It’s good to see somebody with some authority planning ahead regarding the University of Hawaii football team’s Sept. 10 home opener at Aloha Stadium.

In particular, that would be stadium manager Scott Chan, who on Thursday asked Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation officials what he can expect at the game’s kick-off time.

Chan is concerned because being stuck in traffic miles away from the stadium while the game is already underway, or arriving on time and finding that the parking lot is already full, is what happened to fans trying to attend the NFL Pro Bowl in January, thanks to rail construction in the area that reduced highway access and parking as well.

Not so encouraging: A HART official told Chan they would get back to him.
