Here's the moment every Fort Worth fan who drove to a Cowboys game knows by heart: brake lights stacked down I-30 from downtown Arlington all the way to the Collins Street exit, the kickoff clock ticking, and 80,000 other fans competing for the same Blue Lots on Cowboys Way. AT&T Stadium (1 AT&T Way, Arlington, TX 76011) is the largest domed stadium in the world by interior volume — and on any given Cowboys Sunday, it fills completely. The stadium has no light-rail connection directly to its gates.

Rideshare pickups are directed to Lot 15 off Randol Mill Road, and Arlington Police shut down the roads surrounding the stadium about halfway through every event, which means rideshare vehicles cannot legally circulate once that happens. They park and wait. Your group waits with them.

Renting a bus to AT&T Stadium doesn't just skip the parking puzzle; it replaces the whole game-day logistics problem with a single, predictable arrangement — pickup in Fort Worth, drop-off at the stadium's designated bus zone, and a staged bus waiting when the final whistle blows.

This guide answers the real questions for every group planning a trip to AT&T Stadium: where exactly does a charter bus or party bus drop your group, where does the bus park, what does the parking pass cost, and what roads close post-game that will strand a rideshare for 45 minutes. Every detail below comes from AT&T Stadium's own published policies and verified official sources.

AT&T Stadium at 1 AT&T Way in Arlington — midpoint between Fort Worth and Dallas, home to the Cowboys, the Cotton Bowl Classic, the Big 12 Championship, and one of the most demanding game-day parking situations in the NFL.

Why Fort Worth Groups Rent a Bus to AT&T Stadium

AT&T Stadium sits in Arlington's Entertainment District, about 15 miles east of downtown Fort Worth on I-30 — close enough that the drive feels routine, and far enough that game-day traffic on the same stretch turns a 25-minute drive into a 90-minute crawl. The stadium holds 80,000 fans for Cowboys games, and Arlington has no municipal heavy rail stop at the stadium's front door. Every single person arriving by car — whether from Fort Worth, Dallas, Burleson, or North Richland Hills — funnels onto the same I-30 corridor into Arlington.

The stadium has approximately 12,000 spaces across 15 numbered lots, plus an additional 12,000 spaces in lettered lots near Globe Life Field, but all of them require pre-purchased passes. For Cowboys games, premium Blue Lots run $75–$100 per car, mid-range Silver Lots run $50–$60, and Economy Lots including Lot 15 run $25–$35. None of those are sold at the gate on game day — you buy in advance, or you don't park.

One bus changes the whole math. Your group boards in Fort Worth, the I-30 miles go by without anyone watching the parking lot countdown on their phone, and the bus delivers your group to the stadium's designated passenger drop-off zonesLot 1 on the north side off Randol Mill Road, or Lot 6 on the south side off Cowboys Way — with the bus itself staging in Lot 15. After the game, the bus is right there.

No surge-priced rideshare stuck in the Randol Mill one-way flow. No 30-person group trying to coordinate three separate apps in a dark parking lot. A Fort Worth party bus or charter bus rental to AT&T Stadium handles pickup, drop-off, staging, and the ride home for one flat number split across everyone who came.

That's what makes it worth doing, and it's why Fort Worth sporting event transportation runs to AT&T Stadium more than any other venue on this site.

Charter Bus and Party Bus Drop-Off at AT&T Stadium

The official AT&T Stadium parking page lists two designated passenger drop-off zones: Lot 1 on the north side of Randol Mill Road, and Lot 6 on the south side off Cowboys Way. For large buses — charter buses and minibuses — the stadium directs vehicles to the west side of the building for group drop-off, separate from the smaller vehicle passenger zones. That's the key operational distinction: a charter bus or party bus drops your group on the west side, while personal vehicles and rideshares use the Lot 1 or Lot 6 passenger areas.

One critical detail directly from the stadium's own guidance: post-event, passenger drop-off zones are not accessible for pickup. Vehicles must clear the area once the group is unloaded. That means any plan built around "just call a rideshare when you walk out" runs straight into the police-managed post-game traffic closure — rideshares cannot legally circulate to reach those drop zones after the game ends.

A pre-arranged bus staged in Lot 15 is the only setup where the vehicle is guaranteed to be in place and ready when your group exits. The specific approach route and drop zone for your event date is confirmed as part of the booking — it can shift for very large events like the Cotton Bowl, the Big 12 Championship, or major stadium concerts where additional road closures apply.

Fort Worth to AT&T Stadium via I-30 East — about 15 miles, a 25-minute off-peak drive that easily triples on Cowboys game days. On a bus, that stretch through Arlington belongs to someone else.

Bus Parking at AT&T Stadium — Lot 15 and the Advance Permit Requirement

Bus parking at AT&T Stadium is located in the designated portion of Lot 15, per the stadium's published parking page. A bus parking pass is required and must be purchased in advance — no day-of bus permits are sold at the lot. The published bus parking rate is $100.

Lot 15 is also the stadium's designated rideshare zone for Cowboys games, positioned off Randol Mill Road at Webb Street, so it handles multiple arriving vehicle types — and your bus's advance permit secures its spot in the designated bus section before anyone else shows up.

That $100 permit is one line item covering one vehicle of any size. Compare that to driving: Blue Lots alone run $75–$100 per car, and a group that fills 10 cars is spending $750–$1,000 just to park — before anyone accounts for gas, the I-30 TEXpress toll lanes (which price dynamically on game days), or the designated-driver problem. One bus collapses a 10-car caravan into a single flat permit and keeps 40 or 50 people on the same departure plan going home.

The permit, the lot assignment, and the confirmed approach route for your specific event date are all arranged as part of the quote. Check the official AT&T Stadium parking page for current policies before your event.

Bus parking at AT&T Stadium is in Lot 15, and a $100 advance permit is required — no day-of bus parking is sold at the gate. One permit replaces a fleet of individual car passes and keeps your entire group on one coordinated arrival and departure plan instead of eight separate ones.

Post-Game Pickup — The Road Closures and the Window to Beat Them

Leaving AT&T Stadium after the game is where most transportation plans fall apart, and knowing what actually happens on the ground changes how you plan. About halfway through every event, Arlington Police implement traffic management around the stadium — Cowboys Way and AT&T Way are managed with mandatory turn restrictions, blocked intersections, and altered signal phases that force one-way traffic flows away from the stadium footprint. GPS apps and Waze become unreliable the moment enforcement begins; they will route you into closed blockades.

A rideshare vehicle cannot circle the stadium looking for your group — it parks at a fixed location in Lot 15, and your group walks to it through the same post-game pedestrian traffic everyone else is fighting.

With a pre-arranged charter bus or party bus staged in Lot 15, none of that is your problem. The bus has a valid permit, your group has a confirmed pickup time and meeting point arranged before kickoff, and the bus takes the first cleared route back toward I-30 once pedestrian traffic moves through the lot. Your group boards, recaps the game, and rides west toward Fort Worth while the I-30 gridlock still clears — no garage hunt, no two-minute rideshare ETA that becomes 25 minutes.

AT&T Stadium Transportation Options Compared

AT&T Stadium sits in suburban Arlington with no light-rail stop at the gates — every option involves a trade-off. Here's an honest look at how the main choices stack up for a group, scored on what actually matters on game day:

OptionCost shapeArrive together?Drop-off pointPost-game pickupBest group size
Charter bus or party busOne flat rate, split by the groupYes — one vehicle, one arrivalWest-side bus drop-off; Lot 1 (north) or Lot 6 (south) for passengersBus staged at Lot 15 with advance permit, right there when you exit15–56
Self-drive + stadium parking$25–$100 per car, pre-purchased onlyNo — carpools split, different arrivalsVaries by lot; Gates A–H correspond to lot zonesStuck in police-managed post-game one-way traffic flow1–2 cars
Rideshare (Uber/Lyft)Per car each way + post-game surgeNo — multiple ETAs, multiple vehiclesLot 15, then walk to the gatesCannot circulate post-game; picks up at Lot 15 only; surge pricing and long waits1–4 per car
TRE train + charter bus shuttlePer-ticket train + complimentary bus from CentrePort (World Cup); standard schedule for Cowboys gamesOnly if traveling together on same trainBus hub north of stadium, then ~10-minute walkMust catch scheduled return train; no group controlAny size, but no group coordination
Third-party lot + walk$20–$30 cash on Randol Mill, Division, or CollinsNo — everyone parks separatelyWalk 12–18 minutes to the gatesWalk back to lot, then join I-30 post-game gridlock with everyone else1–2 cars

For one or two people, a third-party lot on Randol Mill Road or a rideshare with a short walk can be the budget-smart call. But the moment your group fills more than two or three cars' worth of people — different departure windows, separate parking scrambles, and at least one person who can't drink because they're driving — the math tips clearly toward one bus. That's who the rest of this guide is written for.

TRE Train from Fort Worth Central Station

Trinity Railway Express. The TRE connects Fort Worth Central Station to CentrePort/DFW Airport Station, which sits roughly 1.5 miles from AT&T Stadium. From CentrePort, charter buses ferry fans to a bus hub north of the stadium, where a roughly 10-minute walk covers the remaining distance to the gates.

During the 2026 FIFA World Cup — when AT&T Stadium hosted nine matches from June 14 through July 14 — more than 40,000 fans rode charter buses between CentrePort Station and the stadium, with approximately 30,000 of those arriving at CentrePort via TRE, per the Texas Rail Advocates post-tournament report. For Cowboys games and standard events, the TRE runs on its regular Monday–Saturday schedule, with no Sunday service on the standard timetable — check the Trinity Railway Express website for current schedules and fares. A private charter bus or party bus rental from Fort Worth eliminates the transfer at CentrePort, the wait for the next bus to the hub, and the 10-minute walk at the far end — the whole group stays together, door to door.

CentrePort/DFW Airport Station to AT&T Stadium — the final leg that still requires a charter bus or shuttle to the hub, then a 10-minute walk to the gates. During the 2026 World Cup, this connection moved 40,000+ fans. A private bus from Fort Worth skips the transfer entirely.

Charter Bus and Party Bus Options for AT&T Stadium Groups

Not every group going to AT&T Stadium needs the same vehicle — a 12-person suite outing has different priorities than a 50-person fan club rolling in from the Stockyards. Fortworthpartybus.net connects you to a large network of bus companies serving Fort Worth and the DFW area so your group rides comfortable without paying for seats nobody uses. Here's how the full vehicle lineup breaks down for a Cowboys game or stadium event run:

VehicleTypical seatsGear storageBest forKey amenities
14-passenger Sprinter limo / Sprinter vanUp to 14Modest — bags, small coolersVIP suite groups, small group, executive outingsPremium leather, USB charging, tinted privacy windows, individual climate control
25-passenger party bus~25Onboard; lighter on undercarriageFan groups wanting the rolling pregame experienceBuilt-in bar area, color-changing LED lighting, premium Bluetooth sound, flat-panel TVs, dance area
15–35 passenger minibus~15–35Overhead bins + some underfloor baysMid-size groups, corporate outings, college fan groupsPowerful A/C, plush reclining seats — greater maneuverability on tight game-day streets than a full coach
40–56 passenger charter busUp to 56Excellent — deep undercarriage baysLarge fan groups, organized tailgate groups, company outingsReclining seats, climate control, overhead storage, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restrooms, undercarriage luggage bays

For groups hauling grills, folding tables, and a full cooler setup, the deep undercarriage bays on a full-size charter bus carry all of it without anyone strapping things to a roof rack or dragging a cart across hot Texas asphalt. For groups of 20–30 where the pregame ride itself is part of the event — the rolling tailgate from Fort Worth — a 25-passenger party bus typically features LED lighting, a built-in bar setup, and premium sound to keep the energy up from the moment the group loads. ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the network — just note your needs in the quote request and the right vehicle can be arranged.

AT&T Stadium Party Bus and Charter Bus Rental Prices

Pricing for party bus and charter bus rentals to AT&T Stadium depends on vehicle size, how many hours you need the bus, the event date, and your pickup origin in Fort Worth or the surrounding area. To give you a sense of planning ranges: a 15–35 passenger minibus runs roughly $200–$275 per hour on weekends; a 25-passenger party bus runs approximately $275–$375 per hour on weekends; a full-size charter bus for a larger group typically runs about $200–$350 per hour. Rates move with demand — a Cowboys vs. Eagles Thanksgiving game prices at the top of the range, while a preseason or mid-week concert event may come in lower.

Pricing for your specific date and group takes about 30 seconds to generate through the online tool or by calling 469-747-0001.

Once you divide one bus across 40 or 50 people, the per-head math usually beats driving. Blue Lot parking runs $75–$100 per car — so 10 cars alone is $750–$1,000 in parking before gas, tolls, or the post-game designated-driver math. The bus parking permit at Lot 15 is one flat $100, not $100 per vehicle.

A 50-person group on a charter bus split that permit across 50 people at $2 per head versus $75–$100 per car for every vehicle in the caravan. The Fort Worth party bus prices page has more planning ranges by vehicle type.

A Game-Day Example

To give you an idea of how a game-day run actually works: a 42-person fan group books a 50-passenger party bus for a Cowboys home game against a divisional rival. Pickup at 1:00 PM from a hotel near the Fort Worth Stockyards, at the AT&T Stadium west-side bus drop by 2:30 PM — three hours before kickoff. The undercarriage bays hold two gas grills, a folding table, and a pair of 50-quart coolers.

The group tailgates through 4:30 PM, walks to the gates, and the bus is staged in Lot 15 with a pre-purchased permit for a 9:45 PM pickup after the final whistle. An eight-hour rental at that size might run around $2,600 — about $62 per person — with the I-30 approach, the $100 bus parking pass, the post-game wait, and the ride back all included in one number.

Fort Worth to AT&T Stadium: Routes, Traffic, and Timing

AT&T Stadium is approximately 15 miles east of downtown Fort Worth via I-30 — 20–30 minutes off-peak. On a Cowboys Sunday or major concert night, that same stretch runs 60–90 minutes from the point where I-30 enters Arlington. Approximate off-peak travel times from common Fort Worth-area pickup points:

From…Approx. distanceTypical off-peak drive time
Downtown Fort Worth~15 miles20–28 minutes
Fort Worth Stockyards~18 miles26–36 minutes
North Richland Hills~22 miles28–38 minutes
Burleson / Mansfield~20 miles25–35 minutes
DFW Airport (CentrePort)~8 miles12–18 minutes
Downtown Dallas~20 miles25–35 minutes

Those times roughly double — or worse — on major event days. I-30's TEXpress managed toll lanes offer a faster alternative, but dynamic pricing peaks exactly when every fan is on the highway, so expect the highest toll rates of the week in the two hours before kickoff. For groups using standard exits, Exit 28A (Collins Street) and Exit 27 (Ballpark Way) are the primary stadium approaches from I-30 East.

Arlington Police manage post-game traffic with mandatory turn restrictions and physically blocked intersections; GPS apps lose their reliability the moment enforcement begins, routing cars into closed lanes. One bus sidesteps all of it — the approach route is confirmed in advance, and nobody is white-knuckling a navigation app through an Arlington Police barricade.

Downtown Fort Worth to AT&T Stadium via I-30 East — 15 miles that run smoothly off-peak and become one of the DFW area's most frustrating stretches when 80,000 fans and every Arlington neighborhood commuter converge on the same highway at kickoff time.

The upside of renting a bus: none of that traffic drama is your problem. The approach route is handled for your event date, the tailgate and post-game wait time are factored into the booking, and the bus exits via the fastest cleared road. Your group rides back toward Fort Worth while the I-30 lot is still emptying — no circling, no wrong turns on a closed Cowboys Way, no regrouping in a dark parking structure.

Tailgating at AT&T Stadium: What the Stadium Actually Allows

Tailgating is a core reason groups book a full-size charter bus to AT&T Stadium — the undercarriage bays carry everything that would otherwise fill a truck bed and a trailer. The stadium's published rules set the exact boundaries for what's allowed, and knowing them before you arrive keeps your group out of trouble with parking staff. Straight from the stadium's official parking policies:

Tailgating is permitted from lot open time (five hours before Cowboys games) and up to two hours after the final gun for Cowboys and college football games. Designated tailgating lots are Lots 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15. Each group is limited to a maximum space of 9 feet wide and 12 feet deep directly behind the vehicle — no spreading into adjacent spots, no saving spaces for friends, and parking staff will not allow a group to hold neighboring spots by blocking them with chairs or cones.

Charcoal and gas grills are permitted; deep fryers and open flames (wood fires, bonfires) are prohibited. Amplified sound systems are banned from all lots. And because AT&T Stadium is entirely cashless — every concession, parking, and retail transaction inside the stadium and throughout all lots requires a card or mobile payment — there's no reason to bring cash expecting to use it in the lots or at a gate.

One important logistical note for bus groups: vehicles cannot enter stadium grounds while towing anything — so grills, trailers, and oversized equipment rigs must ride in the undercarriage bays, not hitched behind the bus. That's exactly where they should be. For the biggest events — the Cotton Bowl, the Big 12 Championship, major stadium concerts — the tailgating policy can tighten.

What's permitted for your specific date is confirmed as part of the booking.

What's Happening at AT&T Stadium in 2026 and 2027

AT&T Stadium runs year-round, and the events that pack the lots hardest are exactly when renting a bus makes the most logistical sense. The dates drawing the most bus rental requests from Fort Worth groups for the rest of 2026 and into 2027, per the official AT&T Stadium events calendar:

  • Dallas Cowboys 2026 season. The Cowboys open preseason against the New Orleans Saints on August 28, with the regular-season home slate running from September 20 (Washington Commanders) through November 26 (Philadelphia Eagles, Thanksgiving) and December 27 (Jacksonville Jaguars). Cowboys home games — especially divisional matchups and the Thanksgiving game — are the single most common AT&T Stadium bus rental request from Fort Worth, and vehicles for Thanksgiving and late-season NFC East games go early. See the Dallas Cowboys official game day guide for current stadium policies before each game.
  • Zach Bryan — With Heaven On Tour. August 22, 2026 — among the first stadium-scale events of the Cowboys season window. Concerts at AT&T Stadium see the same road closures as NFL games, and a Fort Worth concert party bus rental keeps the group together from pickup to post-show.
  • Usher and Chris Brown — The R&B Tour. Three nights: September 10, 12, and 13, 2026. Three consecutive dates at the same stadium means the lot and road management patterns repeat — but book the bus for each night separately, as availability is independent per date.
  • Karol G — Tropitour. October 15, 2026. Stadium-capacity Latin pop draw; Collins Street and Cowboys Way see the same event-day closures as any NFL Sunday.
  • Ed Sheeran — LOOP Tour. October 24, 2026. Stadium-level demand on a weekday; weekend-level prices for vehicle availability.
  • Monster Jam. October 3, 2026 — family-group audience, different profile than the NFL calendar, but the same parking and road logistics apply.
  • Big 12 Football Championship. December 4, 2026 — one of the stadium's marquee annual college football events. Blue Lots and access roads fill as fast as a Cowboys playoff game.
  • 91st Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic. January 1, 2027 — a New Year's Day game that draws from across Texas and beyond. Book well ahead of the holiday; this is one of the most heavily requested AT&T Stadium bus runs each year.
  • 2027 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series. February 20, 2027 — Dallas Stars vs. Vegas Golden Knights. Outdoor hockey at AT&T Stadium draws a different fan base and a festival-style atmosphere; the bus logistics mirror any other stadium event.
  • Luke Combs — My Kinda Saturday Night Tour. April 3, 2027. Country stadium draw with a Fort Worth-skewing audience.

For peak-demand events — Cowboys Thanksgiving, both Cotton Bowl weekends, and major multi-night concerts — vehicles through the Fortworthpartybus.net network go quickly. Call 469-747-0001 as soon as your date is confirmed.

What Every Group Should Know Before Arriving at AT&T Stadium

A few things that catch first-timers off guard, straight from the stadium's own A-to-Z Guide and published policies:

  • Mobile tickets only. All entry at AT&T Stadium requires mobile tickets through the official Dallas Cowboys app. Screenshots and PDFs are not accepted at any gate. Have every person in your group download the app and load their ticket before the group boards in Fort Worth — sorting out app issues in a dark Lot 15 at 7:00 PM while 80,000 people move through the gates is not the time to troubleshoot.
  • Clear bag required. Per the official AT&T Stadium bag policy, each guest may carry one clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag no larger than 12" x 6" x 12" (or a one-gallon clear ziplock), plus a small clutch no larger than 4.5" x 6.5". Backpacks, fanny packs, camera bags, and any non-clear containers are prohibited. Non-compliant bags can be stored at The Mobile Locker Company — for Cowboys games, storage is available in Silver Lot 5 and Blue Lot 9 for a fee. There is no bag check at the stadium gates themselves.
  • Entirely cashless. Every food, beverage, parking, and retail transaction inside the stadium and throughout all stadium lots is cashless — card or mobile payment only. Plan accordingly before you leave the bus.
  • No outside beverages. Bottles, cans, and beverage containers of any kind are not permitted through the stadium gates. Confirm the current outside food policy in the A-to-Z Guide before your event date, as exceptions can vary by event type.
  • Residential neighborhood towing. Arlington enforces no-parking ordinances in the Stadium West, Roosevelt, and Woodbrook residential zones during Cowboys home games and high-profile events. Violations result in towing — not just a ticket — and the signs flip open the morning of the event. Third-party lots on Division Street, Randol Mill Road, and Collins Street are the legitimate off-site option at $20–$30 cash (the one cash transaction that actually happens near the stadium, outside the lots).
  • Lots open five hours before Cowboys kickoff. For major concerts and non-Cowboys events, lot opening times vary — check the event-specific information on the AT&T Stadium site before departure.
  • ADA access. The stadium offers accessible parking, designated ADA vehicle drop-off and pickup zones, power-assisted entry doors, accessible restrooms and concessions, and accessible seating. Guest Services is available at booths behind Sections 219, 244, 420, and 451, or by phone at (817) 892-4161. ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the Fortworthpartybus.net network — note your needs in the quote request and the right bus can be arranged.

Frequently Asked Questions About Renting a Bus to AT&T Stadium

Where exactly does a charter bus drop off at AT&T Stadium?

Large buses use the west side of AT&T Stadium for group drop-off, per the stadium's published guidance. Passenger vehicles (including rideshares) use Lot 1 on the north side off Randol Mill Road, or Lot 6 on the south side off Cowboys Way. Those passenger drop-off zones are not accessible for post-event pickup — vehicles must clear the area once the group is unloaded.

The bus stages in Lot 15 and your group meets it there after the game. The exact approach route and drop zone for your event are confirmed when you request your quote through Fortworthpartybus.net.

Where do buses park at AT&T Stadium?

Bus parking is in the designated portion of Lot 15, per the official AT&T Stadium parking page. A bus parking pass is required and must be purchased in advance — no day-of bus permits are sold at the lot. The published bus parking rate is $100.

Lot 15 is also the stadium's designated rideshare zone for Cowboys games, located off Randol Mill Road at Webb Street.

How much does it cost to rent a bus or party bus to AT&T Stadium from Fort Worth?

Pricing varies by vehicle size, total hours needed (including pregame tailgate time and the post-game wait), event date, and pickup location. To give you a planning range: a 15–35 passenger minibus runs about $200–$275/hour on weekends; a 25-passenger party bus runs roughly $275–$375/hour; a full-size charter bus runs approximately $200–$350/hour. Split across 40 or 50 people, the per-head cost often beats the individual car parking math on a big game day.

Call 469-747-0001 or use the online quote tool — pricing for your specific trip in under 30 seconds, no account required.

What road closures should groups expect near AT&T Stadium on game days?

About halfway through every event, Arlington Police implement traffic management on Cowboys Way and AT&T Way in the stadium footprint, with mandatory turn restrictions, blocked intersections, and altered signal phases. GPS apps lose their reliability as soon as enforcement begins — they route cars into blockades. The pattern holds for Cowboys games, major concerts, and annual events like the Cotton Bowl and Big 12 Championship.

Because the exact approach route for a bus is confirmed at booking and adjusted by event, the right road is taken for your specific date. Always check current road-closure advisories on the official parking page before your event.

Does a charter bus need its own parking permit at AT&T Stadium?

Yes. Bus parking in Lot 15 requires a separate pre-purchased bus parking pass at a published rate of $100. That permit must be secured in advance — no walk-up bus permits are sold at the lot gate.

The permit, lot routing, and confirmed approach for your event date are all arranged as part of the quote process.

Can a group tailgate at AT&T Stadium if they came by charter bus?

Yes, for Cowboys games and most events. Tailgating is permitted in Lots 4–7 and 10–15 from lot open time and up to two hours post-game for Cowboys and college football games. Each group is limited to a 9'×12' space directly behind the vehicle.

Charcoal and gas grills are allowed; deep fryers and open flames are not. Vehicles cannot enter the grounds while towing anything — gear rides in the bus's undercarriage bays. For major non-Cowboys events like the Cotton Bowl or large concerts, tailgating policies can vary — what's allowed for your date is confirmed at booking.

What is the bag policy at AT&T Stadium?

Each guest may carry one clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag no larger than 12" x 6" x 12" (or a one-gallon clear ziplock), plus a small clutch no larger than 4.5" x 6.5". Backpacks, fanny packs, and non-clear bags are prohibited. Bag storage is available through The Mobile Locker Company in Silver Lot 5 and Blue Lot 9 for Cowboys games (fee applies) — no bag check at the gates.

See the official bag policy page before your event, as some event-specific rules apply.

Can a group arriving by bus from Fort Worth use the TRE instead?

The TRE connects Fort Worth Central Station to CentrePort/DFW Airport Station, which is about 1.5 miles from AT&T Stadium. From CentrePort, fans take charter bus shuttles to a bus hub north of the stadium and walk roughly 10 minutes to the gates. The TRE runs Monday through Saturday on a standard schedule — no Sunday service on the regular timetable, which rules it out for most Cowboys home games.

Check the TRE website for current schedules and any event-day enhancements. A private charter bus from Fort Worth skips the transfer at CentrePort, the walk from the bus hub, and the dependency on train departure times — everyone boards together in Fort Worth and steps off at the stadium.

How far in advance should a group book a bus to AT&T Stadium?

For regular Cowboys home games and most events, two to four weeks of lead time is workable — but the earlier you request, the better the vehicle selection. For high-demand dates — Cowboys Thanksgiving (November 26), the Big 12 Championship (December 4), the Cotton Bowl Classic (January 1, 2027), and multi-night concerts like Usher/Chris Brown or stadium-scale concerts — book as soon as your date is confirmed. Those dates clear out available vehicles fast, and the right size for your group goes first.

What is AT&T Stadium's address and phone number for guest services?

AT&T Stadium is located at 1 AT&T Way, Arlington, TX 76011. Guest Services can be reached on-site at the stadium.
