AT&T Stadium sits in Arlington — halfway between Dallas and Fort Worth, technically nowhere near the city whose name the Cowboys carry — and that geography is exactly what makes group transportation both a logistical puzzle and a solved problem. The drive from Uptown is about 25 minutes without traffic. The drive from Uptown on a Cowboys Sunday afternoon, when I-30 turns into a moving parking lot between Mesquite and Collins Street, is a completely different conversation.
This guide answers the question every trip organizer asks first: where exactly does the bus drop us off, where does it wait, and what does our group need to know before we pull out of the lot?
We coordinate game-day and concert trips to AT&T Stadium regularly, so the logistics below come from doing it — not from a stadium brochure. By the end, you'll know the bus drop-off zone, the Lot 15 bus parking setup, what changes for World Cup matches, how the tailgate rules actually work, which routes to avoid on I-30, and how a Dallas party bus or charter bus rental compares to every other option your group is weighing. For the full picture of how we handle sporting events across DFW, see our Dallas sporting event transportation service.

Why Rent a Bus to AT&T Stadium?
Arlington doesn't have a light rail stop. DART doesn't run to AT&T Stadium. The Trinity Railway Express connects to CentrePort/DFW Airport Station — about 3 miles north of the stadium — and from there, FIFA's World Cup shuttles will ferry fans in 2026, but for a Cowboys game, that transit chain is long and unreliable for a coordinated group.
Your realistic options are to drive, rideshare, or charter a bus. For a group of more than a handful of people, two of those three choices get expensive and complicated fast.
Here's the arithmetic that most groups don't run until they're already in the parking garage. Lot 4 — closest to the stadium — costs $75–$100 per car on a Cowboys Sunday. Send eight cars and you've committed $600–$800 in parking before anyone has touched a tailgate spread.
Then add the I-30 grind, the coordinated carpool texts, and the inevitable post-game rideshare surge where Uber quotes $90 a car from the Randol Mill Lot 15 zone. One Dallas charter bus or party bus rental replaces all of it: one vehicle, one flat rate split across the group, one bus parking pass in Lot 15 at roughly $150, and zero designated driver negotiations.
A Dallas bus rental to AT&T Stadium isn't just a convenience move — for groups above about 12 people, it's usually the cheaper math. Call 214-540-6746 and we'll run the numbers against your headcount so you can see it before you book.
Charter Bus Drop-Off at AT&T Stadium: Exactly Where to Go
Here's the part most transportation pages get vague about. AT&T Stadium's official bus and limousine drop-off zones are on the west side of the stadium, off Collins Street (FM 157). The published drop-off points include Entry A (north side), Entry F (southwest corner, Club & Suite access), and the designated West Bus drop-off area.
From any of those three points, your group is steps from the West Plaza entrances — Entries G, H, and J — which serve Reserved, Club, and Suite ticketholders. General admission entry is a short walk from the same side.
The west-side drop-off matters because Collins Street is where the stadium expects commercial vehicles. Buses that try to loop the north or east side on game day run into lane closures enforced by Arlington Police, who close roads in the stadium corridor about halfway through each event and do not allow vehicles to circle post-game. Your group needs to be at an agreed pickup spot before anyone splits off — the bus cannot orbit the building waiting for a text.
The one-line version: your bus drops your group on the west side off Collins Street — Entry A, Entry F, or the West Bus drop-off — and parks in Lot 15 until you're ready to leave. That is the published official routing for commercial vehicles at AT&T Stadium, and it keeps your group together and near the gate instead of a half-mile walk from a rideshare lot.
Lot 15 Bus Parking: What to Know Before You Book
After dropping your group, the bus waits in Lot 15, the designated bus and oversized vehicle parking area on the east perimeter of the complex. A bus parking pass is mandatory — this is not a show-up-and-park situation. Bus lot passes run approximately $150 for regular Cowboys games, pre-purchased through the stadium's official parking channels.
None are sold at the gate on arrival day.
For 2026 FIFA World Cup matches, that number climbs significantly. World Cup parking across all tiers is sold exclusively in advance through the official World Cup parking portal, and oversized vehicle pricing has been reported at $603 for the largest vehicle categories — a reflection of the nine-match schedule AT&T Stadium is hosting, the most of any venue in the tournament. When you book a Dallas charter bus to AT&T Stadium for a World Cup date, the bus parking pass is arranged through AT&T Stadium's official channels.
The math still works. A single bus parking pass replaces a parking pass for every car your group would have otherwise needed. Twelve cars at $75 each is $900 before anyone tailgated.
One bus parking pass at $150 is a fraction of that — and one person handles the coordination instead of twelve.
We recommend checking the official AT&T Stadium parking page and contacting Guest Services at 817-892-4161 to confirm the current bus lot pass price for your specific event before you finalize your booking.
The Drop-Off-and-Return Plan — Why You Need to Set It Before the Game Starts
Arlington Police enforce a hard policy: once the stadium goes into post-game exit mode, vehicles cannot circle the perimeter waiting for passengers. That means your group needs a pre-arranged pickup spot and time — decided before your bus parks in Lot 15, not in a post-game text chain. The three standard plans our groups use:
- Staged return: agree on the exact entry (Entry A or the West Bus drop-off) and a time window — say, 30 minutes after the final whistle. The bus returns from Lot 15 to the drop-off curb and your group assembles there.
- Bus stays close: for tailgating groups who want the bus to hold gear during the game, the bus stays in Lot 15 with the coolers and the extra gear stowed in undercarriage bays, then pulls to the designated curb at the agreed window.
- Flexible buffer: we build in a 45-minute post-game buffer on longer events — the bus is waiting in the lot and your group texts the coordinator when they've cleared the stadium and are walking to the west side.
Pick one before the bus parks. It prevents the post-game scramble that every rideshare user is already stuck in at Lot 15.
AT&T Stadium Transportation: Every Option for a Group
There's no light rail directly to the stadium, no free parking within walking distance, and no public bus that drops groups at the gates. Here's the honest comparison for someone organizing a crew of more than six people.
| Option | Cost shape | Arrive together? | Post-game exit | Tailgating possible? | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Charter bus or party bus | One flat rate split by the group | Yes — one vehicle, one arrival | Staged pickup at Entry A or West Bus drop-off | Yes — gear stows in undercarriage bays | 15–56 people |
| Everyone drives separately | Per-car parking ($25–$100 depending on lot) + gas | No — multiple ETAs, multiple lots | Individually, into the I-30 crawl | Yes, if you get there 5 hours early | 1–4 per car, very small groups |
| Rideshare (Uber / Lyft) | $40–$50 normal; $80–$150+ surge post-game | No — fragmented, multiple ETAs | Lot 15 pickup — 45+ min wait routine | No | Solo travelers or couples |
| TRE + World Cup shuttle | Per ticket; ~90 min total from downtown | Only if on the same train | Same return shuttle, timed to trains | No | World Cup matches only; individual travel |
| Minibus rental | One flat rate, smaller vehicle | Yes | Same staged-pickup plan as charter bus | Limited — overhead storage only | 12–35 people |
For one or two people heading to a game, a rideshare to the stadium and a TRE train from CentrePort on the way home can work. But the moment your party grows past two cars' worth of people, the coordination cost — multiple Ubers, the post-game surge, the "where did you park?" text chain — outweighs the per-head savings. That's where a Dallas party bus rental or charter bus rental earns its keep.
The TRE and World Cup Transit, Explained
For the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the Trinity Railway Express is running enhanced service specifically for match days. Fans board TRE trains from Victory Station in Downtown Dallas or Fort Worth Central Station and ride to CentrePort/DFW Airport Station, about three miles north of AT&T Stadium. From CentrePort, complimentary charter buses take match ticketholders to a bus hub north of the stadium — approximately a 10-minute walk from the gates.
Round-trip time from downtown Dallas is roughly 90 minutes each way, per Dallas FWC26's transportation page.
For a coordinated group, the transit chain requires everyone to catch the same train, then the same shuttle — which is fine if your group is small and flexible. For a 35-person corporate outing or a multi-generation family group at a World Cup semifinal, a private charter bus that runs your group directly from your hotel to the stadium and back is the cleaner arrangement. We'll be straight with you: transit is a reasonable individual option.
A private bus is a better group option.
What Size Bus Does Your Group Need?
AT&T Stadium holds 80,000 people on a Cowboys Sunday — your group isn't big by stadium standards, but it's probably bigger than any rideshare can handle in one trip. Here's how our fleet breaks down for a stadium run to Arlington.
| Vehicle | Typical seats | Gear / tailgate capacity | Best for | Key amenities |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14-passenger Sprinter limo / Sprinter van | Up to ~14 | Modest — coolers, bags, no bulky gear | Suite holders, VIP groups, small crew outings | Premium leather, USB charging, tinted windows |
| Party bus (15–50 passengers) | ~15–50 | Lighter — built for the ride, not heavy tailgate equipment | Fan groups who want the rolling pregame energy | Built-in bar, color-changing LED lighting, Bluetooth sound, flat-panel TVs, dance floor |
| 15–35 passenger minibus | ~15–35 | Good — overhead racks plus some underfloor space | Mid-size groups, office outings, church groups | Powerful A/C, plush reclining seats |
| 40–56 passenger charter bus | Up to 56 | Excellent — large undercarriage bays hold grills, coolers, folding tables | Large fan groups, corporate tailgates, school trips | Reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restroom, undercarriage bays |
Two things settle the vehicle question: your headcount and your tailgate gear. Fan groups who want the pregame energy built into the ride — a Dallas party bus with a sound system and LED lighting pulling away from Uptown with 30 people already in game-day mode — will pick a party bus. Groups hauling a full tailgate setup (two grills, a 60-quart cooler, folding chairs, and a pop-up tent) will want a full-size charter bus with the undercarriage bays to absorb it.
ADA-accessible vehicles are always available — just flag it when you request a quote so we can confirm the right fit.
Dallas Bus Rental Prices for AT&T Stadium Trips
Dallas Party Buses shows you all-inclusive pricing online in under 30 seconds — you know the exact number before you ever book. There's no single sticker price for a stadium run because the quote depends on a few clear factors: vehicle size, total hours (pickup through post-game return), your pickup location in DFW, and the date. A Cowboys regular-season Sunday prices differently from a World Cup semifinal Saturday.
For real ranges to anchor your estimate: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run $170–$344/hour; 15–20 passenger party buses run $204–$378/hour; 20–30 passenger party buses run $244–$414/hour; 35–50 passenger party buses and minibuses run $294–$490/hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day. Pricing depends on mileage, time of year, and vehicle type. The stadium's Lot 15 bus parking pass (~$150 for Cowboys games, higher for World Cup) is a separate cost you pre-purchase through AT&T Stadium's official channels.
Here's the number that usually closes the conversation. A 56-passenger charter bus for an 8-hour Cowboys game day, split 56 ways, works out to roughly $50–$65 per person all-inclusive — less than a Lot 4 parking pass for a single car. Call 214-540-6746 for an all-inclusive quote, or use our online tool for instant availability.
A Real Game-Day Example
For a Cowboys home game last November, a 42-person corporate group booked a 50-passenger party bus from Uptown Dallas. Pickup was at 10:00 AM from the parking structure at McKinney Avenue, arriving at the West Bus drop-off by 11:15 AM — four-and-a-half hours before a 3:25 PM kickoff. The bus waited in Lot 15.
The group tailgated in their designated space, walked in at 2:45 PM, and texted the coordinator at the final whistle. The bus was back at Entry A by 7:10 PM. The 9-hour all-inclusive rental came to $2,600 — about $62 per person, with the parking stress, the I-30 crawl, and the post-game surge all taken care of in a single number.
Getting to AT&T Stadium: Routes, Traffic, and Timing
AT&T Stadium sits in Arlington at the junction of I-30 and SH-360 — which sounds like a clean location until 80,000 people are trying to use the same two roads on the same afternoon. Here are the approximate distances and off-peak drive times from common DFW pickup points:
| From… | Approx. distance | Off-peak drive time | Game-day estimate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Uptown / Turtle Creek (Dallas) | ~19 miles | 25–30 minutes | 45–75 minutes via I-30 |
| Downtown Dallas / Deep Ellum | ~20 miles | 25–35 minutes | 50–80 minutes |
| DFW Airport | ~15 miles | 20–25 minutes via SH-360 | 35–55 minutes |
| Downtown Fort Worth | ~16 miles | 22–30 minutes via I-30 | 40–60 minutes |
| Plano / Frisco / McKinney | ~35–50 miles | 40–55 minutes via Dallas North Tollway to I-30 | 60–90 minutes |
| Las Colinas / Irving | ~10 miles | 15–20 minutes via SH-360 | 30–45 minutes |
The key route note: I-30 is the predictable bottleneck. Heavy inbound traffic along Stadium Drive and Collins Street begins approximately three hours before kickoff, and I-30 between Dallas and the stadium can back up well before that. SH-360 — looping from the north or south — is typically faster on game days than pushing straight west on I-30, especially for groups coming from DFW Airport, Las Colinas, or the northern suburbs.
For World Cup matches, road closures are substantially wider than anything during a Cowboys game: AT&T Way between Cowboys Way and Randol Mill Road is closed on match days, per KRLD's coverage of the FIFA closure plan, forcing stadium access through the East or West Plaza approaches only.
We build the game-day approach route into the booking — including the current closures for your specific event date — so your group doesn't arrive at a closed road wondering what changed. You just arrive.
Tailgating at AT&T Stadium: The Rules and What Changes for World Cup
A charter bus is the ideal tailgate vehicle for AT&T Stadium specifically, because the undercarriage bays absorb the setup — two grills, a folding table, a 60-quart cooler — without anyone renting a trailer or towing anything, which the stadium prohibits. But the rules are specific and worth knowing before your group starts loading the bus.
For Dallas Cowboys games, tailgating is permitted in Lots 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15, on a first-come basis. It is not permitted in Lot 3, portions of Lot 5, Lot 8, or Lot 9. Key rules from the stadium's published guidelines:
- One space, one setup. Maximum tailgate area is 9 feet wide by 12 feet deep, directly adjacent to the rear of your vehicle. No occupying an adjacent parking space for tents or equipment.
- Grills allowed, open flames prohibited. Gas and charcoal grills are permitted. Open flames, fryers, and cooking oils are not. Glass containers are not allowed anywhere in the lots.
- Nothing in tow. Vehicles may not enter the stadium grounds towing anything — grills, trailers, or generators. Gear rides in the bus's undercarriage bays.
- Lots open 5 hours before kickoff. For a 3:25 PM Sunday game, that's 10:25 AM. Early arrivals in premium lots (4–7) fill first.
- Tailgating is limited to grass perimeter areas in some lot sections — parking spaces themselves are for vehicles only.
For 2026 World Cup matches, the situation is more nuanced. Arlington officials confirmed tailgating will be permitted at AT&T Stadium for World Cup matches, countering early speculation of a full FIFA ban, per FOX 4's report on the clarified rules. However, expect a more controlled environment — heavier police presence, expanded road closures, and stricter enforcement of the space limits.
When you book a bus for a World Cup date, we'll confirm the current tailgating permissions for your specific match so your group doesn't show up with a setup that doesn't fit the rules.
What's Happening at AT&T Stadium in 2026
AT&T Stadium hosts more events per year than almost any venue in Texas, and each event type has its own logistics flavor. The group trips we handle most often in 2026:
- Dallas Cowboys 2026 NFL season. Home games run from August (preseason) through January, with the regular home slate including the Giants, Eagles, Commanders, Cardinals, Jaguars, 49ers, Buccaneers, and Titans. This is the single most common reason DFW groups rent a bus to Arlington — and September through December weekends fill our fleet first.
- 2026 FIFA World Cup. AT&T Stadium is the tournament's most active venue, hosting nine total matches — five group-stage games (June 14–27), two Round-of-32 fixtures (June 30 and July 3), a Round-of-16 (July 6), and the semifinal on July 14. For out-of-town groups and international fans flying into DFW, a private bus from the airport straight to the stadium and back is the cleanest single-vehicle option — no TRE transfer required.
- The R&B Tour: Usher Raymond & Chris Brown. Stadium-scale concert dates at AT&T Stadium in September 2026. Concert groups who want the pregame energy carried through the ride will love a party bus with LED lighting and sound — the show starts the moment the bus leaves the parking garage in Uptown.
- Ed Sheeran and Zach Bryan round out the 2026 concert calendar. For large concert groups, the parking math is identical to a Cowboys game — Lot 15 bus parking, west-side drop-off, staged return after the show.
For Cowboys games and concerts, booking 4–6 weeks out is generally workable. For World Cup matches — especially the July 14 semifinal — book as soon as your tickets are confirmed. The semifinal is the single highest-demand transportation date in North Texas in 2026, and the right-size vehicles go first.
Don't call us a week before that one. Call 214-540-6746 now.
Trip Types We Coordinate to AT&T Stadium
Different groups, same goal: everyone arrives together and leaves without the post-game parking headache. The most common runs we coordinate:
- Cowboys fan groups and tailgaters: Large fan groups where the game-day energy builds in the bus before the bus ever parks in Lot 15 — LED lighting, built-in bar, the whole setup. The tailgate starts at pickup, not in the lot.
- Corporate outings and suite groups: Move clients and employees from offices in Las Colinas, Plano, or Downtown Dallas to the suite level without anyone navigating the Collins Street closure on their own. See our Dallas corporate event transportation service.
- World Cup international groups: Out-of-town fans flying into DFW Airport who need a direct, one-vehicle trip to the stadium and back to the hotel — no TRE connection required. We handle this through our Dallas airport transportation service.
- Concert groups: Stadium-scale shows where Collins Street fills up two hours before doors — a charter bus drops your group at Entry A and waits in Lot 15, ready for pickup when the last song ends.
- Bachelorette and birthday groups: A Cowboys game that doubles as a celebration, with the party built into the ride itself. Our Dallas party bus fleet handles exactly this — the group is already having fun when the bus pulls into Lot 15.
- School and youth groups: Field trips to AT&T Stadium's stadium tour or youth events — climate-controlled cabin, reclining seats, and undercarriage storage for gear. ADA-accessible vehicles are always available with advance notice.
Leaving AT&T Stadium After the Game
The post-game exit is where the rideshare math falls apart. When 80,000 fans pour out at once, Lot 15 — the designated rideshare pickup zone — fills with cars trying to find passengers and passengers trying to find cars, and the Randol Mill Road entrance backs up against the I-30 frontage. Uber and Lyft surge pricing post-game is routine; wait times of 45 minutes or longer are common.
The I-30 eastbound on-ramp at Collins Street is single-file at best for the first hour after final whistle.
With a bus, you skip the scramble. The bus is waiting in Lot 15 during the game. You set the post-game pickup window — Entry A or the West Bus drop-off — before you walk in.
When the final whistle blows and your group clears the stadium, you walk to the agreed spot and the bus is right there. The group recaps the game while the bus rolls through the lot exit and SH-360 southbound — while everyone else is still standing in the rideshare queue. That single fact, repeated by every group who's done it both ways, is why regulars to AT&T Stadium don't go back to rideshares once they've done it by bus.
Game-Day Tips for AT&T Stadium Groups
A few things worth knowing before your group arrives, pulled directly from the stadium's published policies:
- All parking requires pre-purchased passes — nothing is sold day-of at most lots. Bus lot passes in Lot 15 must be bought in advance through AT&T Stadium's official channels. The same is true for World Cup parking, which is sold only through the designated official portal. There is no showing up and paying at a bus lot gate.
- Clear bag policy is enforced at every entry. Per AT&T Stadium's published policy, each guest may bring one clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag no larger than 12″ × 6″ × 12″, or a one-gallon clear resealable freezer bag. Small clutch purses no larger than 4.5″ × 6.5″ are allowed. Medical and diaper bags are permitted but inspected. Backpacks and large bags are prohibited. AT&T Stadium does not offer bag check service. See the official A-Z Guide for the full list of prohibited items.
- All vehicles go through a security inspection before entering the parking lots. Build this into your pre-game timeline — a bus with 40 people takes longer to clear than a single car.
- Lots open 5 hours before Cowboys kickoff. For a full tailgate in Lot 15, that means a 10 AM departure from Dallas for a 3 PM game is tight. Groups who want real tailgate time should plan for an 8–9 AM pickup.
- For World Cup matches, arrive 3–4 hours early. Road closures around AT&T Way and Collins Street are wider and enforced earlier than anything during a Cowboys game. The bus approach route changes with each match — we confirm it when you book.
- No towing. Vehicles entering the stadium grounds cannot tow anything. All tailgate gear travels in the bus's undercarriage bays.
Coming from Out of Town? Airports, Hotels, and the World Cup
For World Cup groups, a significant portion of the crowd is flying in — and the two airports that serve DFW for stadium access are not equally convenient. DFW Airport is approximately 15 miles from AT&T Stadium via SH-360 South, making it the closest major airport and the practical choice for groups specifically planning World Cup travel. Dallas Love Field is 22 miles east, manageable but a longer haul in match-day traffic.
Either way, a private bus rental handles the airport-to-stadium leg cleanly — one vehicle picks up your group at baggage claim and goes straight to the west-side drop-off, skipping the TRE connection entirely.
For hotel blocks near the stadium, the Entertainment District hotels (Loews Arlington, Live! by Loews, and the Hilton Arlington) are walking distance — though most of the larger DFW group hotel blocks for World Cup are in Dallas proper, Las Colinas, or near DFW Airport, all of which are reasonable charter bus origins. Tell us your hotel address when you request a quote and we'll build the route from there.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly does a charter bus drop off at AT&T Stadium?
Charter buses and commercial vehicles drop off on the west side of the stadium, off Collins Street (FM 157). The designated bus drop-off points are Entry A (north side), Entry F (southwest corner, Club & Suite area), and the West Bus drop-off zone. From any of these points, your group has direct pedestrian access to the West Plaza entries (G, H, J) and a short walk to general admission gates.
Where does the bus park during the game?
Bus parking is in a designated portion of Lot 15, on the east perimeter of the stadium complex. A bus parking pass is mandatory and must be purchased in advance through AT&T Stadium's official channels — approximately $150 for regular Cowboys games. For 2026 World Cup matches, the cost is significantly higher.
There is no day-of bus parking sold at the gate. Contact Guest Services at 817-892-4161 to confirm pricing and purchase for your specific event.
How much does it cost to rent a bus to AT&T Stadium?
Pricing depends on your vehicle size, total hours (pickup through post-game return), pickup location, and event date. For reference: Sprinter limos (up to 14 passengers) run $170–$344/hour; party buses (15–20 passengers) run $204–$378/hour; mid-size party buses (20–30 passengers) run $244–$414/hour; large party buses and minibuses (35–50 passengers) run $294–$490/hour; and full-size charter buses (40–56 passengers) run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day. The Lot 15 bus parking pass is pre-purchased through the venue.
Call 214-540-6746 for an all-inclusive quote with no hidden costs.
What roads close around AT&T Stadium on game days?
For Cowboys games, Arlington Police close roads in the stadium corridor approximately halfway through events — vehicles cannot circle post-game. For World Cup 2026 matches, AT&T Way between Cowboys Way and Randol Mill Road is closed, forcing all stadium access through the East or West Plaza approaches. Closures on match days are substantially wider than anything during a regular Cowboys game.
We confirm the current approach route for your specific event date when you book.
Can we tailgate at AT&T Stadium with a charter bus group?
Yes, for Cowboys games — tailgating is permitted in Lots 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15. Gas and charcoal grills are allowed, open flames and fryers are not. Your tailgate setup must stay within a 9-foot by 12-foot space directly behind your vehicle — no occupying adjacent spots.
No glass containers. No vehicles towing anything (gear travels in the bus's undercarriage bays). Lots open 5 hours before kickoff.
For World Cup matches, tailgating has been confirmed as permitted, but with a more controlled enforcement environment. We confirm what's current for your date when you book.
What's the bag policy at AT&T Stadium?
One clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag per person, no larger than 12″ × 6″ × 12″ (or a one-gallon clear resealable bag), plus a small clutch no larger than 4.5″ × 6.5″. Medical and diaper bags are permitted but inspected. Backpacks, large bags, and non-clear bags are prohibited.
AT&T Stadium does not offer bag check. Full details at the AT&T Stadium A-Z Guide.
Can the bus wait for us during the game?
Yes. The bus is booked as a block of hours, so it waits in Lot 15 during the game with your tailgate gear in the undercarriage bays and returns to the agreed drop-off point — Entry A or the West Bus drop-off — at your pre-arranged pickup window. Set that window before the game starts; Arlington Police do not allow vehicles to circle post-game.
Is there a train to AT&T Stadium?
Not directly. For the 2026 World Cup, Trinity Railway Express (TRE) trains run from Victory Station (Dallas) and Fort Worth Central Station to CentrePort/DFW Airport Station, where complimentary FIFA shuttles take match ticketholders to the bus hub north of the stadium — about a 10-minute walk from the gates, with a total downtown-to-stadium travel time of roughly 90 minutes. For Cowboys games and concerts, there is no direct transit to the stadium from Dallas or Fort Worth.
A private charter bus is the only option that takes your whole group from a single pickup point to the stadium gate with no transfers.
What's the closest airport to AT&T Stadium?
DFW Airport is the closest major airport, approximately 15 miles north via SH-360 South — a 20–25 minute drive off-peak, longer on match days. Dallas Love Field is about 22 miles east and works for groups flying Southwest. Either way, one bus picks up your group at baggage claim and goes straight to AT&T Stadium's west-side drop-off with no rideshare coordination required.
Do you have ADA-accessible buses?
Yes — ADA-accessible vehicles are always available. Let us know your needs when you request a quote and we'll confirm the right vehicle. Please give us advance notice so we can plan accordingly.
How far in advance should we book for a World Cup match?
As early as your tickets are confirmed. The July 14 semifinal is the highest-demand transportation date in North Texas in 2026 — the right-size vehicles go first, and waiting until three weeks out is a real availability risk. For regular Cowboys games and concerts, 3–6 weeks of lead time is workable, but the earlier you call, the better your options.
Call 214-540-6746 now to lock in your date.
