The County has unveiled a newly renovated and expanded Edith Kanaka'ole Multi-Purpose Stadium, which will officially re-open for the March 31st start of the 50th annual Merrie Monarch Festival celebration. The project, anchored by a new 4,200-square foot building includes six dressing/meeting rooms, an expanded lobby and concession area, covered side entrances, an upgraded electrical system and native landscaping. The stadium upgrade is the anchor of a $4 million revitalization of the entire Ho'olulu Complex, which also includes work on the Afook-Chinen Civic Auditorium, Aunty Sally Kaleohano's Lu'au Hale, and multiple support buildings.
