The Dallas Cowboys have been in their plush home of AT&T Stadium since the 2009 season. It's hosted major events like the Super Bowl, the Final Four, and WrestleMania. 

In 2016, the Cowboys opened up another lavish facility called Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas. The 12,000-seat indoor stadium is where the Cowboys hold their practices during the season and it hosts high school football, too.

Well, The Star will host another major event, the East-West Shrine Bowl in February 2024.

“We’re thrilled to work with the Dallas Cowboys to host this game at the Ford Center at The Star and carry on the tradition of impacting lives beyond the football field,” said Kenny Craven, CEO of Shriners Children’s. “The East-West Shrine Bowl helps raise the profile of Shriners Children’s and the amazing care provided to children around the world.”

The East-West Shrine Bowl started in 1925. It's an all-star game of the best college football players from the East and Western parts of the United States (all players must be seniors). Scouts from NFL teams attend the practices and the actual game of course to get even more of a feel for what these players bring to the table which will aid them in the draft process. 

This is yet another win for the Cowboys organization.
