Flint Michigan Bowl Set To Debut In December
Flint, MI (Lightning Strikes Wire)- The home of semi-pro football's Genesee County Patriots will host one of College Footballs newest bowl.
The game, one of 35 licensed by the NCAA for next season, will be played at Atwood Stadium on Dec. 25 and feature teams from the Pac-10 and Mid-American conferences. It will be owned and operated by Fox.
"The Flint Michigan Bowl is another great bowl opportunity for the Pac-10,'' league commissioner Tom Hansen said. "The game will be a wonderful showcase for Pac-10 football."
Michigan's second bowl game is one of two additions to the postseason lineup, joining the , St. Petersburgh Bowl, and the Congressional Bowl in Washington, D.C. The NCAA did not approve a request for a forth new game, the Rocky Mountain Bowl in Salt Lake City.
Atwood Stadium has hosted several high school sporting events.
"Flint is a wonderful community and a great destination for Pac-10 fans,'' Hansen said. "The Mid-American Conference will surely provide a great opponent.''
