Today’s Cotton Bowl Stadium is an exciting sports venue that is larger and more sophisticated than ever before.<\/p>\n

A $57 million makeover in the 2000s has resulted in an arena that is the ninth largest football stadium in the United States, with 92,100 seats.<\/p>\n

\"CottonThere are twice as many restrooms and concession stands as before. The upper and lower decks in both end zones now feature wall-to-wall restrooms and concession stands. Meanwhile, fans can now walk the entire inside perimeter of the stadium, thanks to a new upper deck that wraps 360 degrees without a barrier.<\/p>\n

A three-story structure above the players’ tunnel at the end of the stadium now features the coaches’ locker room. A media room accommodating 250 people has replaced the tent that used to serve as the working space for reporters.<\/p>\n

To improve crowd flow, the stadium also features one larger entrance gate opposite of the tunnel entrance and four, large stair-tower entrances where the old part of the stadium adjoins the new section.<\/p>\n
