HONOLULU (KHON2) — Fans won’t be allowed in the stands during University of Hawaii home football games this season, but you can still be there in-person — kind of.
All the latest sports news from Hawaii’s sports station
For $50, you can purchase a cutout of yourself. It will be placed in an open seat at Aloha Stadium and it will be there for all four home games.
It doesn’t have to be a picture of you. You can buy one for a family member, friend or even your pet. Proceeds from the cutouts will support UH student-athletes.
