SEATTLE (AP) -- The Seattle Bowl has a five-year deal to play the December football game at the new Seahawks Stadium.

About 30,000 fans watched Georgia Tech beat Stanford 24-14 in the inaugural Seattle Bowl on Dec. 27 at Safeco Field, home of the Seattle Mariners.

``The five-year contract with the Seattle Bowl provides commitment that will allow Seattle to plan for an expand its bowl-game celebration,'' Steven Eckerson, the stadium's director of sales and marketing, said Saturday.

The Seattle Bowl is scheduled for Dec. 30.
