New contracts have been signed to move forward with the demolition and construction of a new Aloha Stadium — set to open in 2029.

HPR spoke with Steve Wood, president of the ʻAiea Neighborhood Board — the community that will host the proposed 98-acre stadium and business district. Wood spoke about the questions and concerns he's heard from his community since the project was first discussed, nearly eight years ago.
