The backup starts before you clear the Beach Street interchange. On a Cowboys Sunday, I-30 eastbound turns into a crawl about four miles west of the stadium, and every car in that line is heading for the same Collins Street exit — the single funnel point into AT&T Stadium's 15 numbered lots. Premium spots in Lots 4 through 7 run $75–$100 and require advance purchase, and the walk from your assigned space still takes 10 minutes in Texas heat before you reach a gate.

When the final whistle blows, Arlington Police run directed one-way traffic flows out of every lot, and the exit can keep you in your car for 30–45 minutes before you even reach Collins. Renting a charter bus or party bus to AT&T Stadium takes all of that off your hands. One bus handles the approach, drops your group at the designated entry, and parks in Lot 15 during the game — while everyone who drove is still inching toward the I-30 westbound on-ramp.

AT&T Stadium stands at One AT&T Way, Arlington, TX 76011, roughly 15 miles east of downtown Fort Worth on I-30. The stadium seats 80,000 fans with expandable standing-room capacity past 100,000 for the biggest events — and unlike stadiums in cities served by light rail at the gate, AT&T Stadium has no direct rail connection on Cowboys game days. The Trinity Railway Express gets you to CentrePort/DFW Airport Station, where chartered shuttle buses carry ticketholders to a Bus Hub north of the venue on designated match days — but that still requires a transfer and a 10-minute walk.

A private Fort Worth charter bus or party bus rental is the only ride that picks your whole group up at one door and delivers them to the stadium entry with no connections in between. For the broader picture of DFW sports group transportation, see the Fort Worth sporting event bus rental page.

 

Why Rent a Charter Bus or Party Bus to AT&T Stadium?

One bus eliminates the whole game-day equation. For a Cowboys game at AT&T Stadium, coordinating carpools means multiple arrival times, a parking pass purchased per car, and at least one person in every vehicle who can't enjoy the pregame because they're navigating the Collins Street gridlock. The moment your group reaches a dozen or more people, the math shifts hard — a single charter bus or party bus rental covers everyone in one flat rate, one drop-off, and one agreed pickup window after the game.

No parking scramble, no drawing straws for who has to drive back to Fort Worth.

The post-game advantage is just as real. AT&T Stadium's rideshare zone for regular Cowboys games is Lot 15 off Randol Mill Road and Web Street, per the stadium's official guidance — which puts rideshare passengers in the same lot where buses park, competing for position while Arlington Police manage the one-way exit flows. For stadium-scale concerts and major events like the nine FIFA World Cup 2026 matches that AT&T Stadium just hosted through July 2026, rideshare was pushed all the way to the Esports Stadium Arlington lot at 1200 Ballpark Way — 0.7 miles from the gates, about a 10–15 minute walk in Texas summer heat, made twice.

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

The stadium's published pre-event passenger drop-off zones, per the official AT&T Stadium parking page, are Lot 1 on the north side off Randol Mill Road and Lot 6 on the south side off Cowboys Way. These are the designated landing points for limousines, Sprinters, and oversized vehicles before events. Full-size charter buses use a dedicated west-side bus drop-off that delivers the group to the west face of the building, closer to the gate cluster on that side of the stadium.

That's a meaningfully shorter walk than what rideshare passengers face. On a standard Cowboys game day, rideshare pickup and drop-off is in Lot 15 off Collins Street — east of the stadium, a legitimate hike to the main gates. During the 2026 World Cup matches, rideshare was rerouted to the Esports Stadium Arlington lot, 0.7 miles away.

The contrast is straightforward: a bus drops your group near the gates; rideshare passengers walk. That walk is exactly why groups of 15 or more find a party bus or charter bus rental for AT&T Stadium worth the number before they even look at the parking rates.

AT&T Stadium, One AT&T Way — 80,000-seat home of the Dallas Cowboys, with expandable capacity past 100,000. The stadium just hosted nine FIFA World Cup 2026 matches, including quarterfinal play, more than any other venue in the country, and now turns its full attention to the Cowboys 2026 season opening September 20.
The walk that caught most fans off guard during the 2026 World Cup: rideshare pickup was at the Esports Stadium Arlington lot at 1200 Ballpark Way — 0.7 miles from the stadium gates, about 10–15 minutes on foot, in Texas summer heat, made twice. A charter bus drops your group at Lot 1 or Lot 6 instead.

Post-Event Pickup at AT&T Stadium

After events, post-game rideshare and taxi operations shift toward the Miller LiteHouse entrance at North Collins Street and Cowboys Way, per the stadium's official guidance, with taxi staging at the far west end of the Miller LiteHouse. That corner fills up with departing fans quickly, and Arlington Police are managing directed traffic flows in the lots simultaneously — vehicles that didn't arrange a meeting spot beforehand get stranded in the crowd trying to coordinate by phone. Your private charter bus stages in Lot 15 with a pre-agreed pickup window.

No app, no surge fare, no standing on Collins Street in the dark.

The key detail for any AT&T Stadium bus group: Arlington Police close roads near the stadium midway through events, which means your bus needs to be parked and staged before that window closes — not circling. Once your trip is booked, the pickup logistics for your specific event get confirmed with the provider ahead of the date. Setting that window before kickoff is the move that makes the post-game departure clean.

Bus groups drop at Lot 1 (north, off Randol Mill Road) or Lot 6 (south, off Cowboys Way) — not at a remote rideshare lot a 10-minute walk from the gates. For major events like World Cup matches and stadium concerts, that gap grows to 0.7 miles. Charter buses use the west-side bus drop-off for direct gate access.

Either way, your group is not walking across the Arlington Entertainment District with 80,000 other fans.

AT&T Stadium Bus Parking: Lot 15 and Limousine Parking

Parking a charter bus or larger vehicle at AT&T Stadium requires a pre-purchased pass — the stadium operates on a completely cashless, advance-required system across all lots. No passes are sold at the booth on event day. Two parking assignments matter most for groups arriving by bus or premium vehicle.

Lot 15 is the designated bus parking zone, located off Randol Mill Road and Web Street on the east side of Collins Street, per the stadium's official parking guidance. Full-size charter buses park here and hold tailgate gear and luggage in undercarriage bays during the game. Bus parking passes for Cowboys events run in the neighborhood of $150 prepaid — and since Lot 15 is also the regular-season rideshare zone, your bus and the rideshare queue share the same lot, which makes the pre-arranged meeting point with your group extra important post-game.

Limousines, Sprinter vans, and larger premium vehicles that are not full-size charter buses use the dedicated limousine parking along Randol Mill Road and Cowboys Way — the same Lot 1 / Lot 6 area used for passenger drop-off — per the stadium's official parking guidance, and a separate limousine parking pass is required. If your group is traveling in a 14-passenger Sprinter limo or a Sprinter van, this limousine parking area is for you; if you're in a full charter bus, Lot 15 is the right destination. Mixing these up means arriving at the wrong entrance with a vehicle too large for the lot assignment.

All passes must be purchased through the Cowboys app or SeatGeek before event day — these are the only purchase channels the stadium accepts. The bus parking portion of Lot 15 is limited, and passes sell out for high-demand dates. We strongly recommend confirming the current pass process, lot assignments, and pricing on the official AT&T Stadium parking page before your event date, as these can change by event.

Getting There: Fort Worth to AT&T Stadium Party Bus Routes

The route from Fort Worth to AT&T Stadium runs the same road nearly always: I-30 East to the Collins Street exit, which is the primary access point for the stadium's numbered lots. From downtown Fort Worth, that's roughly 15 miles and 25–35 minutes off-peak. Lot 1 (north, Randol Mill Road) is north of the Collins Street exit; Lot 6 (south, Cowboys Way) and the bus lots are south.

For most Fort Worth pickups — a hotel on West 7th, an office on Camp Bowie, a group gathering in Sundance Square — the bus takes I-30 East straight to the designated drop-off with no complications.

Groups coming from north of Fort Worth — North Richland Hills, Hurst, or Keller — typically pick up TX-360 South to I-30 East, then the Collins Street exit. From Grand Prairie or Irving to the east, the stadium is essentially en route on I-30 West into Arlington, with the Collins Street exit coming up well before downtown Arlington. From Mansfield, the approach is typically TX-360 North to I-30 East.

Every origin in the DFW footprint funnels toward Collins Street and AT&T Way — which is precisely why those two corridors become the bottleneck three hours before kickoff on a Cowboys Sunday.

Downtown Fort Worth to AT&T Stadium via I-30 East — about 15 miles and 25–35 minutes off-peak. On a Cowboys Sunday or stadium-scale concert evening, the final 4–5 miles approaching Collins Street can stretch that to an hour. On a bus, that stretch is somebody else's concern.

The I-30 TEXpress managed lanes run alongside the general-purpose lanes and carry dynamic pricing as an option — but even TEXpress fills up on major event days, and the last two miles off the exit are the same surface streets for everyone. During the 2026 World Cup, city officials and FIFA's Dallas organizing committee recommended arriving 2–2.5 hours before match start, explicitly noting that I-30 and I-20 would be "severely congested" for hours before and after matches. For Cowboys games and stadium concerts, the same 2-hour buffer applies for groups wanting to tailgate before kickoff.

A bus departs on a schedule that accounts for the congestion window, not around it.

Drive Times to AT&T Stadium by Pickup Location

Pickup Location Approx. Distance Off-Peak Drive Time
Downtown Fort Worth ~15 miles 25–35 minutes
North Richland Hills ~18 miles 25–35 minutes
Irving ~15 miles 20–30 minutes
Grand Prairie ~10 miles 15–20 minutes
Mansfield ~17 miles 25–35 minutes
DFW Airport / Grapevine area ~14 miles 20–30 minutes
Dallas Downtown ~20 miles 25–35 minutes

These are off-peak estimates. On Cowboys game days and during stadium-scale concerts, add 30–60 minutes to any of these runs in the final few miles approaching the Collins Street exit and the lot entrances. Groups wanting a full pregame tailgate window should plan to be in the lot at least three hours before kickoff — which means leaving Fort Worth three-plus hours out on busy dates.

The earlier the bus departs, the smoother the approach, and the better your tailgate position in Lot 15.

AT&T Stadium Transportation: Every Option Compared

Arlington has no urban rail stop at AT&T Stadium — every public transportation option requires at least one transfer before you reach the venue. A private charter bus or party bus rental is the only choice that runs door-to-door from Fort Worth without connections. Here's how every realistic option stacks up.

Option Cost shape Arrive together? Drop-off point Post-game situation Best group size
Private charter bus / party bus One flat rate, split across the group Yes — one vehicle, one arrival Lot 1 / Lot 6 / West Bus drop-off, steps from gates Bus stages in Lot 15; staged pickup when you walk out 15–56
Everyone drives & parks $25–$100 per car (advance required) + gas per car No — caravans split up Varies by lot assignment; 10–15 min walk typical Police-directed one-way exit flows; 30–45 min to reach Collins 1–2 cars max
Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) Per car each way + post-game surge No — multiple vehicles, different ETAs Lot 15 (regular season); 0.7 miles at Esports lot (major events) Surge pricing and wait times spike post-game 1–4 per car
TRE + Charter Bus (transit) Per ticket; free shuttle connection on designated match days Only if same train — no group control Bus Hub north of stadium; ~10-min walk to gates Return shuttles run 3 hours post-event; schedule-dependent Any, but no group control
Red Trolley Free Only for Entertainment District hotel guests Entertainment District hotels only; limited stops Schedule-dependent Hotel guests on Road to Six Flags corridor

For one or two fans coming from Dallas who live near a TRE station, the Trinity Railway Express is honest competition — it skips the parking puzzle and runs a predictable schedule. But the moment your group is large enough to fill more than a couple of cars, getting everyone to the same departure station at the same time and then riding the shuttle connection with thousands of strangers adds the kind of coordination friction that a single private bus eliminates entirely.

Trinity Railway Express: The Fort Worth Transit Option

The TRE option is worth understanding because groups from Fort Worth ask about it. You board at Fort Worth Central Station, ride to CentrePort/DFW Airport Station, and on designated match days — including all nine World Cup 2026 matches this past June and July — complimentary charter shuttle buses carried ticketholders from CentrePort to the Bus Hub north of AT&T Stadium, a 10-minute walk from the gates. The system worked well at scale: more than 40,000 people used the rail-and-bus combination across the nine World Cup matches, with trains running every 30 minutes on match days.

For the Cowboys season, TRE does not offer the same charter bus shuttle connection to the stadium — so this option is match-specific and not a regular-season solution from Fort Worth.

CentrePort/DFW Airport TRE Station to AT&T Stadium — the charter bus leg of the public transit route that carried 40,000+ fans during World Cup 2026 match days. For individual fans, it works. For a 25-person Cowboys group from Fort Worth, coordinating everyone to Fort Worth Central Station for the same train is where the appeal breaks down.

What Size Bus Does Your AT&T Stadium Group Need?

AT&T Stadium draws groups of every shape — 12 coworkers with suite passes, 50 fans from the same neighborhood, corporate clients in club seats, and birthday groups who want the pregame energy to start the moment the bus pulls away from the curb. Partybusinfortworth.com connects you to a large network of bus companies serving Fort Worth so you can compare options by size and rate. Here's how the vehicle lineup breaks down for an AT&T Stadium run.

Vehicle Typical seats Storage Best for Key amenities
14-passenger Sprinter limo / Sprinter van Up to 14 Modest — bags and small gear Suite holders, small VIP groups, corporate clients Premium leather, USB charging, tinted privacy windows; parks in the limousine parking area off Randol Mill Road / Cowboys Way
Party bus (2050 passengers) ~15–50 Onboard, lighter gear Fan groups wanting a rolling pregame; birthday and group celebrations Built-in bar setup, color-changing LED lighting, Bluetooth sound system, flat-panel TVs
15–35 passenger minibus ~15–35 Overhead bins plus some underfloor Mid-size groups, office outings, multi-pickup runs Powerful A/C, plush reclining seats; better maneuverability on Collins Street
40–56 passenger charter bus Up to 56 Excellent — deep undercarriage bays Large fan groups, corporate outings, tailgate-heavy groups Reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restrooms, undercarriage bays; parks in Lot 15

The right call comes down to headcount and how much gear your group is hauling. Groups with tailgate equipment — folding chairs, coolers, game-day supplies — benefit from a full charter bus's deep undercarriage bays, which hold everything during the game without anyone worrying about it. For fan groups wanting the pregame experience on wheels, a 25- to 50-passenger party bus comes with built-in bar setups, color-changing LEDs, and a premium sound system — the kind of setup that turns the 15-mile run from Fort Worth into part of the event.

ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the network; flag it in your quote request and the right vehicle can be matched to your group.

AT&T Stadium Party Bus & Charter Bus Rental Prices

Partybusinfortworth.com shows quotes from a large network of bus companies serving Fort Worth and the DFW area — compare options in under 30 seconds online, or call 214-540-6738 any time. To give you a planning range: a minibus rental for an AT&T Stadium run typically starts in the range of $200–$275 per hour; a 40–56 passenger charter bus runs $200–$350 per hour; party buses range from $250 to $500 per hour depending on size and whether it's a weekday or weekend game. Those are planning ranges — the real number moves with your specific date, vehicle, total hours, and pickup location.

The bus parking pass in Lot 15 (in the neighborhood of $150 prepaid) or the limousine parking pass is a separate stadium cost paid directly through the Cowboys app or SeatGeek. Check the Fort Worth party bus prices page for a full breakdown by vehicle, or call 214-540-6738 to get an exact quote for your event date.

A Game-Day Example

To give you an idea: a 35-person fan group from Fort Worth books a 40-passenger party bus for a Cowboys home game. Pickup at 1:30 PM from a West 7th Street hotel; at the stadium's north drop-off in Lot 1 by 2:45 PM — nearly three hours before kickoff. The group tailgates in Lot 15 through 4:30 PM, walks to the gate, and the bus is already staged nearby for a 9:00 PM post-game pickup after the final whistle.

A 7.5-hour rental at that size might come to around $2,500 — about $71 per person, covering the entire approach, the post-game wait, and the return run to Fort Worth. That's one number, no parking scramble, and no one in the group draws the short straw for who stays sober to drive.

What's On at AT&T Stadium in 2026

AT&T Stadium runs one of the busiest event calendars of any venue in the country, and the Fort Worth group transportation demand reflects it. The events drawing the most requests in the second half of 2026:

  • BTS World Tour 'ARIRANG' — August 15 and 16, 2026. Two consecutive stadium nights at 80,000-person capacity. The same AT&T Way and Cowboys Way corridor closures that defined World Cup match days will apply on both concert evenings, and vehicle availability for Fort Worth groups is already thin. If your group is attending either night and hasn't booked transportation yet, call 214-540-6738 now.
  • Zach Bryan with Heaven On Tour — August 22, 2026. Stadium-scale country music, with I-30 carrying the same game-day pattern: back up well before the Collins Street exit and a post-show crawl out of the lots. Groups from North Richland Hills, Mansfield, and Fort Worth's Near Southside neighborhood commonly rent a minibus for these cross-city concert runs.
  • Usher & Chris Brown R&B Tour — September 10, 2026. Large-venue show that lands right at the start of the Cowboys regular season, adding to a compressed booking window for September dates. Same Lot 15 bus logistics, same advance parking requirement, same Collins Street approach.
  • Dallas Cowboys 2026 season. The home opener against the Washington Commanders is September 20, 2026, with eight home games at AT&T Stadium during the regular season (the Cowboys' Week 3 "home" game against Baltimore is played at a neutral site in Brazil). Primetime national broadcast games are mixed into the slate, per the official Cowboys schedule. Primetime games and rivalry matchups book up fastest — for those dates, vehicle availability follows the same pattern as the World Cup: first-come, first-served.

Back-to-back event weekends are the hardest to plan around. BTS on August 15 and 16 means available vehicles for both nights are competing from the same regional pool. Same-week bookings are possible but carry premium rates and limited selection.

The cleaner move is to lock in both nights in one request — and if you're already making a trip for Zach Bryan on August 22, keeping the same vehicle arrangement for the Cowboys opener on September 20 is worth discussing when you call.

Tailgating at AT&T Stadium: Rules for Bus Groups

Tailgating at AT&T Stadium is permitted in designated grass areas on the perimeter of the parking lots — not on the pavement and not in lanes. The maximum footprint per group is 9 feet wide by 12 feet deep, per the stadium's published rules. Lots open five hours before Cowboys kickoffs, and tailgating is allowed through two hours after the game ends.

Lots 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 15 are among the tailgate-permitted lots — which includes Lot 15 where charter buses park, so your group's pregame happens right where the bus is staged.

  • No deep fryers or open flames. Gas and charcoal grills are permitted. Open fires, fire pits, and fireworks are prohibited. Hot coals must be disposed of in a receptacle, not left on the asphalt.
  • No amplified sound systems. Portable speakers at reasonable volume are fine. Full DJ setups are not permitted, and the stadium enforces this in lots adjacent to the gates.
  • No towing anything onto stadium property. Vehicles cannot enter the lots while towing trailers, grills, or oversized rigs. Your tailgate equipment rides in the bus's undercarriage bays — which is exactly where it fits for a charter bus group.
  • All parking is advance-only and cashless. No walk-up cash purchases. If your bus parking pass isn't purchased before you arrive, the attendant turns you away — the official AT&T Stadium parking page is the authoritative source for the current pass process, and it's worth reviewing before your event date.

One important note for major events: tailgate rules shift depending on the event. During the 2026 World Cup matches, the stadium operated under FIFA-specific protocols that differed from a standard Cowboys game. What's permitted for your specific event date is confirmed with the stadium and your provider ahead of time — that's not the kind of detail to discover at the lot entrance.

Leaving AT&T Stadium After the Game

The exit is where first-timers get the biggest surprise. AT&T Stadium's departure plan on event days involves Arlington Police managing directed one-way traffic flows out of the numbered lots — vehicles leave in a controlled sequence that can hold them in the lot for 30–45 minutes before they even reach Collins Street. Rideshare pickups in Lot 15 mean the bus staging area and the rideshare queue are in the same location, which is why a clear meeting point and time — agreed before kickoff — is not optional.

It's the difference between walking straight to your bus and spending 20 minutes in a crowd trying to find it.

With a charter bus, the procedure is clean: your group sets a post-game pickup window (typically 30 minutes after the final whistle, adjusted for the event's expected exit pace), the bus is staged at the agreed spot in Lot 15, and everyone climbs on while the lot-exit queue is still building. The bus takes the fastest cleared route back toward I-30 westbound, and the group is recapping the game while the cars are still waiting for their turn in the one-way flow. The second trip — the drive home to Fort Worth — doesn't have to be the worst part of the day.

Tips Every AT&T Stadium Group Should Know

  • Buy parking before event day — no exceptions. AT&T Stadium is 100% cashless and advance-required across every lot. Bus parking passes for Lot 15 and limousine parking passes must be purchased through the Cowboys app or SeatGeek before you arrive. They sell out for high-demand dates. If you wait until the week of a primetime Cowboys game or a stadium concert, you may not find a bus parking pass at any price.
  • Check the current road closure plan for your event. During World Cup 2026 matches, the city closed AT&T Way (from Cowboys Way to Randol Mill Road), Cowboys Way (from N. Collins Street to AT&T Way), and a section of Nolan Ryan Expressway north of the stadium. Major concerts and playoff-caliber Cowboys games carry similar closure risk. Review the official AT&T Stadium parking page and Arlington's event communications before your event day to confirm the current approach plan.
  • Know the A-to-Z Guide. The AT&T Stadium A-to-Z Guide covers the clear-bag policy, prohibited items, re-entry rules, accessible services, and gate-specific information. Review it before your event so no one in your group is turned away at the gate for a bag that doesn't comply.
  • Arrive early for Cowboys games. Lots open five hours before kickoff, and premium inner lots (4–7) fill and close once capacity is reached. Groups wanting a full tailgate window should plan to be in the lot three hours before kickoff — which means leaving Fort Worth before the worst of the traffic builds.
  • Save the stadium's contact. AT&T Stadium is at One AT&T Way, Arlington, TX 76011; the main guest services line is (817) 892-4000. If anyone in your group gets separated post-game, the Miller LiteHouse entrance at North Collins Street and Cowboys Way is the designated rideshare and taxi meetup zone — establish that as your group's fallback point before you walk in.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Full-size charter buses use a designated west-side bus drop-off at AT&T Stadium, delivering the group to the west face of the building near that side's gate cluster. Limousines, Sprinters, and party buses drop at Lot 1 on the north side off Randol Mill Road or Lot 6 on the south side off Cowboys Way, per AT&T Stadium's published passenger drop-off zones on the official parking page. The specific entry point for your vehicle type and event gets confirmed with your provider ahead of the date.

Where does the bus park during the game at AT&T Stadium?

Charter buses park in Lot 15, the designated bus parking zone off Randol Mill Road and Web Street. Bus parking passes run in the neighborhood of $150 prepaid and must be purchased through the Cowboys app or SeatGeek before event day — no day-of passes are available. Limousines and Sprinters use the dedicated limousine parking along Randol Mill Road and Cowboys Way.

All AT&T Stadium lots are cashless and advance-required; confirm current pass availability on the official parking page before your event.

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

To give you a planning range: a minibus starts around $200–$275 per hour; a 40–56 passenger charter bus runs $200–$350 per hour; party buses range from $250–$500 per hour depending on size and whether it's a weekday or weekend. The real rate is specific to your date, vehicle, and total hours — fill out the quick form or call 214-540-6738 and get pricing in under 30 seconds. Note that the stadium's bus parking pass is a separate advance-purchase cost.

See the Fort Worth party bus prices page for the full breakdown by vehicle type.

What's the best route from Fort Worth to AT&T Stadium?

From downtown Fort Worth, I-30 East to the Collins Street exit is the standard approach — about 15 miles and 25–35 minutes off-peak. From North Richland Hills or Hurst, take TX-360 South to I-30 East to Collins. From Mansfield, TX-360 North to I-30 East.

From Irving or Grand Prairie, I-30 West into Arlington. Every route converges at Collins Street and AT&T Way, which is the main congestion point from about three hours before kickoff through an hour after the game ends.

Is there a train or public bus to AT&T Stadium from Fort Worth?

There's no direct light rail service to the stadium gates on Cowboys game days. The Trinity Railway Express runs from Fort Worth Central Station to CentrePort/DFW Airport Station, where complimentary charter shuttle buses carried match ticketholders to the Bus Hub north of AT&T Stadium on World Cup 2026 match days — a 10-minute walk to the gates. That shuttle connection operated specifically for World Cup matches; for Cowboys games and concerts, TRE does not offer the same stadium bus link.

A private charter bus is the only option that picks your full group up at a single Fort Worth location and delivers them at the stadium entry with no connections.

What roads close around AT&T Stadium on event days?

During the 2026 FIFA World Cup matches, the city closed AT&T Way (from Cowboys Way to Randol Mill Road) and Cowboys Way (from N. Collins Street to AT&T Way), plus a section of Nolan Ryan Expressway north of the Entertainment District. For major Cowboys games and stadium concerts, Collins Street and Randol Mill Road experience severe congestion, and Arlington Police run directed one-way traffic flows in the lots from midway through the event through 30–45 minutes post-game. The specific closure plan changes by event — check the official AT&T Stadium parking page before your date for the current plan.

Can the bus stay with us during the tailgate and the game?

Yes. Your bus is booked as a block of hours, so it drops your group at the designated entry, holds tailgate gear in Lot 15, and stages for an agreed post-game pickup window — all within the same rental. Set the pickup location and time before your group goes inside.

Because Arlington Police close roads near the stadium midway through events, the bus is already parked before that window — the pickup logistics get confirmed with your provider at booking, not improvised after the game.

What is the bag policy at AT&T Stadium?

AT&T Stadium enforces a clear-bag policy. Review the current policy details in the official AT&T Stadium A-to-Z Guide before your event — policies can be updated for specific events, and non-compliant bags at the gate mean delays for your whole group. Outside food and drinks are not permitted through the gates.

Are ADA-accessible buses available?

Yes — ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the network. Flag it in your quote request and the right vehicle can be matched to your group. At the stadium, accessible parking is available through the advance-purchase system with a valid state-issued placard or license plate, on a first-come, first-served basis.

How far in advance should I book for a Cowboys game or concert?

For regular Cowboys games, 4–6 weeks of lead time is workable for most dates. For primetime games (Sunday/Monday Night Football), the Cowboys home opener on September 20, and stadium-scale concerts like the BTS shows on August 15–16 or Zach Bryan on August 22, book as soon as your group confirms — vehicle availability for those dates drops fast once the event is announced. The BTS concerts are 10 days out as of now, and if you haven't booked yet, calling 214-540-6738 today is the right move.
