The Cotton Bowl is a historic football stadium in Fair Park. An event makes it an inside visit; otherwise, see the exterior while exploring the park.

Why go

Opened in 1932, the stadium became closely tied to Dallas football culture, including the Cotton Bowl Classic's long run here and the Red River Rivalry. Even without a game, its setting in Fair Park helps place the stadium within the city's fair and sports traditions. Entry depends on a ticketed event.

What to look for

  • The stadium exterior stands within Fair Park.
  • Its football history includes the Cotton Bowl Classic and Red River Rivalry.
  • An event brings the scale of the bowl and crowd into view.

Useful to know

  • Check the stadium event listing and ticket rules if you want to go inside.
  • For an exterior look, fold the stadium into a wider Fair Park visit.
