Ahead of Hawaii football's season opener, UH encourages fans to take in gameday experiences

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – Soon fans will be filing into the stands at the Clarence TC Ching Athletics Complex as the University of Hawaii football team opens the season against Delaware State.

For those fans in attendance, there is a lot in store as far as what goes on during and before the game and UH officials are encouraging the public to come out and support the ‘Bows.

“Timmy’s telling me our talent level is up and we’ve put a lot of emphasis on trying to get people in the stadium and enhancing their experience here,” UH Athletics Director Craig Angelos told Hawaii News Now. “We hired an outbound ticket sales staff this off season and so we’re hoping to have a great crowd.”

Returning this season is the “Kickoff at the Les” concert series with Nesian 9 leading off the year. There will also be multiple food and drink venders in the stadium open two hours prior to kick.

“If you’re at a football game, you’re going to have fun at University of Hawaii football, It’s simple as that,” UH director of marketing and fan experience Eric Mathews said. “You have over 25 different choices of food trucks and different things to choose from, to enjoy the game, you have the perfect vision of the game because there’s not a bad seat in this place.”

Along with the venders, roaming drink hawkers will be in the stands during the game, but a big question among the UH faithful remains, what about tailgating?

“We’ve been working hard as a group athletics with upper campus to make this happen, the plan right now is we’re going to do our pregame Kickoff at the Les for the first four games,” Mathews said. “For homecoming, we’re going to move everything up to upper campus in the legacy path for homecoming, we’ll have a party up there , the last game of the season against New Mexico senior night, November 30th, we’ll have that up there, but we’re going to try to add tailgating.”

Until then, there’s a ton for ‘Bows fans to soak in on gamedays.

“I promise you you’re not going to walk away from a game going, I didn’t have fun,” Mathews said. “You will look at your friends, you will look at your kids, you will look at your family and go that was fun.”

Kickoff is set for 6:00 p.m. Hawaii time with the game available on Spectrum pay-per-view and Hawaiian Telcom.

2026 Sony Open field is announced. See who’s playing in Hawaii

The Sony Open in Hawaii has the honors of being the kickoff event to the 2026 PGA Tour season after the cancellation of The Sentry at Kapalua this season.

Instead of Maui, the Tour debuts in Honolulu on the island of Oahu, Jan. 15-18, at the Seth Raynor-designed Waialae Country Club, where Nick Taylor prevailed in a playoff over Nico Echavarria last year.

Among the changes this season is the field size, which was reduced from 144 to 120, and, there is no longer is a Monday qualifier offering four spots. Will that help with pace of play? Stay tuned.

The field includes the following notables in addition to Taylor and Echavarria: Daniel Berger, Keegan Bradley, Michael Brennan, Corey Conners, Tony Finau, Chris Gotterup, Brian Harman, Russell Henley, Billy Horschel, Robert MacIntyre, Collin Morikawa, Adam Scott, Jordan Spieth, Sahith Theegala, Gary Woodland and 62-year-old Vijay Singh.

Here’s the full field for the Sony Open, which will be live on Golf Channel all four days as well as NBC with early-round coverage on Saturday and Sunday.

This year’s Sony purse is $9.1 million and the winner also will receive 500 FedEx Cup points.
