It's been hosted in that gym for a long time. The tournament started in 1984, and I wouldn't be surprised if that Civic Center has been the host every year.
for a 1 week BB tourney. Now the big island has some venues that cost host bigger event. Last time I was down there they had a Hula dancing competition in that arena. (Did not go to that though.....)
I have watched the games over the years but just didn't realize the facility was so small. I was thinking like other poster it had been hosted on the big island...
