Foster Farms Bowl At Levi's: Stanford vs. Maryland

Stanford will take on the Maryland Terrapins in the Foster Farms Bowl at 7 p.m. (PT) Dec. 30 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. The game will be carried on ESPN.

The only method for obtaining bowl tickets in the Stanford section is through the Stanford Athletics Ticket Office. Fans buying through Stanford will receive the best available price and will be seated together. The ticket office can be reached from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. all week at 1-800-STANFORD.

Current season ticket holders should reserve tickets through Tuesday at 4 p.m.

Bowl tickets for non-season ticket holders will go on sale starting Dec. 10 at 9:00 a.m.

Student tickets go on sale Tuesday night at 9 p.m. with Stanford offering a 50 percent subsidy on the purchase price. Students are able to coordinate seat locations (as available) with non-Stanford student ticket-purchasing guests.

Stanford will not sell parking passes to the game. Cash parking will be available on game day, but parking passes are also available for advance purchase.

Levi’s Stadium is an NFL venue and will utilize its standard clear bag policy. Fans should familiarize themselves with the policy.

Stanford (7-5 overall, 5-4 Pac-12) will make its sixth consecutive bowl appearance and first in the Foster Farms Bowl.

“We’re thrilled to match these two high-quality teams in the Foster Farms Bowl,” Executive Director and co-founder Gary Cavalli said. “Stanford is one of the premier programs in the country and has never played in our bowl before. They are located right down the road from Levi’s® Stadium and have a huge fan base here in the Bay Area. We’ve been looking for an opportunity to select Stanford since the Bowl was founded 13 years ago.

“We’re really excited to play in the Bay Area,” said David Shaw, the Bradford M.Freeman Director of Football. “It is one more game for our seniors in front of our fans. We are very excited to play a game against the Big Ten in the new Levi’s® Stadium. It’s going to be a great experience for our players, their families and all Stanford fans.”

Maryland, hailing from the Big Ten Conference, finished third in the East Division with a 7-5 overall record and a 4-4 mark in conference play.

The teams have never met on the gridiron.

The Bowl and the San Francisco 49ers reached agreement in November 2012 to move the game to Santa Clara. The Bowl was the first non-49ers event to commit to the state-of-the-art, $1.3 billion stadium, located in suburban Santa Clara, Calif.

This game is the first under terms of an agreement forged in June 2013 between the Big Ten and Pac-12 Conferences. The Big Ten agreed to send at least five different Big Ten schools to the Foster Farms Bowl through 2019.
