Home court

The Rainbow Warriors have played their home games at the Stan Sheriff Center since 1995, and have had 11 sellouts of their games, the most recent being March 6, 2020 against BYU.[4][5]

Since joining the MPSF, and later, the Big West, Hawaii has consistently been one of the leaders in the country in home attendance. Under Charlie Wade, the Rainbow Warriors are nearly unbeatable at the Stan Sheriff Center, averaging over 12 home wins a season. They also have posted three undefeated home seasons in the last five years, most recently in 2022.
