Fans and residents near the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa should prepare for busy streets on Saturday, May 2. The university is hosting a popular baseball game and a men’s volleyball match, both of which are sold out. If you’re planning to attend, here’s what you need to know.
Events on May 2:
- Men’s Volleyball: The NCAA regional final starts at 4 p.m. at the Bankoh Arena.
- Baseball Game: Catch the match against UC Riverside at 6:35 p.m. at Les Murakami Stadium.
Parking Information:
Parking will be a bit different because of these events. Here are the key details:
- Men’s Volleyball: Everyone must pay a $10 parking fee, even pass holders. You’ll find kiosks on-site to pay this fee.
- Baseball: Parking remains free for Zone 20 and reserved pass holders. However, if Zone 20 fills up, you may need to park on upper campus.
Traffic Tips:
- Try entering through the Waiʻalae Avenue gate to help ease congestion.
- Carpooling or using rideshare services is a great option to minimize cars.
- Allow extra time for arriving and leaving the campus, especially since both events will end later in the evening.
