The Arkansas-Texas A&M football series will return to Cowboys Stadium.
The UA announced Wednesday that the Razorbacks and Aggies have agreed to play in Arlington, Texas, from 2014-2024.
The schools played in Jerry Jones' palace in Arlington each of the past three seasons in the Southwest Classic, with the Hogs winning each game, before A&M joined the SEC this year. The 2012 and 2013 games will be played on campus sites.
Texas A&M will host Arkansas at Kyle Field on Sept. 29, 2012 while the Razorbacks will host the Aggies at Razorback Stadium on Sept. 28, 2013.
“We are excited to have reached a new agreement to return our series with Texas A&M to Cowboys Stadium,” Athletic Director Jeff Long said in a news release. “The addition of Texas A&M into the SEC will only increase the excitement surrounding the Southwest Classic played in the world’s most spectacular stadium."
