On January 2, the Western Michigan Broncos will sprint out of the tunnel at AT&T Stadium, one of the most renowned venues in the country. The breathtaking site is identifiable by its retractable roof, neat artificial turf, layered audience sections towering above each sideline, and the colossal high-definition video scoreboard.
The 81st Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic will occur in this famous stadium, a project that was constructed in Arlington, TX for Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. Each Cotton Bowl since 2010 claims AT&T Stadium as its home. But in the 70 years before, the heralded game kicked off in the Cotton Bowl, a venue in Dallas that matches the game’s namesake.
