AT&T Stadium sits in the Arlington Entertainment District, a 100,000-seat venue that Cowboys fans have nicknamed 'Jerry World' for its sheer scale and the 160-foot video board that dominates the interior. Public transit options are limited — Arlington is car-dependent — but the Texas Live! entertainment complex next door handles pre-game dining and drinks. Purchase parking in advance to save money and guarantee a spot, and stay within the Entertainment District or north Arlington to minimize the drive.
