Advertiser Staff
Mayor Mufi Hannemann announced today the City and County of Honolulu will provide more access to its facilities for O'ahu's high school athletic teams coping with the recent changes to their sports calendar.Speaking at a press conference at Senor Frog's restaurant in Waikiki, Hannemann said Blaisdell Arena and selected District Park gyms will be made available for basketball games and Hans L'Orange Field, Ke'ehi Lagoon Field and other parks will be used for baseball.
Athletic directors have been scrambling for gym and field space since the announcement in April that Hawaii's girls basketball season would be moved from the spring to winter (same with the boys) and the softball season would be moved from winter to spring (same as baseball) in order to address gender equity concerns.
