The Poinsettia Bowl, in an effort to boost attendance, selected San Diego State and Navy for the 2010 edition of the bowl. San Diego State brings a hometown feel to the game, playing its home games at Qualcomm Stadium, site of the Poinsettia Bowl. With a heavy Navy presence in San Diego, Poinsettia Bowl organizers are hoping local servicemen will come out to support the Midshipmen this year, as well.
