Info on the Cotton Bowl (Parking and other stuff)

Walk-on
I have lived in the DFW area since 1988 and have attended 3 Cotton Bowls as well as 2 Texas-OU games. Parking is a nightmare around the stadium. If you are going, plan to get there early. I live in Arlington, which is about 45 minutes to an hour away from the stadium and I plan on leaving my house at 7 am. There will be traffic in and around the stadium and it usually takes us til 8:30 or 9:00 to park.

If you do not have a parking pass i would very strongly recommend using DART's (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) shuttle to the game. The only parking, outside of official parking, are lots owned by people living in the neighborhood. The fair park side of Dallas is not the nicest part of town (to put it nicely) and I would not recommend you parking your car in one of these lots. You can find info on the DART shuttle here: http://www.dart.org/cottonbowl.asp?zeon=DARTHomePage

Hope everyone has safe travels to Dallas and enjoys their time in Texas...

Thanks for the info. very helpful

What about tailgating and drinking beer?

:cheers
That I am not exactly sure about. This is the first game at the Cotton Bowl that I will have gone to that I am of drinking age. I do know that tailgating and drinking is allowed for the Texas-OU game so I would assume the same policy is in place for the Cotton Bowl game.
