[Husker] what happened to the Cotton Bowl?

[Sean McGrath]

Having just gotten back from Irving for the holiday yes the city is as
dry as dirt. This doesn't mean you can't bring it and tailgate just that
you will not be buying it in Irving. From what I understand, they do use
Texas stadium for HS ballgames and some average 40,000 or more for
attendance.

Sean (still numb over the season)

IIRC, Texas Stadium is in a dry county (or it used to be)

Still I think it would be a good place for a bowl,  The SWC
troubles of 80s and early 90s hurt.

just an idle (and innocent) question: why isn't the Cotton Bowl a major
bowl?  When I lived in Houton many years ago, the impression I got was
that
the actual Cotton Bowl stadium was too old / too small.  If so, why note
move the Cotton Bowl (game) moved to the Cowboys' field ?  Didn't the
Sugar
Bowl move to the Superdome?  besides, don't OU and TU still play in the
actual Cotton Bowl stadium?
