What ever happened to New field turf & track for Aiea HS? I heard they have the most capacity for fans because they have bleachers around the whole field.
$3mil turf & track seems like a steal compared to wasting time and money watering and cutting real grass every day/week.
How does McKinley and Kalani get new turf & track when games are not even played there.
SMH??
Schools like Kailua, Kahuku, Aiea, Kapolei, Waianae should get it.
