I seriously doubt Texas and OU will continue playing at the Cotton Bowl. I wonder how many millions of dollars both schools give up by not playing at their home stadiums both of which are bigger than the Cotton Bowl and also have box seats. I've been to the Texas State Fair just once about ten years ago when my uncle was involved with WFAA's HDTV exhibit. The fair grounds are really in poor shape, and the whole idea of state fairs is rather obsolete anyway. The biggest contributors to the state fair seemed to be auto manufactures who took up most of the indoor exhibit space with new car displays.
As a Soonerfan, we have been hearing our game is also moving to the new stadium from The Cotton Bowl. We have an agreement with The Cotton Bowl through I think it is 2010 to play the OU/TX game at The Cotton Bowl but since the same group overseas we should be moving as well.
It is tradition with OU/TX -- half and half!
I have always wondered why they just don't have it at either OU or Texas. It doesn't make much sense to have it at the Cotton Bowl. OU and Texas have good fan bases and I am pretty sure the fans would be willing to make the trip to Austin or Norman to see the game.
You didn't go to the pig races?
