Texas and Oklahoma have agreed to extend their historic rivalry game at the Cotton Bowl through 2036, the two schools announced Wednesday.
As part of the deal, the city of Dallas has agreed to an estimated $140 renovation of the aging stadium, which opened in 1930.
The Longhorns and Sooners first met at a neutral site at the State Fair of Texas in 1929 and have played every game in the Cotton Bowl since it opened the next year.
The rivalry game began in 1900 and the two teams played for the 119th time this season. In recent years, as teams around the country have played at neutral sites in modern NFL stadiums, there have been questions if Texas and Oklahoma should consider a similar arrangement.
