(9/26) Dallas Officials looking for long term commitment, and Oklahoma Football Articles

Oklahoma Football Notes and Articles

Dallas looking for long term commitment from Universities: Other council members said they're worried about committing millions of dollars with no guarantee that the gridiron grudge match that has become the centerpiece of the State Fair will stick around long term. City and fair officials are optimistic that a refurbished stadium could attract additional football and soccer games, as well as other events, but the Texas-Oklahoma game is the Cotton Bowl's crown jewel. Economic impact studies have shown that the game is a big money maker for local businesses. However, the city has no cost-benefit analysis detailing what kind of return it could expect if it provides the Cotton Bowl with a multi-million dollar infusion. And in other cities, critics have questioned whether older stadiums ultimately become money pits. Council members have suggested that a 10-year commitment from Texas and Oklahoma to play in Dallas could ease their angst. (Dallas Morning News)
