College Football Playoff National Championship

The biggest college football game of the season actually takes place on Monday, January 12 and not the weekend, but it's a major milestone for The American Dream City. Arlington, TX is the host for the first-ever CFP National Championship at AT&T Stadium. The game features Oregon (13-1) and Ohio State (13-1), the two final teams remaining after victories in the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl respectively. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. CT and the game will air on ESPN. Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer has already won two national titles, during the 2006 and 2008 seasons with Florida. Oregon head coach Mark Helfrich has never appeared in a National Championship game since taking over the team in 2013. For information about the bag policy for the game or to learn about parking, please visit AT&T Stadium's website.
