This year marks the 77th AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic, and what a celebration it will be as we revel in the past and look to a bright future with two terrific teams representing the Big 12 and Southeastern Conference. Not only are we celebrating our diamond anniversary, but the Classic is sure to have a special buzz this year as the game moves to primetime, under the lights on Friday night.

To help you plan your trip for the 77th Classic, we have created this website to provide information you may need concerning our fantastic new home, Cowboys Stadium, as well as hotel and transportation tips. As you scroll through the website, take a moment to learn more about our past and the valuable relationships we have forged to make the AT&T Cotton Bowl a success.

 Any discussion of partnerships must begin with our great title sponsor, AT&T. Our partnership with AT&T began in 1996 and is recognized as one of the longest-standing title sponsorships among all the bowls. I would like to offer a sincere thank you to Chairman/CEO Randall Stephenson and his dedicated employees at AT&T for the strong commitment to the Classic.

There is no doubt the fans at Cowboys Stadium will be treated to a fantastic matchup. We look forward to making your stay in North Texas as fun and memorable as possible. Thank you for your support of the AT&T Cotton Bowl, and best wishes for a happy and healthy 2013. Enjoy the 77th Classic!

Tommy Bain,

Chairman Cotton Bowl Athletic Association
