The Holiday Bowl is an annual college football postseason bowl game played in San Diego, California. Officially it is know as the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl, since the insurance company took over sponsorship. Former sponsors include Sea World, Culligan, Thrifty Car Rental, and Plymouth. The current game is played between the no. 2 team in the Pac-10 conference and the no. 3 team in the Big 12 conference.
Played since 1978, the Holiday Bowl was the stage for what Brigham Young fans refer to simply as the “Miracle Bowl” in 1980, when BYU overcame a 20-point deficit to Southern Methodist (SMU), winning the game at the last moment. BYU would win a national championship in 1984 in the Holiday Bowl, the only such occurrence in a December Bowl game. The structure of the college football post-season would be changed due to that very game.
Qualcomm Stadium, site of the Holiday Bowl, is also the home of the San Diego Chargers, and holds over 71,000 spectators. The stadium will find its place in history as an evacuation site for the 2007 southern California Wildfires, managing to still host a San Diego Chargers game within days of the evacuations.
