The SimpliFi Arena at the Stan Sheriff Center is a 10,300-seat multi-purpose arena in Honolulu CDP,[3] City and County of Honolulu, Hawaii, on the campus of the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UH). Initially named the Special Events Arena when it opened in 1994, the arena was renamed the Stan Sheriff Center in 1998 in honor of Stan Sheriff (1932–1993), a former UH athletic director who lobbied for its construction. Bank of Hawaii secured naming rights on a 10-year, $5-million contract announced on November 12, 2020, which added a prefix to the facility's official name—"SimpliFi" being the brand name of the bank's digital banking experience.[4]
