Cotton Bowl (Dallas)


The Cotton Bowl is a stadium which opened in 1932. Originally known as Fair Park Bowl, it is located in Fair Park, site of the State Fair in Dallas, Texas. It has a natural grass surface and a capacity of 68,252 seats. Concerts or other events using a stage allow the playing field to be used for additional spectators to a capacity past 80,000. The Cotton Bowl is the home of the annual Cotton Bowl Classic college football bowl game, for which the stadium is named. However, the game will move to Arlington, Texas, and the Dallas Cowboys New Stadium on New Year's Day 2010.

The Cowboys hosted the Green Bay Packers for the 1966 NFL championship at the Cotton Bowl. Artificial turf was installed in 1970 and removed in 1993 in preparation for the Football World Cup tournament in 1994.

The Cotton Bowl is now the site of the annual "Red River Shootout", the game that pits the University of Texas Longhorns against cross river rivals the Oklahoma University Sooners. The stadium also hosts The Cotton Bowl Classic in January.
