[edit] Rust problem?
Unfortunate that the article doesn't mention the stadium's rust issue. If anyone who has this page in their watchlist knows why this is overlooked, I'd be interested to know the answer. If there's no reason not to add information (from legitimate sources) on this issue, I can do so. --Boradis 02:02, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- By no means have I been the primary contributor to this article, but the reason why I haven't added any information on the stadium's rust issue is because I just don't know enough about it to give it a mention. I actually work at Aloha Stadium and, yes, I see the rust everytime I show up; the problem is pretty bad. I also read about it in the newspaper every so often but each time it's mentioned, they just say that the stadium "has a rust problem," but nothing more. If you're willing to add the rust issue to the article, please, by all means do so. 青い(Aoi) 19:25, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 3.5 Million Tons?
Any source for the weight of 3.5 million tons?
According to the Guinness World Records, the heaviest building ever moved was 15,140.4 metric tons.
Possible that the stadium is heavier, but 3.5 million tons seems a LOT.
- You are right. "3.5 million tons" is a typo--according to the University of Hawaii, each movable section weights 3.5 million POUNDS, not tons (3.5 million pounds is equivalent to about only 1,750 tons). Thank you for catching that glaring error; I've fixed the article accordingly. 青い(Aoi) 00:43, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
