The Emerald Bowl is a post-season college football bowl game certified by the NCAA that has been played annually at 40,800-seat AT&T Park (home of the San Francisco Giants) in San Francisco, California, since 2002. It was previously known as the San Francisco Bowl and its official name was the Diamond Walnut San Francisco Bowl in recognition of the corporate title sponsor, Diamond of California, from 2002 to 2003. (The company is now known as Diamond Foods, Inc., with Emerald of California its primary snack nut brand, and as such remains the title sponsor.)

With the move of the Insight Bowl from Chase Field to Sun Devil Stadium, the Emerald Bowl was the only NCAA Division I bowl game held at a stadium used exclusively by a professional baseball team for two years. (Dolphin Stadium and Rogers Centre, two other bowl sites, have both baseball and football tenants.) However, with the 2008 start of the St. Petersburg Bowl at Tropicana Field in the host's namesake city in Florida, where the Tampa Bay Rays play - this will bring the total of baseball stadia hosting football postseason games to two. Since AT&T Park is not normally used for football, the makeshift arrangements of the playing field require both team to be on the same sideline, separated by a barrier at the 50-yard line.
