Pregame festivities get gameday started the right way

Goodyear Huddle Up

  This edition of the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic features a new pregame venue: Texas Live! Only today it will be known as Cotton Bowl Live! Presented by Dr Pepper.
   The Texas Live! food and entertainment facility, opened last August, is just a short walk from AT&T Stadium. It's situated between the current home of the Texas Rangers, Globe Life Park, and the baseball team's new home in 2020, Globe Life Field.
   Cotton Bowl Live! Presented by Dr Pepper will feature a pregame concert by platinum-selling country music artist Chris Lane. The venue offers multiple eating and drinking establishments as well as entertainment areas for both large and small performances.
   Texas Live! was also the scene for the annual Battle of the Bands rally on the eve of the game.
   For those wanting to stay close to the stadium, once again the Goodyear Huddle Up features pregame rallies for ticketed fans of both teams.
   Clemson fans are gathering in the AT&T Plaza on the west end of the stadium while Notre Dame fans are congregating in the Miller Lite Plaza on the east side.
   And for those watching at home, the game broadcast is at 3 pm Central Time on ESPN. Kickoff is expected to be at 3:10 pm, so set your DVRs accordingly.
