And there is nothing bigger or better on the second Saturday at the Texas State Fair every year than the football game that takes place at the historic Cotton Bowl on the fairgrounds in Dallas.
The Cotton Bowl holds approximately 92,000. On Saturday half of the stadium will be decked out in the burnt orange team colors of the Texas Longhorns, and the other half will be wearing crimson and cream in support of the Oklahoma Sooners. There is really nothing like it anywhere else in college football.
That has been the case for the past 84 years, which is the length of time that this historic rivalry has taken place at the Cotton Bowl in a venue proximally equidistant from the two campuses.
