ProBowl, Season Finale and other Hawaii (State of), HI Sports Travel Tips

Theme: Sports Watching

Be there! This is always sold out, and be warned, get your tickets EARLY, or it's the Yellow section for you. Each of my family roots for a different team, so our section of the bleachers is highly competitive in itself.

Equipment: No bags or backpacks, no outside food or drinks ... all must be left in your vehicle before you enter the stadium grounds for the game. WAIT ... but bring everything you need for a tailgate party, and plan on being there early for better parking spots. Late comers will find themselves parking in overflows, and when the game is over ... there will be TRAFFIC. Parking fee is $5.

Thanks to another VT'er, (bigern) I checked up on the skateboard facility on Hickam AFB. I'm not into seeing the kiddos get hurt, so I usually watch long enough for them to show off their skills, and move on! There is a pond, and pit, and many other ramps in the open. One fee of $5 keeps you there until they close down for the evening ...

Equipment: Bring your own equipment! They do have rental gear, but be warned ... they have an aweful odor about them!!! You can use the ramps with skateboard and blades, and even some ramps can be used for scooters and bicycles.

Soccer seems to be the hot sport here on the islands, much as it has become very popular in the rest of the mainland states. Both of my sons have played in area teams, my oldest sticking it out for several season and his team making first in the silver division. In my opinion, this has taught youth discipline and dedication in staying with the team.

Equipment: Many divisions take teams stateside for tournaments, but also do many teams fly over here for tournaments. Bring all your gear, as you will more than likely pay a higher price for fogotten items. Sports Authority is our main soccer sports store, though not limited to.
