About the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl
The Poinsettia Bowl is a post-season NCAA-sanctioned Division I-A college football bowl game that was created in 2005 to replace the Silicon Valley Football Classic. The game was created by the organizers of the Holiday Bowl and will also be played annually at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, California. The game is currently sponsored by the San Diego County Credit Union and is known as the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl.
The first game will be played on December 22, 2005.
