San Diego County Credit Union's 7th annual pre-Christmas holiday game, the Poinsettia Bowl, will be played December 21, 2011 at Qualcomm Stadium in Mission Valley by teams from the Mountain West Conference (MWC) and Western Athletic Conference (WAC). This nationally recognized California event features all the pomp and circumstance of a major college post-season football game and will air nationally on ESPN.

Last year's 2010 Poinsettia Bowl featured a 35-14 San Diego State Aztecs victory over the Navy Midshipmen in front of a record 48,049 fans and earned a 2.6 national television rating on ESPN. The MWC boasts a 5-1 win record during the games' six years in existence. Future Poinsettia Bowl opponents for the MWC include Brigham Young University in 2012 and Army in 2013. Negotiations are also in the works to bring the Navy Midshipmen back to San Diego for the 2014 game.

Visit San Diego this year for the football game and enjoy the many holiday festivities throughout the city.  Tour the neighborhood light displays or drive through Del Mar’s Holiday of Lights. Take in the theater and dine at San Diego’s finest restaurants. San Diego's mild California climate allows for many types of activities including Balboa Park’s December Nights. We are not saying don’t bring an umbrella; because there is an occasional rain shower, however, we never let it dampen our spirits!
