Hawaii Bowl

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sheraton Hawaiʻi Bowl is a post-season National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I-A college football bowl game that has been played annually at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi on the island of Oʻahu since 2002. Played on either Christmas Day or Christmas Eve, the game matches teams from either Conference USA or Pac-10 vs. the Western Athletic Conference member schools. In its first year, the Hawaiʻi Bowl was sponsored by ConAgra Foods. The following year, Sheraton Hotels and Resorts Hawaiʻi assumed sponsorship which it continues to hold today.

The game succeeded the Aloha Bowl (played 1982-2000) and the Oahu Classic (played 1998-2000).

As part of the agreement with the WAC, a "Hawaiʻi guarantee" allows the University of Hawaiʻi a bid in the Hawaiʻi Bowl regardless of its standings in the WAC, provided it is bowl eligible. This was not invoked as the Warriors had a losing record in 2005, and Nevada took Hawaiʻi's place. Starting in 2006, the Pacific Ten replaces Conference USA as the WAC's opposition.
