Game day parking in Downtown Arlington: Ride the shuttle to AT&T Stadium
If you’ve ever tried to park near AT&T Stadium on Dallas Cowboys game day, you know the struggle: heavy traffic, long walks and high prices. Pair that with surge pricing on rideshare apps, and game day transportation can get stressful and expensive fast.
Here’s the good news: you don’t have to deal with it. Downtown Arlington has you covered. Thanks to a long-running partnership with local businesses, fans can park in Downtown and ride an easy, affordable shuttle straight to the Entertainment District without missing a minute of the action.
Downtown Arlington is Game Day Central

“We took the shuttle from Downtown Arlington to the stadium,” said Claude, a longtime Cowboys fan. “We got there a couple hours before the game, had lunch and a drink, then hopped on the shuttle. The driver told us exactly where to meet him after the game, and it worked like clockwork.”
