Before Aloha Stadium, there was Honolulu Stadium. It was built in 1926 in Mōʻiliʻili and was home to high school and college football games, professional baseball games, polo matches, stock car races, concerts and more. It was affectionately called the “Termite Palace” in reference to its pest-riddled wooden structure. In 1997, PBS Hawaiʻi broadcast a special one-hour episode of Spectrum Hawaiʻi recounting the history of the neighborhood venue through vintage photographs, legendary voices and indelible memories.
