Geocache Description:

Aloha Stadium, Hawaii's Sports Center. The view from the cache spot is one of my favorites of the stadium. I've passed this spot hundreds of times to attend events here. Brings back lots of memories: Islander Baseball with my Dad, Football games with my buds, and Concerts with my wife. It wouldn't be a good idea to attempt this cache on gameday.

Cache note:
The cache is a NANO (for now), so please bring a writing tool. Log State Survey Mark TU1451, really close by. Mahalo (Thank You).
