The annual Oklahoma-Texas college football game, called "The AT&T Red River Rivalry", is played at the Cotton Bowl during the State Fair of Texas, instead of a campus site. Ticket sales are equally divided between the two schools. However, the schools had announced plans to discontinue playing the game at the Cotton Bowl after 2007, citing major problems with the aging facility, and to instead move the game to a traditional home-and-away series. The two schools have not expressed interest in moving the game to either Texas Stadium or the Dallas Cowboys' new stadium once it opens, citing the State Fair as the chief reason for holding the game in Dallas.

However, amidst the ideas about moving from the Cotton Bowl, both schools have recently approved a deal with the Cotton Bowl to continue playing "The Red River Rivalry" at the Cotton Bowl until 2010. As a result of this extension, the city of Dallas will allocate $30 million towards an estimated $50 million (at least part of the final total could possibly come from a sale of the naming rights for the stadium) renovation from an upcoming city bond proposal for several modifications and updates to the stadium. These proposed renovations include expanding the seating capacity of the stadium from 76,000 to 92,107, new media and VIP facilities, a new scoreboard, updated restrooms and concession areas, lighting, utility and sound upgrades and the replacement of the stadium's seats. ^[1] Image File history File linksMetadata Download high-resolution version (2048x1330, 910 KB) EDIT of Image of TX OU Red River Shootout in Cotton Bowl seen from fair grounds - original. ...

Many consecutive summers of huge concerts featuring several bands began in July 1978 with the 1st annual "Texas Jam", which sold out with over 80,000 attendees. Over the years of the "Texas Jam" some of the top-billed headliner bands include: Aerosmith, Heart, Rush, Deep Purple, Boston, and others, to list all the many popular supporting acts would need tedious research but some were: Journey, Ted Nugent, Scorpions, Loverboy, Van Halen,... to name but a handful. There were occasionally additional rock music events those years such as the "Summer Blowout" in August/1979. Each "Texas Jam" or other rock events there had a unique lineup of major artists chosen by the promoter.
