Mission
THE MISSION IS TO PRESENT THE MOST INNOVATIVE OF ALL COLLEGE FOOTBALL BOWL GAMES AND TO BE THE LEADER IN CREATING PREMIER COLLEGE SPORTS EXPERIENCES FOR UNIVERSITIES, STUDENT ATHLETES, SPONSORS AND THE COMMUNITY.
Program accomplishments
- From Slingin' Sammy Baugh to Troy Aikman and Johnny Manziel, the annual Cotton Bowl Classic continues to rank among America's great sports endeavors. For nearly eight (8) decades, the Cotton Bowl has been the shining star of postseason collegiate sports in Texas. The January 2, 2024 game marked the 87th anniversary of this historic event featuring college football at its finest. Two of the nation's top teams - Tulane University and University of Southern California - traveled to North Texas to do battle. Over 55,329 people witnessed an exciting game which Tulane won 46-45. The Cotton Bowl Classic is more than a game, however. For almost nine decades, the Classic has given more than $205 million to higher education. The Cotton Bowl also produces many events surrounding the game, including providing free access to a Dallas Cowboys youth football clinic at AT&T Stadium, children's' hospital visits, band concerts and Hall of Fame ceremonies. When the game week gets here, huge crowds of college football fans converge on North Texas to participate in the festive pre-game activities, and the generous Texas-style hospitality. These enthusiastic visitors generated over $54 million in direct economic impact for the region. Special civic and volunteer committees work year-round to provide the best in hospitality and entertainment for the players, media and the institution's official party. Nearly 16 million more fans watched game activities on ESPN that included a pre-game spectacular, a half-time extravaganza and some of college football's finest hours. And no matter the outcome of the game, no matter the year, it is a special and unique event that garners the attention of the nation and keeps the rich tradition of post-season college football in North Texas alive for past, present and future generations. Founded in 1936, the first Cotton Bowl Classic was played January 1, 1937, between Texas Christian University and Marquette University. The Frogs, behind legendary quarterback Sammy Baugh, defeated the Golden Avalanche that day 16-6 before 17,000 spectators at Fair Park Stadium. It was the beginning of a great tradition. The idea for a post-season football classic belonged to the late J. Curtis Sanford, a Dallas oil man, who promoted that first game as a private enterprise and covered expenses with $6,000 out of his own pocket. With an economic depression still gripping the country, and tremors of global unrest becoming more apparent, Sanford's dream of a Texas sports spectacle was deemed unrealistic by many observers. Time has vindicated Sanford's vision.
