The University of Hawaii football team is exploring the possibility of staging a football scrimmage and autograph session at Maui's War Memorial Stadium in April, athletic director Jim Donovan said.

The event would be part of the Warriors' spring practice. They still would play the Green-White game at Aloha Stadium.

"We're hopeful it'll all come together," said Donovan, adding the event is still in the proposal stage.

But Donovan said it was important for "Hawai'i's team" to connect with fans throughout the state. Maui has the second-most pay-per-view customers of UH sports.

Donovan said Teri Chang, assistant athletic director for facilities and operations, is in charge of coordinating the event. Chang was raised on Maui. Donovan said Chang coordinated the UH-Montana game on Maui several years ago and "is a natural fit to coordinate this."
