Stadium Guide

The Experience

Opened in 2009 and home of the Dallas Cowboys, AT&T Stadium pairs a retractable roof and full climate control with one of the largest column-free interiors and video boards in the world — built to host everything from NFL Sundays to Super Bowls, Final Fours, and world title fights.

Inside

The Stadium

  • A retractable roof and huge end-zone glass doors — opened in good weather, closed to manage summer heat or winter cold
  • Full climate control throughout the seating bowl and concourses, regardless of the conditions outside
  • The iconic center-hung video board is among the largest in the world, with clear replay visibility from every level
  • The 300 Level mezzanine offers the best value-to-experience ratio in the building — strong angles and excellent board views
  • Field Level Suites sit within feet of the action — the highest-impact group experience available
  • A clear-bag policy is enforced at every gate; confirm the specific event’s requirements before arriving
Day Of

Arrive Ready

  • 90 minutes early minimum — parking, the outdoor walk in, and security all add to entry time for big games
  • No direct rail service — rideshare, car, or private transport are the practical options from Dallas or Fort Worth
  • Pre-purchase parking online well in advance; the closest lots sell out for Cowboys games and marquee events
  • Parking, rideshare zones, and walking routes are outdoors, so plan for Texas heat early in the season
  • Globe Life Field (Texas Rangers) is adjacent — an easy same-trip combination for baseball fans
Cowboys & Major Events

Events at AT&T Stadium

AT&T Stadium is the year-round home of the Dallas Cowboys and one of the busiest major-event venues in the country — hosting college football, the biggest concert tours, championship boxing, and marquee international events.

NFL · Dallas Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys Football

  • Home of the Cowboys since 2009 — a full slate of preseason and regular-season home games from August through the playoffs
  • The Cowboys host a nationally televised game at AT&T Stadium every Thanksgiving, one of the NFL’s signature traditions
  • NFC East rivalry games against the Eagles, Giants, and Commanders bring the loudest, highest-demand atmospheres
  • Playoff football, when the Cowboys host, is the hardest ticket of the year — plan well ahead
Beyond the NFL

Concerts & Major Events

  • Super Bowl XLV (2011), the NCAA Men’s Final Four (2014), and record-setting WrestleMania crowds
  • The biggest global concert tours regularly play the stadium, using the full end-zone-door stage configuration
  • Championship boxing, the CONCACAF Gold Cup, and international soccer friendlies
  • A FIFA World Cup 2026 host venue — nine matches including a semifinal (see the World Cup section below)
College Football

A College Football Hub

AT&T Stadium hosts the annual Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic, the Big 12 Championship Game, and marquee neutral-site kickoff games each season. These draw huge national crowds and are among the best-value football tickets at the venue outside of Cowboys Sundays.

Best Seats

Where to Sit

For Cowboys and college football, the lower-level sideline between the 20s is the premium choice, while the 300 Level mezzanine is the value pick with a full-field view. For concerts, the floor and lower sideline are closest to the stage. Full breakdown in the seating section below.

The Region

Arlington & DFW

The stadium anchors the Arlington Entertainment District alongside Globe Life Field and Six Flags Over Texas, midway between Dallas and Fort Worth. A game here pairs naturally with a Rangers game, Uptown Dallas dining, or Fort Worth’s Stockyards — plan at least two days for a full trip.

Tell us your game or event — a Cowboys Sunday, a Thanksgiving game, a concert, or the Cotton Bowl — and we’ll confirm availability and build the full Dallas–Fort Worth package.

Where to Sit

AT&T Stadium Seating Chart & Best Sections

The best seats at AT&T Stadium for football are the lower-level sideline sections between the 20-yard lines — closest to the action with a balanced full-field view. Here’s how the whole bowl breaks down, level by level.

How the Seating Works

AT&T Stadium Levels, Explained

AT&T Stadium is a four-level bowl. Picking the right level is the single most important seating decision — here’s what each one offers:

100
Lower Bowl
Closest to the field, loudest atmosphere. Sideline sections between the 20s are the best in the building.
200
Club Level
Premium mid-level with wider seats, dedicated concourses, and upgraded food and beverage.
300
Mezzanine
The best value at the stadium — strong elevation, full-field sightlines, excellent video-board views.
400
Upper Deck
The most affordable seats. Sit toward midfield for the best angle; the video board carries the replays.

Above standard levels sit club, premium, and suite products with dedicated amenities — covered in the premium section below. We can source across every tier.

AT&T Stadium seating chart showing levels and sections
Tier Breakdown
01
100 Level Sideline — Best Seats
Lower-bowl sideline between the 20-yard lines. The closest, most balanced full-field view and the loudest atmosphere — the go-to for Cowboys games and any football fixture.

Sideline Club (100/200)
The upgraded sideline experience — wider seats, premium concourse access, and dedicated food and beverage. The best balance of proximity and comfort for groups.
03
100 Level Corner
Diagonal lower-bowl views at a friendlier price than the sidelines. Lower rows improve the angle — a strong value inside the lower bowl.
04
100 Level End Zone
The closest non-suite access to the end zones. Front rows are nearly at field level — great for atmosphere and end-zone scoring plays, with a more limited full-field view.
05
300 Level Mezzanine — Best Value
The strongest value tier at AT&T Stadium. Mezzanine elevation, excellent video-board visibility, and a genuinely good view at a fraction of lower-bowl pricing. Sit on the sideline for the best angle.
06
400 Level Upper Deck — Most Affordable
The most budget-friendly tier. The center-hung video board keeps you in every replay — sit toward midfield for the best upper-deck sightline.

NFL Hospitality & Tickets

The Part You’ll Actually Remember

Comfort

Roof & Climate

The retractable roof and full climate control make AT&T Stadium one of the most comfortable large venues in the country — but only once you’re inside.

Roof Policy
Opened or Closed by Event
The roof and the giant end-zone doors can be open or closed, decided by the team or event organizers based on weather. Expect them closed for hot early-season afternoons or cold late-season games, and open when conditions are pleasant. Either way the game experience stays comfortable.
Inside
Climate-Controlled Throughout
Concourses, premium areas, and the seating bowl are fully air-conditioned, so it stays comfortable regardless of the temperature outside. That’s one of the defining advantages of AT&T Stadium for both summer and winter events.
Planning Tip
Plan for Outdoor Exposure
Parking lots, rideshare queues, and walking routes are all outdoors. Early-season Texas heat is real, so bring water, wear light layers, and build extra time into your arrival. The inside is comfortable; the walk in isn’t.
Getting Here

Parking, Rideshare & Entry

There’s no direct rail service to AT&T Stadium — car, rideshare, or private transport are the options. Parking is sold in tiers by proximity, and the fastest exit is rarely the closest lot.

Parking
Tiered Lots — Pre-Purchase
Large surface lots surround the Entertainment District, sold in tiers by proximity — the closest premium lots cost the most and sell out first. Pre-purchase online well in advance for Cowboys games and marquee events. Premium and VIP parking is often bundled with suite and club packages.
Exit Strategy
Walk First, Then Rideshare
Park farther out and walk 10–15 minutes rather than fighting the tightest post-game choke points. For rideshare, set your pickup slightly outside the perimeter — the zones run slow after major events and surge pricing applies.
Gates & Timing
Gates ~2 Hours Before Kickoff
Gates typically open about two hours before Cowboys kickoff, earlier for premium and club holders. Arrive at least 90 minutes early for parking, the walk in, and security. Entry is by mobile ticket at every gate — load everything before you leave the hotel.
Bag Policy & Entry

What You Can Bring

  • Clear-bag policy: clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bags up to 12″x6″x12″, or a small hand-size clutch
  • Backpacks, large purses, and non-clear bags are not permitted at the gates
  • Mobile tickets only — no printed tickets; load your wallet before arriving
  • Policies can vary by event, so confirm the specific game’s rules before you travel

Final selections depend on date-specific availability. We place your group in the strongest option at the time of booking.

Around the Venue

Globe Life Field is next door — pair your Cowboys game with a Rangers game on the same trip. Six Flags Over Texas is minutes away for groups adding a leisure day. Uptown Dallas (30 min east) and Sundance Square in Fort Worth (20 min west) are both strong evening extensions after the game.

FIFA World Cup 2026

World Cup 2026 at AT&T Stadium

AT&T Stadium was one of the Dallas host venues for the FIFA World Cup 2026, staging nine matches across the group stage and knockout rounds — including a semifinal on July 14, 2026, one of only two in the tournament.

The Matches

9 Matches, Incl. a Semifinal

Five group-stage matches, two Round of 32 fixtures, a Round of 16 fixture, and a semifinal on July 14 — one of the marquee venues of the tournament thanks to the climate-controlled roof and 80,000-plus capacity.

Seating for Soccer

How World Cup Seating Worked

World Cup tickets were sold in FIFA price categories by location: Category 1 was lower-bowl longside (sideline), Category 2 the corners and upper sideline, and Category 3 behind-goal and upper bowl. For soccer, longside sideline seats gave the best full-pitch view.

Host City

Dallas & the DFW Metroplex

Dallas–Fort Worth was one of the tournament’s busiest host regions. For the full city breakdown, see our World Cup 2026 Dallas travel guide, which covers the wider region in depth.

Looking ahead, AT&T Stadium continues as the home of the Dallas Cowboys and a year-round host of college football, concerts, and major events. For current tickets and premium access to any of them, reach out any time.

FAQ

AT&T Stadium — Common Questions

The questions fans ask most, plainly answered.

The best seats at AT&T Stadium for a Cowboys game are the lower-level (100s) sideline sections between the 20-yard lines — the closest, most balanced view of the field with the loudest atmosphere. The Sideline Club adds wider seats and premium concourse access. If value matters, the 300 Level mezzanine sideline is the standout: a full-field view and excellent video-board sightlines at a fraction of lower-bowl pricing.

Prices rise sharply for Cowboys games and marquee events, and the best lots sell out, so pre-purchase online in advance. Premium and VIP parking is often bundled with suite and club packages, which is one reason groups upgrade.

AT&T Stadium enforces a clear-bag policy. Permitted bags are clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC up to 12 by 6 by 12 inches, or a small clutch about the size of your hand.

Gates typically open about two hours before kickoff for Cowboys games, and earlier for premium and club ticket holders. Plan to arrive at least 90 minutes early to allow for parking, the outdoor walk in, and security. There is no direct rail service, so build extra time into both your arrival and your exit, especially for rideshare after the game.

Yes — AT&T Stadium has a retractable roof and is fully climate-controlled, so every seat is covered and the interior stays comfortable no matter the weather. The roof and the giant end-zone doors may be opened for pleasant conditions or closed for heat or cold. The only outdoor exposure is in the parking lots and on the walk in, so plan for Texas heat early in the season.

Yes. AT&T Stadium was a Dallas host venue for the FIFA World Cup 2026, staging nine matches across the group stage and knockout rounds, including a semifinal on July 14, 2026 — one of only two semifinals in the tournament.
