Geocache Description:


THE HULA BOWL

The cache is not located at the above listed coordinates. You must first figure out the REAL coordinates to “The Hula Bowl”. Please be aware of our slithery friends and even an occasional muggle or two. Oh and practice C.I.T.O. if you can.

The Hula Bowl was an independently administered post-season invitational college football game held each year in Hawaii from 1947 to 2008. The game was last played at Aloha Stadium in the Ha-lawa district of Honolulu, Hawaii. At one point the longest-running sporting event in Hawaii, it had been considered a premier venue to launch professional careers in the National Football League. Hula Bowl was a trademarked institution of the Downtown Athletic Club, of Heisman Trophy fame.

D. In 196(D) North beat the South 27 - 26.

E. On July 1, 2006, it was announced that the AFCA would end its ten-year relationship with the Hula Bowl due to "philosophical differences" over the future plans for the game, including proposed changes for the 2007 game — such as reintroducing the "Hawaiian Islands versus Mainland" matchup used from 1947 to 195(E).

F. Aloha Stadium hosted this game from 1975–9(F), and started hosting the game again in 2006 after being moved back from War Memorial Stadium.
