Cotton Bowl | ORGANIZATION

 

The Cotton Bowl Classic is a United States college football bowl game played annually since 1937 at the self-named stadium in Dallas, Texas. On February 27, 2007, it was announced that the game will move to the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, in 2010. With the planned move, Cotton Bowl officials also began a campaign to become part of the Bowl Championship Series when the current contract featuring the Rose, Sugar, Fiesta, and Orange bowls expires in 2010.
