Talk:Cotton Bowl (stadium)

message: Can't find a source for the 1930 opening date, so I'm reverting it back to 1932.  Here's the source I found for the opening date: .  If someone can find something more official, that would be suuuuper. RADICALBENDER★ 03:56, August 14, 2005 (UTC)
Any source on the schools confirming the move away from the Cotton Bowl? I had heard the idea has been strongly considered but not confirmed. --Wootonius 11:05, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

message: The Article contradicts itself. It first says that the Red River Shoot Out is moving in 2009, then it says they've agreed to stay until 2015. If someone knows the truth, they should fix it....

message: In the 1st paragraph the article says the stadium has 68,252 seats but later on it is said that there are plans to increase the seating from 76,00 to 92,000. Which is the correct figure?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Omnisvalidus (talk • contribs) 14:48, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Seating 

message: The stadium has gone through changes in the past year and the seating has been upgraded (i.e. the upper deck now stretches all the way around the bowl).  Can some the Texas members please upload some of these newer pictures?  RIPLIUKANG (talk) 18:40, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

If it's referring to the Texxas Jam, that was '78 wasn't it?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.159.128.21 (talk) 09:25, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

message: Something more needs to be included about how the stadium's name was changed. J. Curtis Sanford (yet another Dallas oilman) attended the Rose Bowl game between SMU and Stanford on Jan 1st, 1936 and decided Dallas could support a bowl game, too. So he campaigned successfully to get the name of Fair Park Stadium changed to "Cotton Bowl" and then bankrolled the playoff game himself for the first several years until it caught on with the public. (Lamar Hunt, age four, attended the first Cotton Bowl game on Jan 1st, 1937, as a matter of fact.) All of this is well-known fact (if you're retirement age and come from Dallas) but I frankly don't have the time to chase down the sources for it. --Michael K SmithTalk  20:47, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

message: My husband played roller hockey back in the early 70s and actually played in a tournament/championship game at the Cotton Bowl. I'm wondering if there are any archived photos or film from that time. I'd love to be able to find something for him from when he was there. He said it was filmed by a local station but can't remember which one. Any information would be great. I can be reached at sarah@splashdesigns.com 70.176.93.65 (talk) 00:58, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
