DALLAS — Western Michigan and Wisconsin will meet Monday afternoon for the Cotton Bowl Classic.

FOX 17's Jason Hutton got a look at some of the major perks of playing in a New Years bowl game.

Between Texas and Notre Dame to Texas and Penn State and also Texas and Alabama, the Cotton Bowl has great history.

But something else that makes this bowl standout is the hospitality. Western has raved about the way the team has been treated since arriving on Monday.

The team went to the Cowboys-Lions game and the Dallas Maverick's game. Cedric the Entertainer performed for them. The team also saw a speed painter draw Muhammad Ali. However, the Cotton Bowl is best known for the 'swag' that its participants receive—including an Apple Watch.
