In 2009, the game was held at AT&T Stadium (then Cowboy Stadium), the first time in the series the match-up was held on a neutral site. The game was the highest attended in the series' history, with 71,964 in attendance.[5]
After the 2010 game was held at the Cotton Bowl in Fair Park, Dallas during the State Fair of Texas, the series returned to AT&T Stadium for the 2011 to 2017 games. The two schools finalized a contract that extended the series there through 2018. Starting in 2019 however, the series will switch to campus sites, with Baylor hosting Texas Tech in 2019 in Waco and the Red Raiders hosting the Bears in 2020 in Lubbock.[6]
