KHNL report on UH facilities

About how they need facility improvements to get to the next level, Austin Hansen said:
"To us, we've all worked with what we have, so we've made it happen already. Without having great facilities, but it's important as we move forward, to take it to the next level." (KHNL)

Abour how they want to improve more than just the Athletic facilities, Senator Roz Baker said:
"We also want to have good learning environments for the athletes and other students at the university. And some of the facilities are dire in my view." (KHNL)

KHNL Note: :Torn carpets and missing ceiling tiles are just some of the problems."

About some of the problems at UH, Senator Norman Sakamoto said:
"You look at the electrical outlets, and it's all rusted and corroded, and you wonder, this is a higher education institution. We just need to do better." (KHNL)

Hoping that lawmakers keep their momentum going, GM said:
"Anything they can do for players, now's the time to do it because we're riding pretty high right now and we can keep going." (KHNL)

Hoping that they can work with UH to make some progress, Sen. Baker said:
"So we're going to assess how we can best assist the university, not only cut through their repair and maintenance backlog but help them with their other facilities challenges as well." (KHNL)

About how many others have been waiting in line for repairs, Sen. Sakamoto said:
"Standing in line, saying wait your turn. Some people have been in line too long." (KHNL)

KHNL Note: "Lawmakers say one thing they hope to do soon, is to build a brand new building on campus to house various programs and people while improvements are made."
