There will be luxury boxes for AIG and GM Execs, and a tax-free smoking zone called the Presidential Box. All taxpayers will be entered to win a ticket in the endzone to the game of their choice. Please note, there are no scheduled games, but if you fund it, they will come. The AlohaGuy Stadium project is ready and only needs $2.5 billion to get it off the ground.
