That might make for a HUGE advantage for the home team. The afternoon temperature difference on the two sidelines, if it's the typical sunny, warm day is more than 20 degrees, between the sun and the shade.
But it sure makes it easier to be a fan on game day. Making those 11 a.m. kickoffs since they expanded the Cotton Bowl over a decade ago, makes the congestion around the Cotton Bowl hard to navigate.
Pray for hot & sunny when we're the home team, and cool & rainy when we're visitors.
