They overwhelmed ND Stadium, the first time they played there and they show up in huge numbers at both Big Ten games and bowls. Candidly, I would expand Ford Stadium to accommodate a semi-annual game with them, but would accept Jerry's World until Ford Renovation is complete.
This is likely cost prohibitive...I'd rather spend that money on an IPF and your new natatorium. Alternatively, I would schedule the game at the Cotton Bowl during the State Fair rather than Jerryworld. The Cotton Bowl's accessibility and lower prices would make it an easier draw for the casual fan in the DFW area, and it still has plenty of seats (90k+)
Nebraska is a great idea, they travel well and used to recruit TX very well- I bet they'd be receptive to the idea. Arkansas doesnt have a reason to do so- they play A&M every year at Jerryworld starting next year. Another team to consider would be Tennessee- they travel very well, and recruit a couple guys from TX each year. Also- Rick's dad is their AD so you know we could at least get the phone call through...
