My God the strawmen in this thread are out of control.  WE WANT TO KEEP THE GAME AT THE COTTON BOWL AND THE FAIR.  Just fix the obvious shit like:

1) Entrance gates that don't require 45 minute long waits

2) Don't run out of water bottles at halftime

3) Open up more concession stands to reduce the wait time for beer

4) (to Dallas): fix the DART trains that stay at stops for 10+ minutes, requiring over 60 minutes to get from the fair park station to downtown

5) (to the Fair) If you're in a generous mood and want extra credit, get rid of the fucking coupons at the fair - because the coupon lines are long and I would have spent $100 on stupid shit playing "toss the dart at the balloon" if it didn't require waiting in the coupon line

I'm willing to deal with the heat, crowds and the horse trough pissers.  Just fix the above and keep the good stuff.

I am with you on the coupons. I had two buddies with me that did not attend either school, this was their 2nd time and they fucking hate the coupons. Just go to cash or pay apps, maybe by improving the cell signal at the park, they can move more towards pay apps.

Replacing coupons is like replacing the wax cups. They’ll never do it and they never should. It’s what makes the fair great. 
 

8 coupons for a fucking corny dog sounds a lot more reasonable than seeing $8. Oh and you wanna go tap pay be ready for the tip option like Starbucks and fuck that. Give me coupons all day.

We should kill this thread because the notion of not having this game at the fair is insulting and stupid.

Who the fuck has said we shouldn’t have the game at the Cotton Bowl besides fucking jimmyjazz?  Saying the CB is a shithole, which it absolutely fucking is, is not even suggesting the game be held elsewhere.

I’ve been 5 times. Twice before the complete upper deck expansion and 3 times after. What exactly is so unsustainable? It’s crowded, hot, and old. If you’re expecting 2024 amenities from a 96 year old stadium just keep your ass at home. This game is a portal back to the times before club suites and Lexus lounges. Just like attending a game at Wrigley, I know before I go it’s going to be crowded and cramped with long lines. But dammit it’s a majestic experience and hard not to have a reverence for legends of the past when walking in, knowing that Street, Steinmark, Earl, Ricky, Vince, McCoy among many others all played on the same grass now immortals for their Red River heroics. Have some respect for the game.

Congrats on your 5 trips. I’ve been 30 times. It’s a piece of shit stadium that is nowhere close to some stadiums of its vintage. I’m not talking about amenities. I’m not talking about lacking respect for the fucking game. I’m talking very specifically about the venue that is falling apart and has zero ingress and egress. It’s terrible and it’s absolutely not sustainable. Try not to create too many more strawmen before your 6th visit.

Should probably just stay home and watch it at your mansion on Lake Austin.

I’ve been going to the TX OU game since 1982. I’ve seen over 35 of them. Only missed a few years. Went last year.

It’s always been uncomfortable, but it definitely got pretty bad last year. So much so I decided to not go this year. But no matter how bad it gets, I would never trade that incredible experience for anything else. 

Some of the most amazing sports moments of my life were in that stadium. It was magical and legendary. They just need to add bathrooms, add ways to get more concessions, and fix some flow issues. It’s doable. 

Anyone advocating for home and home or movement to Jerry World can go fuck themselves with a Sooner dildo.

The fantastic sight lines from damn near any seat inside that stadium (unless behind a column) almost make up for the shitshow that is everything else.  I'm optimistic they can improve some with these renovations.  It doesn't have to be perfect and it should never be "comfortable".  But it shouldn't be a shit show either.  It's a pretty low bar.

The worst part about the Cotton Bowl are the shitty employees there. A lot of the people working booths are just fucking rude. There were so many fans in other peoples seats yesterday who just flat out refused to move and the ushers would just shrug and ignore it. My son had a bunch of bitchy sorority girls that took over he and his friends seats before they arrived and refused to leave. They tried to sit in empty seats near there and got yelled at by olds for sitting in their seats. Someone needs to police that shit because it got really out of hand in some areas and almost started several fights.

It’s possible to love the game at the State Fair and Cotton Bowl and also recognize the major failures that could be improved.

No one wants it moved to Jerryworld. We just want better ingress/egress and concessions that don’t run out of everything before halftime.

Not being able to buy anything to eat or drink does not magically add to the charm of a football game.

I am hoping that the 2025 version is vastly improved because the place is a shit hole that is not designed to hold 90K. I will also say the talent was on full display, but where are the titties in today's female college student?

They have dump trucks instead

1983 here. Moerschell, Luck, Terry Orr, streakin' Edwin Simmons. Cade & Gray. Marcus Dupree, meet Richard Peavy. Marcus Dupree, meet the Longhorn sideline. Good times. Seems like yesterday. Crazy.

When I finally got to my seats after battling the unscannable ticket issue and the horrid line through Gates B and C, I was huffing and puffing and pissed off. And this couple was sitting in our seats. This bitch was doing me a favor by offering to switch seats with me.

Fuck no, you snapperhead. I spent a good bit of time selecting the best available seats when I bought  I’m not letting you have my seats and squeezing in with a bunch of heifers. Dumb bitch.

Congrats on your 30 times. I’ve been to every game since 1984 save the Covid year. You’re a fucking jerkoff, and always have been.

They definitely need better security. Fuck all that frat and mainly sorority whore bullshit of extra tickets when they don't have one. That's why my dad told me to always get there early. LOL last year some Chi O or whatever the fuck she was came up to me and my buddy telling us we were in her seats. I said, "no I don't think so. These are my seats" then showed her my phone with the section, row and seat numbers while pointing to the seats. She went blank and left the section. That's how you do it. Was tempted to let her and her friend sit with us maybe if she had sucked me off in the bathroom stall lol 

And for security, then definitely need more police at every gate to help monitor and keep traffic flow. The reason people without ticket keep sneaking in and getting away with it is because the Cotton Bowl security folks are all seasonal and don't really get paid enough to give a shit.
