Having just returned from there, I have to add my two cents worth for Les Murakami Stadium at the U of Hawaii. The Les, which seats about 7,000, gets very little love outside of the Islands. That could be because SE teams generally don't go there, and it's not a hitter's park. It is an absolutely beautiful stadium in a gorgeous location, and with many many uh...well spectacular spectators.

The only negative is an old worn out carpet, which they are replacing this summer. The Les is also home to the Hawaiian Winter Pro League and likely a future venue for the Hawaiian Collegiate League.
Not such a friendly environment for opposing teams though. Funny thing I heard during one game... Coach yelling at his team to clear out and not help the opposing catcher as he closed in on the Bow's dugout chasing a pop-up. After the ball fell untouched, Coach explained loud enough for those in and about the dugout to hear, "The Aloha spirit only goes so far boys...we're here to kick their a**!"
