HAWAII VS BYU - ALOHA STADIUM

HAWAII VS BYU

ALOHA STADIUM

HONOLULU, HAWAII

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.
