Uncharted territory for Oklahoma fans: A Red River Shootout at AT&T Stadium for a Big 12 Championship

The Oklahoma Sooners and Texas Longhorns have actually met in Norman, Austin, Houston and Oklahoma City since the advent of each football program, but for nearly 90 years, the Red River Shootout (or Rivalry or Showdown) has been played at one venue and one venue only. That, of course, is the Cotton Bowl inside the State Fair of Texas, which has long been hallowed ground for the two fan bases. Few things hold greater significance in OU lore than the annual game in Dallas, and the same can be said for the revelry surrounding it.
