"College football's championship game - and its huge economic windfall - is coming back to Glendale in 2011, when the Valley will host three college football games in just 11 days, Fiesta Bowl President John Junker told The Arizona Republic.

However, it wasn’t announced until Wednesday when the Fiesta Bowl would get the championship game.
'It's a great compliment to the Valley, the state of Arizona and (Fiesta Bowl) volunteers,' Junker said.
'What excites us is it really has Arizona as the real home to college football championships.'"
