I like it. Know I am in the minority, but think it is a great venue, domed, great amenities (a little pricey), easy in/out, a real special place. Will hate to see it end when it does.

10 out of 11 doesn’t happen with a home and home. Home field advantage matters in college football and Jerry took that away so now this happened. He’s to blame.
As an OU fan who has watched OU play the Longhorns in Dallas every year for half a century... I feel your pain.
That game Saturday reminded me of how many times OU has lost to Texas in the Cotton Bowl by a similar manner. (Fluke plays and missed field goals). The OU/Texas game is too much a part of our program's history and legacy to ever take it out of Dallas...The game itself can't ever leave there
But I'd never advise any team to give up a home game to play a neutral site game in the other team's home state if your main concern is wins and losses.
Because even if it is not true... (that you wouldn't have gone 1-10 against that opponent home and home)...it's always going to seem that way.

I've been to the SWC a few years in a row now. I get the allure of home games, but IMO this is about as good as it gets for neutral site games. The facilities are world class and the location is pretty good for both teams.
It's almost up there with LSU vs Arkansas in War Memorial

The issue is long term advantage
Look at WLOCP being neutral which is cool because of the history but bad because it takes away a home game from each school
It seems 3 year rotation would be interesting but unless Hogs abandon Little Rock they are paying for 2 facilities and less use on each
My guess is TAMU is picked as they can sell their share of the tickets (lots of TAMU alumni) as opposed to TCU or TT. The best value of a venue like JerryWorld is the size and filling it up. If you only say fill half of it, better to play at home.

If it was home and home then games would go back and forth. I feel that playing in Arlington favored A&M more because it is still in Texas and feels more of a home game to them. The same with Arkansas in Little Rock.

I don't. It takes home games from both teams especially Arkansas since they give up home games to Little Rock.

We don't really pay shite for War Memorial
In fact they beg us to play there to stimulate their shite economy

A&M made the most sense.
