Season 057 Opener

Texas, Arlington, AT&T Stadium.

This stadium, which can accommodate eighty thousand people, is the home field of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys and also plays host to a series of NCAA bowl and championship games.

Today, the curtain will slowly rise here for the 2016 to 2017 NCAA season.

With the NFL season set to kick off next Thursday, and professional games not yet in play, the NCAA games, taking the stage a step ahead, have attracted nationwide attention—

Since 2009, AT&T Stadium has had the honor of hosting the annual NCAA season opener, known as the "Cowboys Classic," which has gradually evolved into a brand-new festival, heralding the arrival of a new football season, much like a carnival.

Each year, AT&T Stadium negotiates with the NCAA to invite teams with topical matchups for the season opener. Maybe not a clash of titans or a battle of seeded teams, but it's guaranteed to ensure viewership and focus.
