Hawaii Rainbow Warriors Football Tickets

As one of the few Division I teams to play outside the continental United States, the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors is steeped in the culture and tradition of the Pacific island state in which it plays. The University of Hawaii first established a football program in 1909. From the 1930s onward, the team became a regular fixture at the Pineapple and Hawaii Bowls, both of which were played in Honolulu. Former Atlanta Falcons head coach June Jones took over the reins in Hawaii in 1999. He led the team to its best-ever season in 2007 with a 12-1 record and a spot in the

Sugar Bowl

. Quarterback Colt Brennan set several NCAA passing records, including the most touchdown passes in a single season with 58. In back-to-back years, he was selected as a Heisman Trophy finalist, finishing sixth in 2006 and third in 2007. The Rainbow Warriors remained independent for much of its history. It joined the Western Athletic Conference in 1979 and then switched to the Mountain West Conference in 2012.
