Dallas Travel Guide
๐Getting to the Stadium: AT&T Stadium
AT&T Stadium is in Arlington, stuck between Dallas and Fort Worth with no rail connection. You'll need a car, Uber, or one of the special match-day shuttle buses. From DFW Airport, it's a 20-minute drive without traffic. From downtown Dallas, expect 30-40 minutes. Parking is plentiful but pricey ($40-75). The TRE commuter rail runs to CentrePort station, then you'll need a shuttle or rideshare for the last 5 miles.
๐ Where to Stay
Stay in downtown Dallas near the Arts District for walkable restaurants and nightlife. Deep Ellum is the live music neighborhood โ gritty, fun, lots of bars. Uptown has the nicer hotels and the Katy Trail for jogging. Fort Worth's Sundance Square is an underrated option โ more affordable, genuine Texan atmosphere, and only 15 minutes further from the stadium. Arlington itself has chain hotels near the stadium but zero walkability.
๐ดFood & Drink
Texas BBQ is mandatory. Pecan Lodge in Deep Ellum always has a line โ worth the wait. Terry Black's is another solid pick. Tex-Mex is the other food group here: try Mi Cocina or El Fenix. For something quick near the stadium, Arlington has standard chains. In Fort Worth, Joe T. Garcia's has a legendary patio and margaritas. Chicken-fried steak at AllGood Cafe rounds out the Texan experience.
โWeather
Dallas in June-July is scorching. Expect 35-40ยฐC (95-104ยฐF) with intense sun. AT&T Stadium has a retractable roof, which will likely be closed with AC running โ one of the few venues where heat won't matter inside. But tailgating and walking to the stadium will be hot. Hydrate aggressively.
๐ก Pro Tips
- โAT&T Stadium's retractable roof and AC make it one of the most comfortable venues โ enjoy it
- โArlington has no public transit. Budget for Uber/taxi or parking fees
- โThe stadium's massive video board is the world's largest indoor screen โ sit on the sidelines for the best view
- โStock up on water before tailgating. Heat exhaustion is a real risk at 100ยฐF+
