UH football to hold scrimmage on Maui

Advertiser Staff

The University of Hawai'i today announced plans for a football scrimmage on Maui and details for next month's "Warrior Bowl," which culminates spring practice.

On April 11, the Warriors will fly to Maui to hold an intrasquad scrimmage at the War Memorial Stadium beginning at 11 a.m., followed by an autograph session on the field.

No state funds will be used to pay for the trip and donations from McDonald's and Oceanic Time Warner Cable, as well as support from Hawaiian Airlines and Panda Travel, and in-kind support from the County of Maui, will cover the expenses.

The "Warrior Bowl" intrasquad scrimmage will be held at Aloha Stadium on April 25, at 3:00 p.m. Prior to the game, coach Greg McMackin and several UH football players will be available for autographs and photos from 1 to 2:30 p.m. on the South Endzone concourse.

Parking is $1 and fans can enter through Gate 4 beginning at 1 p.m. Admission is free.

Fans can sit in the stands on the makai side of the stadium.

The Warriors open spring practice March 30, at the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletic Complex.
