Message: [QUOTE="SU94, post: 2938710, member: 202"] There is a lot of civic pride surrounding the Holiday Bowl in San Diego. The bowl started in 1978 so it is long standing. Average crowds these days hover in the high 40s, but 10-15 years ago, those numbers were in the high 50s and into the 60s (they used to host two bowls per year). What will be interesting is seeing how/if the Chargers departure helps the equation in the long run. What was formerly known as Qualcomm Stadium is a big-time pit, but it's good for a tailgate and being in/around San Diego for the week makes up for the Stadium. I am sure the ACC's partnership with this bowl will last 4-6 years and shuffle off to another bowl locale, but this is a solid development for the conference. [/QUOTE]
