Aloha Stadium

Snap the Moment: Experience Aloha Stadium

After six months of collaboration and creativity, the Walls of Legacy: Aloha Stadium Sculpture Challenge has reached an exciting milestone. The completed art piece has officially been delivered to its new home at the Swap Meet & Marketplace, where it now stands as a bold new photo-worthy landmark.

Crafted from reclaimed metal frames from the original Aloha Stadium seats, the sculpture has been transformed into a striking metal pineapple standing over six feet tall and weighing more than 800 pounds. Each element preserves a physical piece of the stadium’s history—reimagined through art as Aloha Stadium enters its next chapter.

Visitors are invited to stop by, snap a photo, and share their experience on social media using #ExperienceAlohaStadium as we celebrate this one-of-a-kind tribute together.

And this is just the beginning. Guests can look forward to even more interactive photo-op experiences throughout the marketplace—from mauka to makai art renderings to “catching a wave” moments at our new wave booth.

It’s all part of creating memorable experiences that honor the past, celebrate Hawaiʻi’s culture, and bring the community together in new and exciting ways.

Meet the Artist: Bobby Trice

Bobby Trice grew up in Mililani on the island of Oʻahu and is a proud graduate of Mililani High School, where he still resides today. A U.S. Army veteran who served as a mechanic during Operation Iraqi Freedom, Bobby brings both discipline and creativity to his artistic journey.

From a young age, Bobby had a vivid imagination and a passion for art. He is a self-taught scrap metal sculpture artist who doesn’t limit himself to just one medium. For over a decade, his one-of-a-kind creations have been featured at the Hale‘iwa Arts Festival and displayed at Kualoa Ranch. Bobby crafts his pieces at home, often taking his larger sculptures on the road — displayed from the back of his pickup truck — with his family proudly helping to promote his art throughout the island.
