We’re heading there in January next year.
I’ll conduct my own Innforcers tour feasibility study!
You’re welcome 🍻
Wasn't there a plan for a Hawaii team in Rapid Rugby.
Possibly expansion speculation than actual locked in plan?Quote:

Having been at Suncorp and SFS with 10,000 in the crowd (or AAMI with the Innforcer crew adding a significant %'age of the attendance!) you just get no atmosphere.
Aloha Stadium is closed to events and expected to be demolished this year for a proposed 35,000 repayment on the same site.Quote:

Fair enough. Having a 50,000 seat stadium seems a bit redundant seeing as they've no professional sports teams, and the college bowl and NFL Pro Bowl games have moved back to the mainland.
Not to mention funding. Might also be an idea to get Pacifika up to speed before any more brainstorming on expansions.Quote:

Hawaii should have a side in MLR.
