The Aloha Stadium will open its turnstile gates at 3:30 p.m. instead of 2 p.m. for Saturday's University of Hawaii football homecoming game against Utah State.

The stadium personnel also is asking fans to behave responsibly.

“We had some challenges both in the parking lots and inside the stadium at our last UH game,” Aloha Stadium Manager Scott Chan said. “Some fans are not behaving responsibly and creating a negative experience for others. We are asking everyone to be responsible for themselves so everyone can enjoy the UH football game experience. We need everyone to know that we will not tolerate irresponsible behavior and are making operational adjustments to help alleviate these challenges.”

Tailgating rules will be enforced, including confiscating illegally erected tents in the parking lots. Fans will not be allowed to loiter in the parking lot after the game begins as law enforcement officers will be actively sweeping all parking lots. Security guards will also prevent fans from entering the stadium turnstiles if they appear to be too intoxicated.

The Honolulu Police Department will also be performing sobriety checks around the stadium after the game. Fans are asked to drink responsibly and use a designated driver.

The Lower Halawa Parking Lot (Gates 3 and 4) will open at 11:30 a.m. while all other lots (Upper Halawa, UH Reserved, and Kamehameha) will open at 12:30 p.m.
