Raiders and Cowboys to scrimmage in El Paso
EL PASO, Texas (AP) - The Oakland Raiders and the Dallas Cowboys
will scrimmage on Thursday night, Aug. 6, in the 52,000-seat
Sun Bowl.
The Cowboys drew 43,000 last year when they scrimmaged the
San Diego Chargers. Dallas and Houston drew 51,118 fans in 1996.
"The Raiders have been a visible part of our training
camp for several years now," said Dallas owner Jerry Jones.
"The opportunity to face them in a scrimmage provides our
team with a decent test at an important part of our camp."
The Cowboys will train in Wichita Falls this year beginning
in mid-July.
The scrimmage will start at 7:30 p.m. after a 30-minute performance
by the Cowboys cheerleaders.
