The Texas and Oklahoma football teams not only will be playing to a vacant or near-empty Cotton Bowl this season, but also an empty Texas State Fairgrounds.
That is, if the game is played in Dallas as it has been since 1912. Since 1932, the annual OU-Texas football rivalry has been staged at the Cotton Bowl, which is located at Fair Park, site of the Texas State Fair.
