Sadly, over the period of the last 60 years, the city of San Diego has experienced relatively few San Diego team appearances in national championship games. Dating back to 1963, the San Diego pro-football team (the San Diego Chargers) under the direction of Coach Sid Gillman played in the American Football League championship game at Balboa Stadium in San Diego.
On Dec. 20, 1952 military teams from Bolling Air Force Base in Washington, D.C., and San Diego's Naval Training Center faced off in the first annual Poinsettia Bowl football game at Balboa Stadium.
