Stadium Guide

The Experience

One of the most technically advanced stadiums ever built — retractable roof, the world's largest HD video board at time of opening, and a design that makes it feel intimate at 80,000 capacity. Every major event category has been here: Super Bowls, Final Fours, College Football Playoffs, World Cup 2026.

Inside

The Stadium

  • Retractable roof — expected closed for summer World Cup matches to manage Texas heat
  • Full climate control throughout the seating bowl and concourses regardless of outdoor temperatures
  • The centre-hung video board is one of the largest in the world — remarkable replay visibility from every tier
  • 300 Level mezzanine delivers the best value-to-experience ratio in the building — strong angles, excellent board views
  • Field Level Suites are within feet of the action — the highest-impact group experience available
  • Clear bag policy enforced — verify event-specific requirements before arriving
Day Of

Arrive Ready

  • 90 minutes early minimum for major events — add time for premium entry, high-demand fixtures, and World Cup 2026 international crowds
  • No direct rail service — rideshare, car, or private transport are the primary options from Dallas or Fort Worth
  • Pre-purchase parking well in advance for World Cup and Cowboys playoff games — lots sell out
  • Parking lots, rideshare zones, and walking routes are outdoors — Texas summer heat is real, bring water
  • Globe Life Field (Rangers) is adjacent — easy same-trip combination for baseball fans

Where to Sit

Seating Map

Four tiers from Field Level to the 400s — the 300 Level mezzanine is the strongest value in the building for almost any event.

AT&T Stadium seating map
Tier Breakdown

02
100/200 Level Corner
Strong diagonal views with proximity to near-endzone scoring. Good balance of field proximity and price — lower rows improve sightlines significantly.

04
300 Level — Best Value
Strongest value tier at AT&T Stadium. Strong mezzanine sightlines, excellent visibility of the world's largest video board, and a genuinely good experience at a fraction of lower-bowl prices.
05
300 Level Corner
Diagonal mezzanine views — affordable and well-positioned relative to the video board. Good option for groups where cost-per-head is a factor without sacrificing the mezzanine elevation advantage.
06
400 Level Upper Deck — Most Affordable
Most budget-friendly. The centre-hung video board delivers genuinely strong replay value from this level. Sit midfield for the best upper-deck angle.

Matchday Comfort

Roof & Climate

AT&T Stadium's retractable roof and full climate control make it one of the most comfortable large stadiums in the country — but only once you're inside.

Roof Policy
Closed for Summer Matches
Roof configuration is set by event organisers. For summer FIFA World Cup fixtures, expect it closed to manage Texas heat and maintain consistent match conditions for players and fans.
Inside
Climate-Controlled Throughout
Concourses, premium areas, and the seating bowl are fully air-conditioned. Comfortable year-round regardless of outdoor temperatures — one of the defining advantages of AT&T Stadium for summer events.
Planning Tip
Plan for Outdoor Exposure
Parking lots, rideshare queues, and walking routes are all outdoors. Texas summer heat is real — bring water, wear light layers, and build extra time into your arrival window. The inside is comfortable; the outside isn't.
Getting Here

Parking, Rideshare
& Entry

No direct rail service — car, rideshare, or private transport are your options. The fastest exit is rarely the closest lot.

Parking
On-Site — Pre-Purchase Required
Large surface lots surround the Entertainment District. Pre-purchase online well in advance — lots sell out for Cowboys playoff games and World Cup fixtures. Premium parking may be bundled with select premium products.
Exit Strategy
Walk First, Then Rideshare
Park farther out and walk 10–15 minutes rather than fighting the tightest post-event choke points. For rideshare, coordinate pickup slightly outside the perimeter — zones run slow after major events and surge pricing applies.
Timing
90 Min Before Kickoff
Standard arrival window. Add extra time for premium entry, high-demand fixtures, and World Cup 2026 international crowds. Mobile ticket entry is standard at all gates — load everything before leaving the hotel.
Travel Times

Getting Here

  • DFW International Airport ~20–25 min — closest major airport
  • Dallas Love Field (DAL) ~30 min by car or rideshare
  • Uptown Dallas ~30 min — dining and nightlife extension
  • Downtown Fort Worth ~20 min west — Sundance Square alternative
Address

AT&T Stadium

1 AT&T Way, Arlington, TX 76011

Globe Life Field (Rangers) is directly adjacent — a Cowboys game and a Rangers game is the easiest same-trip combination in pro sports. Confirm official traffic routing and pickup meet point signage day-of when coordinating private transport.

Where to Stay

Hotels & Neighborhoods

AT&T Stadium sits in the Arlington Entertainment District — four zone options from venue-adjacent to full Dallas or Fort Worth city experience.

Closest

Arlington

Venue-adjacent hotels in the Entertainment District. No transport required on event nights. Globe Life Field is steps away for Rangers combination packages.

Upscale & Central

Las Colinas

Irving's business and leisure hub — 20 min from the stadium with a strong hotel selection and easy DFW airport access. Best for fly-in groups.

Best City Experience

Uptown Dallas

Dallas's best dining and cocktail bar corridor — 30 min from AT&T Stadium. Strongest option for groups who want a full Dallas city experience around the event.

Underrated Option

Downtown Fort Worth

Sundance Square offers a walkable, authentic Texas experience — 20 min west. Often better value than Dallas equivalents and easier to navigate post-game.

Luxury

  • Live! by Loews Arlington — closest premium option to the venue
  • The Ritz-Carlton Dallas — Uptown, full-service luxury
  • Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek
  • Hotel Crescent Court — Uptown Dallas

4-Star

  • Matched to date, inventory, and group size

Final selections depend on date-specific availability. We place your group in the strongest option at time of booking.

Around the Venue

Globe Life Field is literally next door — Cowboys and Rangers in the same trip is the easiest multi-venue sports combination in the country. Six Flags Over Texas is minutes away for groups adding a leisure day. Uptown Dallas (30 min east) and Sundance Square, Fort Worth (20 min west) are both strong evening extensions after the event.

FAQ

Common Questions

First-time visitor answers, plainly stated.

For summer FIFA fixtures, the roof is expected to be closed — configuration is set by event organisers to manage Texas heat and maintain consistent match conditions for players and fans. The concourse and seating bowl are fully climate-controlled, so comfort inside won't be an issue. Plan for outdoor exposure in the parking lots and walking routes.

DFW International is the closest at roughly 20–25 minutes under normal conditions. Dallas Love Field (DAL) is approximately 30 minutes and better for Southwest flights. For World Cup 2026, both airports will see significantly elevated traffic — build extra buffer time into your arrival day logistics.

The 300 Level mezzanine is the strongest all-round recommendation — strong angles, excellent video board visibility, and a noticeably better experience than the upper deck at a fraction of lower-bowl prices. If budget allows, the 100/200 sideline club area is the step-up — better sightlines, wider seats, and premium concourse access. The Field Level is the highest-impact option if it's available for your event.

Significantly. World Cup 2026 will bring international crowds, festival-level atmosphere, elevated security protocols, and demand for premium access that is orders of magnitude higher than a standard Cowboys Sunday. Arrive earlier, expect longer queues at all entry points, and plan your post-match exit more carefully. Premium and suite inventory for World Cup is largely pre-allocated — contact us well before fixtures are announced.

Yes — they share the same Entertainment District footprint and are steps apart. A Cowboys game and a Rangers game in the same Arlington trip is the easiest multi-venue sports combination in the country. Tell us your dates and we'll build the package around both.
