptual design incorporates the following design elements that recognizes the history, culture, and tradi-tions of Hawai’i with nostalgic elements reminiscent of the old Honolulu Stadium:
• Corner entries into the facility: The old Honolulu Stadium had prominent entries into that facility at the Mauka-Diamond Head (northeast) and the Makai-Diamond Head (southeast) corners of the Stadium. The conceptual design for the Multipurpose Event Facility proposes the main entries for the public be at two of the four corners of the facility.
• Placement of the roof over the seating in the facility: The old Honolulu Stadium had a covered seating Grandstand area that wrapped around the corner of the home plate area of the baseball field layout for the Stadium which was the Mauka-Ewa (northwest) corner of the facility. The conceptual design of the Multipurpose Event Facility proposes to have a portion of the roof structure wrap around a corner of the facility that will provide shading over two sides of the facility reminiscent of the old Honolulu Stadium.
• Scoreboard: The old Honolulu Stadium had a scoreboard at the back of the Diamond Head or east bleachers of the Stadium that had an almost oval shape with a separate clock on one side of the scoreboard. This scoreboard and clock was an icon of the Stadium and so the conceptual design of the Multipurpose Event Facility proposes to have a scoreboard and clock on top of the University Club end of the facility that echoes the shape and layout of the old Honolulu Stadium scoreboard and clock, but uses the latest digital technology for the information and time that will be shown on this new scoreboard and clock.
Roof Studies, Sun Shadow Studies and Orientation
Included in this study for information purposes are the studies that were presented to the University of Hawai’i Athletics Department staff for the size of a proposed roof covering over portions of the facility showing sections through the seating section of the facility with both the Upper Bowl and the Lower Bowl. The sections show the options for a Small Roof, a Medium Roof, and a Large Roof. Also included are the study of the amount of shadows over the seating that the different sizes of the roof would provide over the seating areas at different times of a typi-cal afternoon. For the sake of the shadow studies the facility was assumed to have a north-south or mauka-makai orientation, even though the site for the facility is undetermined at this time. After reviewing these sections and the shadow studies, the Athletics Department Staff decided to proceed with a Medium Roof for the facility, which is approximately 75 feet in width and will cover the majority of the Upper Bowl seating. This is what is shown on
Multipurpose Event Facility - June 2014
the final sections and renderings of the facility.
Budget and Schedule
A construction and project cost estimate and a project schedule were not a part of this study since it is only a conceptual program and planning exercise, and especially since the site for a Multipurpose Event Facility is unde-termined at this time. But the following are some thoughts on ballpark cost estimates and a project schedule for a facility in Hawai’i:
There are currently two new collegiate stadiums that are under construction in the State of Texas for Baylor Uni-versity, a 45,000 seat facility, and at the University of Houston, a 40,000 seat facility. The stadium at the University of Houston is more in line to the concept that has been planned for the Multipurpose Event Facility in this study and the cost of the Houston facility can be used as a rough guideline of the potential construction and project cost for a facility in Hawai’i. The Houston facility does not have any roof coverings in it. Based on the construction cost of the Houston facility, a 30,000 seat facility in Hawai’i would cost approximately $126 million without any roof covering, and adding the 75 foot medium roof coverings would add another $20 million to this cost for a total of $146 million. The ballpark construction cost estimate is only for the building and does not include any infrastruc-ture costs because of the undetermined site at this time. The total project cost, adding amounts for fees, permits, contingencies, furniture and equipment, etc., would be approximately $165 million for a facility without roof cov-erings and approximately $190 million for a facility with roof coverings.
Looking at the project schedules for the facilities at Baylor University and the University of Houston, a potential project schedule for the Multipurpose Event Facility in Hawai’i would have 12 to 18 months for design and con-struction documents, 6 months for the plan check and permitting process, 3 months for construction bidding, and a minimum of 24 months for the construction of the facility. It is possible that the plan check and permitting process and the construction bidding process could be done concurrently which would reduce the overall schedule by approximately 3 months.
