Although Hawaii has had a few professional sports teams in the past, collegiate sports are really the only locally televised sports events in Hawaii today.

The University of Hawaii in Manoa is the only major university in Hawaii and it is home to about 20 NCAA Division I varsity teams in affiliation with the Western Athletic Conference (WAC). Although spectators can watch numerous excellent UH teams for sports such as Baseball, Swimming, Diving, Golf, and Cross Country, some of the university’s most popular athletic programs include men’s football and basketball, as well as women’s basketball and volleyball.

The Aloha Stadium is the venue for all UH football home games. The stadium is the largest and most versatile multi-purpose facility in the state and can hold about 50,000 spectators.The Aloha Stadium also features the NFL Pro Bowl, baseball games, soccer matches, as well as events such as concerts, car shows, fairs, and a swap meet. The other major UH sports venue is the Stan Sheriff Center, which is the primary site for UH basketball and volleyball games.

The arena also hosts gymnastics competitions and holds over 10,000 people.
