Hawai‘i Football Adds Three Premium Hospitality Experiences
New VIP Sideline Tables, the Makai Beach Club, and Rooftop Pa‘ina add field-level seating, private group hospitality, and all-inclusive F&B.
The University of Hawai‘i is expanding premium hospitality for the 2026 football season with three new experiences at the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex, ranging from four-person field-level tables to private pregame hospitality spaces accommodating groups of 100 or more.
The new lineup includes VIP Sideline Tables, the Makai Beach Club, and Rooftop Pa‘ina, with Sodexo providing food and beverage service for the two group hospitality products. Hawai‘i is also continuing its Diamond Head Club and ‘Ewa Club offerings, with the latter already sold out for the season.
“Our fans are the pulse of Hawai‘i Football, and we want their game day experience to reflect that. We’re continuing to invest in the fan experience by creating more comfortable, engaging and elevated offerings in Mānoa. It’s about creating an environment where people want to come early, stay longer, and make lasting memories together.” – Matt Elliott, Athletics Director, University of Hawai‘i
The VIP Sideline Tables introduce an intimate field-level product along the Mauka sideline between the end zone and 10-yard line. Only 10 tables are available, with each accommodating four guests in premium high-top chairs immediately adjacent to the field.
Each table includes four game tickets, four lounge passes, and two parking passes, along with access to an inclusive buffet in the Ed Wong Lounge beginning 90 minutes before kickoff and continuing through the start of the third quarter. Food and beverage will also be delivered directly to each table twice during the game, during the first and third quarters. Companies purchasing tables receive personalized name plaques, while guests receive four hats delivered to the table at each game.
VIP Sideline Tables are priced at $7,200 for the six-game season, equivalent to $1,200 per game or $300 per ticket.
The new Makai Beach Club is designed around larger private gatherings, corporate entertaining, and celebrations. Packages accommodate 50, 75, or 100 guests, beginning at $8,000 for 50 people, $11,250 for 75, and $14,500 for 100. Each guest receives a game ticket in Corner Sideline Section 140 and access to the private hospitality area for two hours between gates opening and kickoff.
The Beach Club includes a private bar and buffet serviced by Sodexo, along with a tent, dining tables and chairs, high tops, linens, beach furniture, and two cornhole sets. Setup, breakdown, and cleanup are included in the package.
Hawai‘i is also relocating its existing Pa‘ina on the Path experience to the fifth floor of the Zone 20 parking structure and reintroducing it as Rooftop Pa‘ina. The elevated location provides views of the football field and covered hospitality beneath a canopy.
Rooftop Pa‘ina costs $7,200 for 50 guests, with additional 800-square-foot spaces available in increments of 50 for larger groups. Packages include Section 140 game tickets for each guest and 20 parking passes on the fifth floor adjacent to the hospitality area.
The two-hour private experience concludes 30 minutes before kickoff and includes a private bar, buffet, tables, chairs, high tops, linens, and lounge seating.
“The real value of sports is spending quality time bonding with others over a shared interest and Hawai‘i Football can do that in such a special way for our community. Whether you want to host an event for 200 people at one game or create an intimate setting for 4 guests to feel special at each game, we have curated options to make those special moments happen this year and beyond.” – Alan Aldwell, Senior Director of Ticket Sales, University of Hawai‘i
