FRISCO, Texas -- As fans await the start of the College Football Playoff on Friday, Arkansas State and Missouri State will provide an appetizer Thursday night when the programs meet in the inaugural Xbox Bowl.
The game will be played in the Ford Center at The Star. The 12,000-seat indoor stadium is part of the Dallas Cowboys' 91-acre sprawling practice facility that is surrounded by an entertainment district.
The Xbox Bowl, which replaced the Bahamas Bowl, will be one of two bowl games played at the Ford Center this year, with UNLV and Ohio set to meet in the Frisco Bowl on Dec.
