Seriously!? You need to get out more often...Was that area almond fields back in the day or something?
No cultural reason why it was given this name. The freshman game is called the peanut bowl. Been to one Almond Bowl and it is a pretty cool scene.

Not fields; but, orchards and last I heard there are still around 35,000 acres of almonds in and around Chico/Butte Co.
