The Emerald Bowl is a post-season College Football bowl game certified by the NCAA that has been played annually at 40,800-seat SBC Park (home of the San Francisco Giants ) in San Francisco, California , since 2002. It was previously known as the '''San Francisco Bowl''' and its official name was the '''Diamond Walnut San Francisco Bowl''' in recognition of the corporate title sponsor, Diamond of California, from 2002 to 2003 . The game normally matches teams from the Pac-10 and Mountain West conferences. In 2004, the bowl produced what later turned out to be a record-setting drive. In the third quarter, Navy, with a 31-19 lead, successfully forced New Mexico into a three-and-out, culminating a goal-line stand. Taking over on offense, the Midshipmen then executed a drive that encompassed 26 plays, 94 yards, and 14 minutes and 26 seconds of the game clock, stretching well into the fourth quarter. The NCAA later confirmed that the drive was historic, setting records for the number of plays in a drive and time of possession in a drive. {Link without Title} PREVIOUS RESULTS 1 — Navy took the place of a Pac-10 team as their conference did not have enough bowl-eligible teams. 2 — Because the Pac-10 did not have enough teams to qualify, Georgia Tech from the ACC was named the replacement.
