SAN DIEGO (AP) – The group that puts on the Holiday and Poinsettia Bowls is in preliminary talks with Navy to move its home game against Notre Dame to San Diego’s Qualcomm Stadium in either 2016 or 2018.
Organizers feel it would be a great fit, considering the huge Navy presence in San Diego.
Mark Neville, the executive director of the San Diego Bowl Game Association, says Navy had a positive response to the idea.
While stressing there is still a lot of work to do, Neville says: ”Navy has a great fan base in San Diego. That’s kind of a natural.”
Navy has played in the Poinsettia Bowl four times, including the first one in 2005, when it beat Colorado State 51-30, and last year, when it beat San Diego State 17-16.
