Texas Tech, OSU to move annual game to Dallas

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Texas Tech and Oklahoma State are finalizing plans to move their annual Big 12 game to Dallas.

The first game probably will be in 2009, but the site remains undetermined. The schools are looking at the Cotton Bowl or the Dallas Cowboys’ new stadium in Arlington.

The Cowboys’ new stadium is scheduled to open in 2009, but Tech athletic director Gerald Myers said no commitment had been made either to Cowboys owner Jerry Jones or to the Cotton Bowl Athletic Association.

“We’ve got to decide which one we can sell the most tickets to,” Myers said. “That’s a big part of it.”

The 2008 game between the Red Raiders and the Cowboys will be played in Lubbock.
