Programme, yes, tournament brochure at $12 so didn’t bother.
I had been to the Cotton Bowl Stadium to watch an American Football match back in September (see American Football section), when there was a much bigger crowd, but this was a rare opportunity to tick off the stadium for a proper football match ! Sadly, ‘soccer’ is hardly ever played here anymore , so I thought I would get this one done today. The last non youth match played here was a Real Madrid friendly in 2014 as far as I can tell.
The stadium is beginning to show its age now, although improved from when it hosted the FIFA World Cup back in 1994. Today’s crowd was totally lost in the 92,100 capacity bowl, with only the west side open to spectators.
