Getting There & Away
Transport options to and from the stadium
VIA Rail / Trinity Railway Express
TransportThe TRE (Trinity Railway Express) runs directly from Dallas Union Station to the CentrePort/DFW station, a 10-minute shuttle to the stadium. Day pass is $5. Avoid driving — parking is $60-100 and Arlington traffic on matchdays is among the worst in the country.
Rideshare Pickup — Lot 10
TransportDesignated rideshare zone is Lot 10, on the east side of the stadium. Wait times hit 45+ minutes after full-time. Tip: walk 15 minutes to a nearby hotel or restaurant and order from there to beat the surge and the gridlock.

Good Anytime
Attractions and spots worth visiting before or after
The Stockyards
AttractionFort Worth's historic cattle district. Real Texas at its most cinematic — wooden sidewalks, western stores, and a twice-daily longhorn cattle drive down the street. Great for visitors who want a taste of the Old West before or after the match.
Whataburger (multiple locations)
RestaurantThe cult Texas fast-food chain. A honey butter chicken biscuit or a Patty Melt at 1am after a match is a rite of passage. Multiple locations across the DFW area. The Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit is the order.
After the Match

Deep Ellum
NightlifeAfter the match, head to Deep Ellum — Dallas's live music district with bars, clubs, and late-night food lining Main Street and Elm..resurgent, loud, and the heart of the Dallas night. Twisted Root Burger is a great post-match feed.
