Dallas Stadium Match Day Parking: Every Lot, Cost, Shuttle and Walking Route

Dallas Stadium in Arlington has roughly 12,000 official parking spaces distributed across 15 numbered lots. On match days during the 2026 international soccer tournament, demand will be at its peak and planning is essential.

Here is everything you need to know about parking.

Official lots and walk times

Premium lots (1 through 7)

These are closest to the stadium plazas. Lots 4, 5, 6 and 7 allow tailgating in designated grass areas. Walk time to the gates is five to 15 minutes.

Standard lots (10 through 13)

Located along North Collins Street and Cowboys Way. Tailgating is permitted in the grassy perimeters. Walk time is 10 to 15 minutes via marked pedestrian pathways.

Economy and specialty lots (14 and 15)

On the outer edge of the complex. Lot 14 handles oversized vehicles and RVs. Lot 15 is the designated rideshare zone for Uber and Lyft. Walk time is 15 to 22 minutes.

All official parking is 100% cashless. Payment must be made via credit card, mobile payment or pre-purchased digital pass.

Estimated parking costs for tournament matches

Premium lots (4 through 7): $150 to $200 or more.

Standard lots (10 through 13): $125 to $175.

Economy lots (14 through 15): $125 general.

Dynamic pricing on secondary markets can push premium lot pricing from $275 to upwards of $800 for high-profile knockout matches. Pre-purchase your parking pass whenever possible.

Overflow and alternative parking

When the main lots fill, fans use nearby venues. On days without a Texas Rangers game, the Globe Life Field overflow lots open up at $30 to $40. Local business lots along Randol Mill Road and Collins Street cost $20 to $50 and offer faster highway access after the match.

Shuttle services

Arlington lacks direct public rail to the stadium. Shuttles are the primary option for off-site parking.

  1. Gilligan’s Bar and Grill and other downtown Arlington establishments offer park-and-ride shuttle services. Park free at the restaurant, buy a meal and pay about $15 per person for round-trip shuttle service.

For large tournament matches, fans can take the Trinity Railway Express (TRE) to CentrePort Station. From there, charter buses transport ticket holders to the stadium.

Rideshare logistics

The designated rideshare drop-off zones are Lot 1 (north side via Randol Mill Road) and Lot 6 (south side via Cowboys Way). Post-match pick-ups are routed to the rideshare zone in Lot 15.

Budget tip: Walk 15 to 20 minutes away from the stadium before ordering a rideshare to avoid surge pricing.
