Heart of Dallas Bowl History
This game had had a few names and has been played since the 2010 season. Last year, Army beat North Texas in the game, 38-31. North Texas is the only school to play in the bowl twice; it also did following the 2013 season and beat UNLV. Neither Utah nor West Virginia has played in the game previously. After having been played on January 1 or January 2 for its first four editions, the game moved to a late December date beginning with the 2014 season. It’s held at the historic Cotton Bowl, which is located at Fair Park in Dallas, home of the State Fair of Texas. That’s where Texas and Oklahoma play each year. The Cotton Bowl Classic called the stadium home from 1937 until the 2009 game, after which it moved to AT&T Stadium in Arlington.Latest Heart of Dallas Betting Trends
