Texas Stadium makes so much more sense. I am not sure of the seating diff. but access has to be better than the fairgrounds? Plus the Cowboys are moving to Arlington.

Would take on a whole new meaning if we played the Ponies. 41 Points in 38 Seconds.

I'd love to see them continue at the CB, but not to the detriment of the rivalry.  If Mayor Hitler doesn't really amp the place up, move.  I'd love to see the game in Arlington but doubt that it would happen.  I wouldn't be opposed to a home and home, but it would definitely lose some of it's luster.  Part of what makes the rivalry great, IMO, is the half and half stadium.  That, and I fear what those stupid fans would do to the players in Norman.  They've never been accused of being classy.

Nothing lasts forever. Bringing OU to Austin every other year would do nothing but generate tons of revenue for the University. In fact, I think that would clinch, if the national title didn't already, the approval of about 15 to 20 thousand more seats at DKR.

I'll avoid the Hitler reference (Miller converted to Judaism I hear for her husband) but the sentiment (dislike for her and her approach) is similar.

She's such a glass half empty b--ch.  Instead of (glass half full concept) getting Jerry Jones to "subsidize" the City of Dallas and pay half the costs of rebuilding the Cotton Bowl (one of Dallas' few core assets), she refused to "subsidize" Jerry Jones (glass half empty), which Arlington is more than happy to do.

Now she wants the Dallas citizens to include in a bond package $50 million to "upgrade" the dump (add upper decks to both end zones and replace the chairs with benchs/bench backs) to get to 90,000+ seats.  Plus how many porto-potties can you buy for $50 million dollar (the presumed restroom expansion).

It'd be nice (I'm not a fan of either program) to keep the game but as a Dallas resident, who could blame UTx or OU from telling the city go screw the pooch (you're sloppy seconds after Queen Miller).

I don't live in the Metroplex, and haven't followed the local politics at all.  I also don't much care for municipalities building great venues for sports team owners who want their teams to be a civic enterprise only and as long as it benefits them, but want it to be their own private enterprise when that suits them better...  I wish cities that built stadiums out of public moneys could attach a rider that they would have right of first refusal if and when the owner decided to sell his "civic enterprise" team...

All that aside though, it sure does seem like the mayor screwed up big-time.  That part of the city could sure use a boost, and a venue like the revamped Cotton Bowl, with all the ancillary enterprises, could help do that.  And a previous poster's opinions notwithstanding, a venue like that can help out.  Just check out Baltimore's Inner Harbor and SF's South of Market areas after their baseball stadiums were built.  The trick is, it can be a piece of the solution, but not the entire solution.  To not even try it as a piece though, seems awfully short-sighted, to say the least.

I loved the Texas-OU game at the Cotton Bowl. I still think this is the best rivalry game in all of sports.  The split stadium, the party weekend out of town for both schools, the whole state fair background. If that can't be salvaged, then I would prefer a home-and-home rather than a move to Arlington or Irving.  You're not going to recapture the magic by just making a game up close by...
