ANNAPOLIS, Md.--Naval Academy Director of Athletics Chet Gladchuk announced today that the Naval Academy has sold its full allotment of bowl tickets for the eighth-consecutive year.

"Once again, Navy has proven why our program is one of the best in postseason ticket sales in the nation," said Naval Academy Director of Athletics Chet Gladchuk. "Thanks to everyone who continues to support Navy football and the Academy."

Navy has sold all 13,000 of its assigned Poinsettia Bowl tickets and with the military presence in San Diego it is expected that more than 20,000 Navy fans will be in the stands at Qualcomm Stadium on Dec. 23 when the Mids take on San Diego State. Included in those totals are approximately 1,100 Midshipmen who will be in attendance to support the team.

The Poinsettia Bowl has already sold more than 49,000 tickets for the game. The previous attendance record for the game was 39,129, which was set in 2007 when Navy played Utah.
