Qualcomm Stadium Flooding

The Poinsettia Bowl between Navy and San Diego State was expected to take place on December 23 at 8 p.m. There were floods all over the region yesterday, due to heavy rain that caused the San Diego River to flood. According to reports, the Qualcomm Stadium field was submerged in 10 inches of muddy water on Wednesday, leaving the game in doubt. Pictures via SB Nation and Sign on San Diego.

has come at the worst time. The is among the many examples of southern California's rain problems today. The Poinsettia Bowl stands to help tonight, although they have to clear the stadium first, which hasn't been an easy task.

The home stadium of the San Diego Chargers has not been immune to the recent storms. In fact, KGTV-San Diego has captured aerial footage of the field, and much of the parking lot, being underwater.

There's nothing like a field under 10 inches of muddy water to derail your college bowl plans. Qualcomm Stadium, where the Poinsettia Bowl is set to take place between San Diego State and Navy, has been the victim of days of heavy rain, which may delay tonight's game, scheduled to start at 8 p.m. EST.

Yup, ballrooms. Should the Navy + water jokes commence now?
Football games in crappy weather are definitely the most entertaining to watch!

If not for the Poinsettia Bowl, the flooding might not have been so urgent. The Chargers don't play another regular season game, and their hopes for hosting a playoff game in two weeks are still iffy. For Navy and San Diego State, they had to move their recent practices to hotel ballrooms thanks to the weather.
