: Football: State likely bids adieu to Home
: Depot Center
:
: Fog It was pretty clear Saturday during a
: news conference by CIF Executive Director
: Marie Ishida that the Home Depot Center in
: Carson isn't likely to host this fall's
: third year of the state bowl championships
: in football.
:
: Set for the weekend of Dec. 20, Ishida said
: seven venues have made bids to host the five
: bowl games, including Home Depot, which was
: the venue the last two years. But Ishida
: said "the cost is prohibitive" in
: Home Depot's proposal.
:
: Others who have submitted bids include the
: Coliseum, Bakersfield's Memorial Stadium,
: Stanford, UC Davis, San Jose State and Cal
: Poly San Luis Obispo's visitor's bureau.
:
: I make Bakersfield the favorite because it's
: close enough to Los Angeles that it would
: hold down transportation costs. But
: everybody had better have a (Tule) fog horn
: ready for driving to Bakersfield the week
: before Christmas.
