The San Diego Padres and Sports San Diego jointly announced the move of the bowl game, which was played from 1978 to 2019 at the site where Snapdragon now sits.
Following two seasons at Petco Park, the Holiday Bowl college football game will move to Snapdragon Stadium this December, it was announced Tuesday.
"It was our honor to host the Holiday Bowl at Petco Park," Padres CEO Erik Greupner said in a statement."Keeping the game in San Diego at a time when there weren't any other viable options was vitally important to the Holiday Bowl, our community and local economy."The Holiday Bowl is a great event and wonderful San Diego tradition," he said.
In 2022, Bo Nix threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Chase Cota with 19 seconds left and Camden Lewis' extra point kick deflected off the left crossbar and went through the goal posts to complete Oregon's comeback from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit in a 28-27 victory over North Carolina in the 43rd Holiday Bowl.Nix completed five of six passes for 56 yards on the Ducks' 79-yard, eight-play game-winning drive that also included a pass interference penalty.
