There are new architectural renderings of the University of Hawaiʻi football team’s new home field on the
UH Mānoa campus where the Rainbow Warriors will play their next three seasons. The renderings of a retrofitted Clarence
T.C. Ching Athletics Complex show additional grandstands that will expand capacity from 3,500 to about 9,000 seats, along with the press boxes, hospitality suites and aerial views.
The first game scheduled at Ching Field is September 4 versus Portland State University, the first of six home games scheduled in 2021. The Rainbow Warriors have seven home games scheduled in each of the 2022 and 2023 seasons.
