Only been here once and it wasn't to watch a football game. If you have a dog you must check out Puppy Bowl. Once a year they open it as one large dog park.

Definitely a place to check out for all College Football fans!Upvoted Sep 27- HISTORYApril 6, 2010It sits on the original site of the State Fair Stadium, which was built entirely from wood in 1921. It is famous for the Red River Shootout, a football showdown between OU & UT Austin.
