The goal – have a venue that people can visit 365 days a year. That’s what developers of the New Aloha Stadium said Thursday, as they gave the public a glimpse of what’s being planned.
These are the first preliminary conceptual designs for the New Aloha Stadium released by the developer. Of course there’s a stadium there, but it wants the area to be so much more.

“It’s a 98-acre piece of property that was formally just used as a stadium,” said Stanford Carr, Aloha Halawa District Partners. “What we’re transforming that 98 acres is into a 21st century urban community with a lot of amenities, open space, park both passive and active.” [KHON]
The Everett City Council has chosen a downtown site near the Angel of the Winds Arena for a new $100 million multipurpose stadium.
The facility will house the Everett AquaSox and host community events and, potentially, professional soccer.
The decision, made during the December 18 council meeting, followed recommendations from the Stadium Fiscal Advisory Committee.
The committee highlighted the downtown site’s greater economic impact and revenue opportunities compared to alternatives.
Everett Mayor Cassie Franklin expressed enthusiasm for the project, stating, “MLB changed the game with their new requirements, but we’re committed to making an infrastructure investment that will boost our economy and provide a new quality of life amenity.”
In addition to retaining the AquaSox, the stadium could host United Soccer League (USL) men’s and women’s teams. [KIRO]
