College football bowl game
The O'ahu Bowl (often written as Oahu Bowl ) was a National Collegiate Athletic Association Football Bowl Subdivision (then known as Division I-A) bowl game played in Honolulu, Hawaii at Aloha Stadium . Played on Christmas Day or Christmas Eve , the O'ahu Bowl was sponsored by the Jeep Division of Chrysler Corporation . The inaugural game was played in 1998 and the last game was played in 2000, after it lost its sponsorship as a result of a corporate merger between Jeep parent Chrysler Corporation and Daimler Benz . The O'ahu Bowl was part of a double-header played after the Aloha Bowl on Christmas its first two years; the 2000 game was played on Christmas Eve.
In 2001, the O'ahu Bowl became the Seattle Bowl and played two games before losing NCAA certification. The Aloha Bowl, scheduled to move to San Francisco at the same time, lost certification before it could play a game.[ 1] [ 2]
