Cotton Bowl Stadium
3750 Midway Plaza, Dallas, TX 75210
Fair Park
A neutral-site rivalry game during the State Fair of Texas.
Why the Cotton Bowl matters
The Red River Rivalry is different because it is not played on either campus. The Cotton Bowl sits in Dallas between Austin and Norman, and the stadium is traditionally split between Texas and Oklahoma fans.
That neutral-site setup, combined with the State Fair atmosphere outside the gates, is a major reason the game has its own identity apart from a normal conference road trip.
Planning notes
- Transit: DART Green Line service to Fair Park Station is usually the cleanest way to avoid parking congestion.
- Parking: Fair Park and private-lot availability can change by year, so verify 2026 details before buying a pass.
- Entry: For a 2:30 p.m. CT kickoff, build in time for Fair crowds, security lines, and the walk to your gate.
- Seating: Check your ticket and official seating map for the exact Texas/Oklahoma side assignment.
