AT&T Stadium Guide

NFL · Dallas

Last updated: 3/20/2026

AT&T Stadium is in Arlington, not Dallas, and requires a car due to extremely limited public transit options. Visitors should plan to drive or use a rideshare with a designated pickup and drop-off area in Lot 15. For the most convenient trip, stay in the surrounding Arlington Entertainment District or book a hotel in Downtown Fort Worth.
