the Big 12 Championship Game has been held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, since its revival in 2017. Here's a brief overview of the history of the Big 12 Championship Game in Arlington:


Origins of the Big 12 Championship Game:


The Big 12 Conference was formed in 1996 when the Big Eight Conference and four teams from the Southwest Conference merged. The Big 12 initially had a championship game, but it was discontinued after the 2010 season.

Revival in 2017:


After a six-year hiatus, the Big 12 Championship Game was reintroduced for the 2017 season. The decision to bring back the championship game was influenced by the desire to enhance the conference's chances of making the College Football Playoff (CFP).

Selection of Arlington as the Host City:


The Big 12 selected AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, as the neutral-site location for the championship game. AT&T Stadium is the home of the Dallas Cowboys and is known for its state-of-the-art facilities and large seating capacity.

AT&T Stadium:


AT&T Stadium, often referred to as "Jerry World" after Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, is a prominent venue for major sporting events, including college football games, concerts, and other entertainment events.
