Can't believe they are playing in the Cotton Bowl and at 11:00 AM.

I'd vote for it to go back to a true home and away game before going to the theme park. The only reason it's OK to be a neutral site game is because of the state fair.

It's crazy that they did all that to that place for basically one game a year.

Because some teams care about tradition. Same reason UGA/UF will never be played in the nicest stadium in the world when it opens in 2 years.

The city pressured them into it.

Cotton Bowl is nice now, neighborhood around it sucks, stare fair, tradition, that's what keeps it there.

How is the state fair? Just a bunch of carney rides and corn dogs? Or are there traditional Texas musical acts each night like Robert Earl Keen, Jerry Jeff, etc? Or crappy fair level rock groups like Three Dog Night, or random Nashville country guys?

State Fair is ok. Lotta people love it though. Yeah the neighborhood sucks but Dallas is small. Your 10 minutes from one of the richest neighborhoods in the U.S. and your 5 minutes from upscale Uptown or chill Deep Ellum.

Oh and FCK JERRY WORLD.

It'd be a travesty if they moved that game.
