Sheraton Hawaii Bowl

The Sheraton Hawaii Bowl 2009 will be played on Christmas Eve, December 24th, at the Aloha Stadium in Honolulu. That is consistent with it always being played either on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. Started in 2002 the match-up features a team from the Conference-USA or Pac-10 and a team from the WAC (Western Athletic Conference). This year's line-up will be the SMU Mustangs vs. Nevada Wolfpack.

SMU (7-5) will be making its 11th bowl appearance and first since 1984 when it played in the Aloha Bowl in Honolulu. The Mustangs tied for first place with Houston in the Conference-USA West Division with identical 6-2 league records. SMU, which finished 1-11 last season, is coached by former Hawaii coach June Jones, who is in his 2nd year at the Hilltop.

Assuming the University of Hawaii is eligible for bowl game play, the school is guaranteed a spot. Before the event became the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl game, the Aloha Bowl and the Oahu Bowl games were played in its place (1982-2000). The previous main sponsor was ConAgra. They were known for giving away thousands of free hot dogs on game day.

The Aloha Stadium can hold 50,000 spectators and was opened back in 1975. Buy Bowl Tickets now and be one of the enthusiastic fans at Aloha Stadium.
