Honolulu Stadium, Former multi-purpose stadium in Moiliili, United States
Honolulu Stadium was a wooden multi-purpose venue at King and Isenberg Streets in Moʻiliʻili, with home plate in the northwest corner. Its outfield measured 325 ft to left, 305 ft to right and 430 ft to center, and in its final years it held about 25,000 spectators.
Built in 1926, the facility became Hawaii's primary sports venue for decades. Wooden structural elements eventually fell victim to termite damage, leading to its closure and demolition in 1976.
The venue served as a gathering place where local fans could watch top baseball talent perform and where the community came together for sporting events. It represented an important social hub for entertainment in Hawaii during much of the twentieth century.
The stadium is gone: it was demolished in 1976 and Old Stadium Park now occupies the King and Isenberg Streets site. A plaque at that corner marks the spot, and part of the property wall that stood behind the west-end stands still remains. The park is in Moʻiliʻili, about 3.7 km east of downtown Honolulu.
The venue attracted top baseball talent from the mainland, including legendary players who traveled to perform before Hawaiian audiences. This connection brought national sports prominence to the islands during an era when professional baseball was reaching new audiences.
