SANTA CLARA, Calif. (KRON/AP) – Levi’s Stadium is set to host a post Christmas day college bowl game at the San Francisco 49ers home.
On Monday, Foster Farms Bowl executive director Gary Cavalli announced the Dec. 26 date for the game between the fourth selection from the Pac-12 and an upper-echelon Big Ten team. The kickoff time is scheduled for 6:15 p.m. PST. The game is set to be aired on ESPN.
This marks the second year that the Bay Area’s bowl game will be played at the 49ers Levi’s Stadium. The Saturday night game helps eliminate traffic problems that could arise on a workday.
In 2009, the game was also held on the day after Christmas. That contest between Southern California and Boston College was sold out at AT&T Park and drew high television ratings.
