SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The San Diego City Council Tuesday unanimously approved an amendment in a joint agreement with the San Diego Padres to allow football to be played in Petco Park, clearing the way for the downtown ballpark to host the Holiday Bowl in December.
A previous joint use and management agreement between the city and team explicitly prohibited football at Petco Park. But when the city sold SDCCU Stadium the longtime home of the Holiday Bowl to San Diego State University last year, and SDSU subsequently demolished it to make way for a west campus and Aztec Stadium, it left the 43-year-old bowl game without a home.

SAN DIEGO
While San Diego continues to resist calls for huge cuts in police funding, some city leaders have begun lobbying for a comprehensive analysis to determine which Police Department functions could be revamped or handled by other agencies.
City Council members endorsing such an approach say it’s likely to result in much slower and more incremental change than sought by groups that began chanting slogans like “defund the police” following
the death of George Floyd last year.
Those council members contend that thoughtful analysis and targeted changes make more sense for San Diego than potentially kneejerk reforms.
“It can’t be sound bites, it can’t be ‘slash this and increase that,’” Councilman Joe LaCava said during a Friday public hearing on police spending. “It has to be a more thoughtful approach.”
