Poinsettia Bowl Tickets

Poinsettia Bowl 2010 Preview The 2010 San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl takes place December 23 at 8 p.m. at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego.

This is a tremendously popular bowl for the teams invited because of the tremendous weather in San Diego. That's one of the reasons why the city elected to create a second bowl game within a week of the traditional Holiday Bowl.

The Poinsettia Bowl features a matchup of a Pac-10 conference team against a Mountain West opponent. There have also been years where the conference has made agreements with Navy and Army to play in the game so long as they each were bowl eligible.

Many of the games in the history of this bowl have been quite close, and last year's game was no exception, with the Utah Utes hanging on for a victory over the California Bears.
