True dat. The poor ol' Cotton Bowl stadium has been home to so many games for the ages. Still home to The Red River Shootout... and maybe some Texas high school games?

Outdated, and no one doing anything to modernize it. Also located in a part of town that people don't necessarily want to travel to.

So yeah, the Cotton Bowl, where the average high temp is what, in the 40's, got left out and the Fiesta Bowl, located in sunny and warm Arizona, moved in.

You'd think that some local bazillionaire would step in and renovate and preserve the place for posterity on the condition that it have his name put on it on something. /s

The Cotton Bowl may become “Olympic Stadium” if Dallas gets the Olympics in 2024.

“Big Tex” burning was a warm-up for Mack Brown

Now that the Cotton Bowl has moved to “Jerry’s World,” there is likely to be a greater chance of being involved in games of greater significance going forward.
