You need to be prepared if you're going to the TX/OU game on Saturday.

Now you have a good excuse to eat a corny dog or funnel cake for breakfast. The State Fair is opening early for the Texas/OU game with parking lots and fair gates opening at 7 a.m. while Cotton Bowl gates open at 9 a.m.

Karissa Condoianis with the State Fair of Texas says you can also save time by taking DART and by purchasing coupons online.

Your game ticket gets you into the fair and you are welcome to stay for food, rides and concerts after the game. Clear handbags only are allowed. No tobacco or alcohol is allowed in the stadium.

Show your team spirit but keep it friendly. Find more details at BigTex.com/football.
