The Cotton Bowl during the Fair is a great and unique atmosphere. I actually hate going to games at Jerry World. It doesn't have the atmosphere of a great college venue. It was the same thing for the NCAA tourney. It is just too big and busy.

State fair is ok

I think Houston rodeo is better.

It could be cool if HLSR did a special college basketball game one night. Instead of a concert. Logistics need to be worked out

I can't stand watching games played at Jerry World on TV.

The south side of Fair Park sucks. But the north side is good. We rode our bicycles to the fair today. I ride on the north side all the time with no issues.

Jerry would '"jerry-ize" the game, make it prime time and sponsor it to the hilt with papa johns. And it would end the uniqueness of the game... Namely the fair setting.

If Texas didn't suck it would be at 2:30. And I'm talking about multiple years of suckiness and routs that eroded national interest in this game.

Noooo. One of my favorite games to watch every year and a big reason is the location.

B/c jerry world is a soulless stadium that sucks the life out of the game atmosphere.

This is one of the games a college football fan needs to see at least once. The atmosphere, coupled with a game, is worthy of a trip.

To have it at Jerryworld would be horrible.

No, it's always a day game but it's either noon or 2:30 depending on national interest.

The game wouldn't be the same in jerry world. Somethings are better left untouched

This could never work for 1000 reasons but an Astros spring training game in the dome would be sick
