2006 Holiday Bowl

Congratulations to all the participants in the 2006 Holiday Bowl, and especially to the Golden Bears of California for their 45-10 victory over the Texas A & M Aggies!

The California Golden Bears and the Texas A&M Aggies may not be contending for the national title in 2006, but they have certainly been influential in determining the teams that are. Get Holiday Bowl tickets and be in the stands to see for yourself what these amazing football teams bring to the game. Cal represents the Pac-10, while the Aggies hail from the Big 12. Your Holiday Bowl tickets represent an evening of college football at its finest!

The Pacific Life Holiday Bowl will be held at Qualcomm Stadium, home to the NFL's San Diego Chargers, and site of Super Bowls, MLB All-Star Games, two World Series, countless concerts and motorsports events, and since 2005, an additional post-season football tournament, the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl.

The Holiday Bowl was inaugurated in 1978, with a game in which Navy beat its Western Athletic Conference host BYU, 23-16. Since 1997, the two opponents have been chosen from the Pac-10 and the Big 12. Always a financial success, the $200,000 payouts to each school from the original game have grown past the $2 million mark in recent years.

Some of the festivities leading up to the big game have included events like Team Day at Sea World, Team Day at the San Diego Zoo, a nationally televised 5K run, and 'America's Largest Balloon Parade.' But you will want tickets to the game itself to witness the U.S. Navy Parachute Team and the stirring Holiday Bowl tradition in which a 45,000-square foot American Flag is unfurled to cover the entire football field. Halftime offers marching bands and an amazing fireworks display.

Any excuse can be a good excuse to go to scenic San Diego, California, famous for its pleasant weather all year round, and that includes December. Coast To Coast Tickets invites you to expand your visit, and we're happy to help you find tickets to a Chargers game or to the San Diego Civic Theatre, The Old Globe, the House of Blues, and more!
