Dallas Cowboy stadium and parking report

Just returned from a trip to the stadium and here is my review. I attended the first event held there, the George Strait concert.





The stadium is absolutely amazing! While we were sitting high up on the 400 level (on the sidelines, section 441) and walked around the stadium, we came to the conclusion that there wasn%26#39;t a bad seat in the house. The HD Jumbotron screen, at 120%26#39;x70%26#39;, made for a very nice view. If you are on the sidelines you see this massive screen, if you are on the end zones, you have a much smaller screen. The HD Jumbotron has to be seen to be believed, the picture quality and screen size makes you feel like front row at the concert.





Several hotels offer free trolley service to/from the stadium. We stayed at the new Comfort Suites on Road to Six Flags Drive and the free shuttle came by every 30 minutes and worked fine going to the show. Leaving the show was a completely different story though. It was complete chaos trying to find out what lines to get in, there was no organization at all. When we didn%26#39;t get on the first trolley, we decided to walk back to our hotel about 2 miles away....and we beat the trolley. The walk was a pleasant, 25 minute walk at a brisk pace. There were sidewalks all of the way to the hotel and the streets were lit enough to feel safe walking this distance, plus lots of traffic on all the roads we took. There were lots of other people also walking back to our hotel.





I cannot comment on actual stadium parking because I used the trolley system, sorry.





I also asked about this trolley service for future Cowboy games and they advised they would be offered for the games, too.

Thanks for the update knr! I wondered how things would go trying to catch a shuttle back to a particular hotel. Hopefully, things will improve as time goes on and the ';kinks'; in the systems are worked out.





I%26#39;m glad to hear such great things about the stadium.

knr - I%26#39;m an Australian making my way across to Arlington to watch the Cowboys second home pre-season game... where would you recommend I get a seat... being a once in a life-time thing





I%26#39;ve been thinking row 1 of the main level... endzone?





Also found tickets for the next level up, which seems interesting... (ie. at the end where the glass windows are...)




Well done, knr- the first on-the-scene report at the new stadium. So glad you had a good time!




Danielz........sorry for the delay, just got back into town last night.





I would stick with side-line seats, instead of the endzones. I think you get a distorted view of the game unless you watch the screen. I really like the over-sized jumbotron vs the smaller endzone screens.





I found this link which might help you out
