Why did the Cotton Bowl get all those renovations?

I past by there a couple of weekends ago and saw that they've added new upper deck bleachers and added a new scoreboard last year and new bleachers this year. Why would the city of Dallas spend all this money on this when the stadium will loose it's two biggest money makers in a couple of years (Red river shootout and Cotton Bowl game) to the New cowboys stadium? What other games do they expect to draw to this place?

1. I agree, the biggest problem with the cotton bowl isn't the facility, but the neighborhood it is in. Everytime the Hogs go there, i feel as if i'm taking my life into my hands.
2. They are going to be there for at least 8 more years. http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/latestnews/stories/042007dnmettexoucotton.25448997.html
3. Because Tony Temple blew the doors off that place with his performance.
