The Hawaii football team has described road games against Washington and Nevada-Las Vegas as a “business trip.”

And, like many business travelers, the Warriors are making use of the hotel’s amenities.

The fitness center has become the weight-training room.

One meeting room has been transformed into a training area, complete with medical supplies.

Another meeting room is the locker room, with uniforms and helmets spread across the floor.

A dining room has become a video room, and a ballroom has become a dining room.

Two ballrooms that were used for a formal banquet Thursday night became the Warriors’ indoor practice facility Friday.

The ground-level lobby is where players meet with family members. The second-floor lobby is where NFL scouts meet with the coaches.

And the second-floor cafeteria has become the study hall because it offers free Wi-Fi. The hotel charges $10 a day for Internet service in the hotel rooms.

UH provides two all-you-canscarf, buffet-styled meals every day. Players receive a per diem for the third meal.

UH also provides late-night snacks. Thursday night, each member of the traveling squad received a medium-sized pizza.

All of which is significant for the walk-on players on the trip. When the Warriors are in Hawaii, the school is not allowed to provide meals for non-scholarship players.

The Warriors check out of the hotel today, then travel to Las Vegas tonight.

As per their usual schedule, the players will have the day off Sunday. They are not permitted to be in the sports book. They will be sequestered in the hotel the rest of the week, with an in-the-room curfew at 11 p.m. The players will be allowed to use the hotel’s bowling center and movie complex. Huskies students not at school

Washington’s fall semester does not start for another two weeks, but 240 students have put in 12hour days on campus.

“We’ve been going 8 to 8 this whole week,” said Greg Martin, who plays trumpet for the Husky Marching Band.

The band, which was formed in 1911, has been honored for its performances. There were intensive rehearsals in June. This past Monday, the freshmen reported. The next day, the veteran musicians reported. For today’s game, the band had to learn the Warriors’ fight song in three days. The band also will spell out UH’s “H” during the pregame show. UH cheerleaders get some help

The UH cheerleaders, augmented by some alumni living in the Pacific Northwest, will be on hand for the Warriors’ game with Washington today.

Eight members of the current UH squad, along with head coach Mike Baker and assistant Haley Collins, are paying their own way to the game, a UH spokeswoman said. They are scheduled to arrive just before game time.

The band will join UH next week at the Nevada-Las Vegas game. Enough reunions to go around

It will be a reunion of sorts for the Clapp family.

Receiver Justin Clapp is on the traveling squad and his father, associate athletic director Carl, is also making the trip.

Sister Jennifer works in the Washington ticket office.

“No free tickets for us, though,” Carl Clapp said.

There was also a reunion of 1980 Hawaii high school all-stars at Friday’s UH workout, with Leroy Lutu (Pac-Five), Nuu Faaola (Farrington) and Rich Miano (Kaiser) getting together for a brief chat. Lutu, father of UH defensive back Leroy Jr., owns a business near Seattle and Faaola is a personal trainer in the area. Miano is a UH assistant coach
