AT&T Stadium seats over 80,000 people. When 80,000 people try to park at the same time, traffic in Arlington becomes a problem.
A charter bus is the smartest way to get a group to AT&T Stadium. One vehicle, one price, no parking stress, and everyone arrives together.
Here is everything you need to know about game day transportation to AT&T Stadium.
Why Groups Use a Charter Bus for AT&T Stadium
Parking at AT&T Stadium is expensive and limited. Surface lots fill up fast. The premium lots closer to the gates cost $75 to $150 on big event days. Traffic after the game backs up for 30 to 45 minutes or more.
When you put your group on a charter bus, all of that goes away. The driver handles parking, positioning, and post-game pickup. Your group walks off the bus and straight into the game.
It also eliminates the designated driver question for groups planning to drink during the game.

How Game Day Timing Works
The biggest mistake groups make is cutting timing too close.
Arrival. Plan to arrive at AT&T Stadium 60 to 90 minutes before kickoff or showtime. Traffic into Arlington backs up well before the event starts. Your driver will navigate, but the roads are the roads.
Pickup location. For tailgating groups, we can drop at a lot and return for pickup. For groups not tailgating, we drop at the stadium gate and stage for post-game pickup.
Post-game. Exiting AT&T Stadium takes time. Traffic does not clear immediately. Plan for 30 to 45 minutes after the final whistle before your bus is moving. We communicate with you throughout.
Pickup Options for AT&T Stadium Groups
We pick up from anywhere in DFW. Common pickup points for AT&T Stadium groups:
