The Cotton Bowl
The historic bowl at the Texas State Fair
The Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas, seats about 92,100 and sits at the heart of Fair Park, home of the State Fair of Texas. Opened in 1930, it hosts the annual Red River Rivalry between Texas and Oklahoma — split down the middle in burnt orange and crimson — and long staged the Cotton Bowl Classic that gave the stadium its name.
