Local college football bowl game returning to old stomping grounds this year — and going forward — following three-year stint downtown at Petco Park
The DirecTV Holiday Bowl is moving back to Mission Valley. After three years downtown at Petco Park, the college football bowl game will be played at Snapdragon Stadium. The Padres and Sports San Diego, which runs the Holiday Bowl, made the announcement on Tuesday morning. “The DirecTV Holiday Bowl had a great run at Petco Park, and we are so appreciative to the San Diego Padres for being tremendous hosts,' Sports San Diego CEO Mark Neville said in a release.
“It was our honor to host the Holiday Bowl at Petco Park,” Padres CEO Erik Greupner said in the release. “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. ... We wish the Holiday Bowl many years of successful and exciting games at their new venue.” The Holiday Bowl is played annually during the last week of December.
