Unlocking a magical new world of life and love, the first-ever Something Wonderful makes a touchdown at the Dallas Cotton Bowl. For one day, the legendary stadium will be transformed to Something Wonderful, a whimsical field of dance music.
Our iconic venue has hosted a world of entertainment in its 80-year history and we are going to break it down for you in a three-part series; beginning with, what else, football!
Are You Ready For Some Football?
There’s two things you don’t mess with – 1. Texas and 2. Something Wonderful’s hometown venue Cotton Bowl Stadium. Originally constructed in 1930, the Fair Park Stadium was renamed the Cotton Bowl six years later. Now a monument to the region’s love of the game, the stadium has housed everything from the FIFA World Cup in 1994, the Dallas Cowboys in the 1960s, the Texas State Fair, and even TV show, Friday Night Lights.
Historically, the gridiron football matches between deep-seated rivals command the stadium’s attention every fall season, with some of the biggest matches being the Red River Showdown, between University of Texas Longhorns and University of Oklahoma Sooners, and the State Fair Classic, pitting the Grambling State University Tigers against the Prairie View A&M University Panthers. The two recurring face-offs are the heart of big Texas spirit and have made this stadium a frequent stop for local and travelling sports fans for many years.
Sports may be the main vein, but come spring, the Cotton Bowl will host a Neverland of fantastic performances from internationally-known DJs when Something Wonderful makes its debut this April 18th. Tickets are now on sale, so grab yours and help make history!
