Poinsettia Bowl to Go on as Planned Despite Qualcomm Stadium Flood

Despite heavy rain in the San Diego area that left the field at Qualcomm Stadium under several inches of water, Thursday's Poinsettia Bowl between Navy and San Diego State will go on as planned.

"We have every intention of kicking off at 5:06 p.m.," executive director Bruce Binkowski said Wednesday. "The stadium grounds crew work will work round the clock to make sure they get in the game."

On Wednesday afternoon, the field was under as much as 10 inches of muddy water. A large portion of the parking lot, which neighbors the San Diego River, flooded as well. The teams had to practice in hotel ballrooms on Tuesday.
