Stadium Information
AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, is one of the most recognisable and ambitious stadiums ever built for American football. Opened in 2009 in Arlington, Texas, the venue has a capacity of around eighty thousand, expandable for major events, and is defined by its vast retractable roof and towering steel arches that span more than a thousand feet. The stadium’s centrepiece is its enormous centre‑hung video board, once the largest in the world, providing crystal-clear views from every angle. The playing surface is synthetic turf designed to support fast offensive play, reflecting the Cowboys’ on‑field identity.
Matchdays at AT&T Stadium feel more like major events than traditional NFL games. Fans gather across the wide plazas and entertainment zones surrounding the venue, many arriving early to explore tailgating areas, bars, and restaurants across the Arlington sports district. Inside, the scale of the stadium creates a dramatic sense of theatre. The retractable roof and massive glass end-zone doors allow natural light to fill the venue, while the seating bowl rises steeply to maintain strong sightlines. Concessions include a wide range of food and drink, while premium clubs, art installations, and high-end hospitality spaces elevate the overall experience.
Access to AT&T Stadium includes major highways, shuttle buses, and designated rideshare zones, though game-day traffic can be heavy. Parking is spread across multiple large lots throughout the district. Accessibility features include step‑free entrances, ramps, elevators, wheelchair seating, adapted toilets, and a comprehensive guest‑services operation. The stadium’s location between Dallas and Fort Worth places it near entertainment districts, shopping centres, and hotels.
AT&T Stadium stands as a landmark of modern engineering and entertainment, defining the Cowboys’ identity and offering one of the most impressive venues in the NFL.
