Cotton Bowl Football Tickets

Cotton Bowl Background Ticket Information

The Cotton Bowl is an American college football bowl game. It is played every year since the year of 1937 at the Cotton Stadium in Dallas, Texas. The major sponsor is AT&T. It was previously known as the Mobil Cotton Bowl Classic. During forty years the champion of the legendary Southwest Conference played as the home team at the stadium. Until the 80s the Cotton Bowl was one of the most prestigious New Years bowls. Lately, many southwestern teams served the National Collegiate Athletic Association probations because of the rules violation. Thus they became ineligible and couldnt participate in the bowl games. During that time the Fiesta Bowl became even more popular than the Cotton bowl. It can be explained by the fact that the Fiesta bowl started to attract many national championship winners. Thus, the Fiesta Bowl has become number four most popular major bowl. The Southwestern teams did not participate any more in the Cotton Bowl, but at the same time it became the place for many other teams – teams from the Big Twelve Conference and the Southeastern conference. The stadium was always packed with fans as they paid for the tickets to watch an unforgettable New Years game. The tradition remained and the game is held annually on the first of January (only in rare examples the date is moved to the second of January).
