Winter Classic forces First Responder Bowl out of Cotton Bowl to SMU's Ford Field

The First Responder Bowl has a temporary new home.
The maligned postseason college football game will move to SMU's Ford Stadium, ESPN announced Thursday afternoon. The game, which is owned and operated by the TV network, will take place at 11:30 a.m. on Dec. 30.
According to an ESPN spokesperson, the game was moved because of a conflict at the Cotton Bowl, where the event was held since its inception in 2011. The NHL's Winter Classic, the league's annual outdoor hockey game, will take place on Jan. 1 at the historic venue when the Dallas Stars face the Nashville Predators.
The plan is to move the postseason game back to Fair Park after next year.
"If there's any intention of it being anything other than that, that's not anything we have discussed," Hart said.
It's unclear how the move will affect funding or the bowl game's viability moving forward. In 2018, Dallas City Council approved a $300,000 payment to be paid over a two-year period to keep the game at the Cotton Bowl, as The Dallas Morning News' Robert Wilonsky reported.

Stupid to have a Winter Classic in Texas.
The temp will probably be in the 70s.

They should have that bowl game at SMU's stadium every year.

SMU’s stadium is really cool.

Huge upgrade.
SMU’s stadium is smaller and much nicer than the Cotton Bowl.
When it’s not State Fair month Fair Park is sketchy as hell.
People might actually go to the bowl now that it’s essentially in Highland Park

Don't count on the averages. Went to a Cotton Bowl before and it was upper 60s and sunny. Was the first of the 2 Cotton Bowls that Ole Miss played in recently.

It’ll probably be cool but there’s a chance it could be 80 degrees. What a retarded decision on a location.
