Game Information

The EagleBank Bowl’s focus is to recognize and pay respect to the dedication and sacrifices made by all those who serve our country, at both the U.S. military academies and in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Representing the service academies in the 2009 game is the United States Military Academy at West Point (Army).  Army did not qualify for a bowl game this season so UCLA will play in the EagleBank Bowl against Temple.

The EagleBank Bowl brings together three of the largest forces in our economy – the government, the military and private enterprise – in one venue. This unique event is an opportunity to show your appreciation for those who protect our freedom. Washington, D.C., is also a cultural and entertainment hub with many things to do and see.

The EagleBank Bowl was created and co-founded by Marie Rudolph and Sean Metcalf. The DC Bowl Committee, Inc. was then formed to host the EagleBank Bowl as a community and charitable organization in Washington, D.C. Our title sponsor, EagleBank, and our co-promoter, the Washington Convention and Sports Authority, have both been instrumental in the bowl game’s success.

Goals for the EagleBank Bowl include boosting the regional economy, putting the nation’s capital on the map as a college football destination and raising money for charity.
