The Cotton Bowl has added a major sporting event Thanksgiving weekend as it hosts the Dallas Lone Star Classic football game between Texas Southern and Arkansas-Pine Bluff. The game is scheduled for Nov. 29 at 2:30 p.m. The Lone Star Classic represents a coup for Fair Park and the Cotton Bowl because it will be held on a day when the stadium is otherwise quiet, said Daniel Huerta, executive general manager of Fair Park."This is going to add another mix to that long weekend and provide a new option for people to come out," Huerta said.

Fair Park and BE Entertainment, the game's promoter, have a one-year contract for the game at the Cotton Bowl.
