How to get to AT&T Stadium by public transport
Unfortunately, AT&T Stadium is not directly accessible by any public transit. Trinity Metro and trolleys are convenient options, but they do not operate on event days, making it difficult to commute to the venue. Visiting fans often have to rely on shuttles or rideshare taxis to reach the stadium. However, during the World Cup next year, you can expect dedicated coach buses to help ease traffic and reduce congestion.
How to get to AT&T Stadium by car
Fans traveling to the stadium by car can take Exit 28 toward Ballpark Way or Collins Street from I-30. From there, follow the signs for AT&T Way or Randol Mill Road to reach the stadium parking lots.
AT&T Stadium offers plenty of parking, with over 12,000 spaces available on-site. The lots typically open five hours before events, giving fans enough time to arrive early and settle in.
