The Meineke Car Care Bowl is an NCAA-sanctioned Division I-A post-season college football bowl game that has been played annually at 73,367-seat Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina (the NFL home of the Carolina Panthers), since 2002. It is owned by Raycom Sports[1]. Certified by the NCAA as simply the Queen City Bowl, from 2002 to 2004, the game was known as the Continental Tire Bowl after Continental Tire became the title sponsor for the contest.
The game's current corporate title sponsor is Meineke Car Care Center. It features a matchup between teams which have ranked at or approximate to #6 in the ACC and #3 in the Big East. In 2006, the bowl game reached a one-year agreement with the US Naval Academy. Navy qualified for a bowl game, and accepted an invitation from the bowl on November 6, 2006. The bowl will select a Big East team from 2007-2009.
