Getting to the game

Parking and game-day arrival

  • Prebook official parking for Arlington football and baseball events because surrounding traffic patterns change on game day.
  • Verify that any offsite lot includes a safe pedestrian route or operating shuttle to the venue.

Parking inventory, prices, entry gates, tailgating policies, and rideshare zones can change by event. Confirm current details through the venue or event organizer before traveling.

Game-day planning

  • Stay in Arlington when the game is the trip’s main purpose.
