The 2022 Hula Bowl won’t be in Hawai’i this season due to Aloha Stadium’s condemnation and COVID restrictions statewide, but a change in venue won’t affect the action on the gridiron, as the second edition of the renewed Hula Bowl will take place in Orlando, Florida.
The bowl game, rebooted in 2021 after first being established in 1946, will see six former MAC stars participating between both teams. The coaching staff for both sides are stacked with former NFL and NCAA talents, with former Atlanta Falcons head coach Mike Smith leading Team Aina, while former Super Bowl champion head coach Brian Billick leads Team Kai.
