COVID-19 POLICY
To ensure the safety of everyone at our event and due to the upgraded threat level in Dallas County, we highly encourage that all non-vaccinated patrons wear masks.
We also encourage everyone to practice social distancing inside and outside the stadium during our game and after-party. The Cotton Bowl is an open air facility, but there are areas (restrooms, VIP Suite, and concourses) that are more closed off than others.
We also ask that patrons only sit with members of their household or inner circle. Seating throughout the stadium is GA so there will be plenty of space to practice safe social distancing between groups.
Patrons MUST NOT attend the game if they have COVID-19, COVID-19 symptoms, or know they've been exposed to COVID-19. We ask that you take your temperature before departing for the Cotton Bowl. IF YOU ARE FEELING SICK, STAY AT HOME.
Lastly, if you do not feel comfortable attending an event of this size, rest assured that you won't miss a play as we will be streaming the game live online.
