- As the 90th Goodyear Cotton Bowl is about to kickoff at AT&T Stadium, one tradition continues to shine just as brightly as the big game itself—the Cotton Bowl Art Contest. Now in its 27th year, the art contest blends the excitement of college football with the creativity of young artists across North Texas. Each year, more than 10,000 entries pour in from students in grades 1 through 6, showcasing their talents.
The contest isn’t just about art—it’s about creating unforgettable experiences. Winners in each age group receive tickets to the game, and their artwork is displayed on the stadium’s big screen for thousands of fans to see and also displayed at the Cotton Bowl offices throughout the year. “The fun part of the job is being able to do things like this,” said Michael Konradi of the Cotton Bowl Classic. “How we can take this big game, this big brand that is the Cotton Bowl and do something positive with it.”

The Northeast Branch, located at 1905 Brown Blvd., is undergoing improvements that includes repairs to the accessibility ramp, roof replacement, window replacement and a new front entrance door, all designed to extend the life of the building and enhance the patron experience. To accommodate construction activities, there will be a temporary partial closure of the parking lot on the west side of the property. In addition, handicap parking and ramp access have been adjusted to the east side of the building to ensure continued accessibility while work is underway.
Despite these changes, the library remains open and is accessible to the public. This project, approved by Arlington voters in the 2023 Bond Election, is expected to be complete by February 2026.

- The Arlington Tennis Center is now serving up a major upgrade — brand-new, high-efficiency LED lighting that transforms the playing experience for competitors and spectators alike.
Originally, each court was equipped with six light fixtures. Today, that number has doubled to 12 per court, bringing the total from 132 to 264 light heads across the facility. Each 500-watt LED unit produces approximately 8,000 lumens — totaling an impressive 96,000 lumens per court. The result: dramatically improved visibility, consistency, and performance for evening play.
This upgrade elevates Arlington Tennis Center to Class II lighting standards, suitable for NCAA championship-level events.
“With these new lights, we’re able to host tournaments and matches we couldn’t before,” said James Helvey, Tennis Services Manager and Head Tennis Professional for Arlington Parks, Recreation & Culture. “In the past, we had to worry about weather delays and poor v...
