Arlington Stadium District from Bedford: Game-Day Planning

AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field are two major venues in Arlington's stadium district. AT&T Stadium is at One AT&T Way, while Globe Life Field is at 734 Stadium Drive.

If your plans include both venues, treat them as separate stops when checking addresses, parking, and event access. The stadium district also includes Six Flags Over Texas, with routes and visit planning for the park from Bedford.

Driving directions depend on which venue you are visiting, so set your destination to its specific address before leaving Bedford. For Globe Life Field, the Texas Rangers give directions for drivers coming from the east: travel west on I-30, take Ballpark Way Exit 29S, continue on Ballpark Way, turn left on Randol Mill Road, and proceed to the field.

Event-day travel times depend on traffic. Bestway Inn is a two-star hotel in Bedford; this Bedford hotel is a starting point for planning your drive, but allow flexibility for event traffic.

Parking, rideshare and passenger drop-off arrangements differ between AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field, so use the instructions for your event venue.

AT&T Stadium

AT&T Stadium identifies passenger drop-off zones at Lot 1, on the north side of Randol Mill Road, and Lot 6, off Cowboys Way. Post-event traffic may make those locations unavailable for pickup.

The stadium also says guests with disabilities or limited mobility can use shuttles from each Cowboys parking lot to the stadium and after events; the service is for the guest and one companion.

Globe Life Field

The Rangers say Globe Life Field parking is cashless: you can pay in advance or at lot entry with a debit or credit card, but not with cash. Night-game lots open 2.5 hours before game time and entries open 2 hours before; for day games, lots open 2 hours before and entries open 1.5 hours before.

At Globe Life Field, general-admission accessible parking is first come, first served, and you can request an ADA cart from parking staff. The Rangers identify Chapman Cutoff as the rideshare pickup zone and prohibit post-event pickups on Randoll Mill.

AT&T Stadium offers tours, but dates, access and tour stops depend on availability and stadium events. Self-guided tours are offered when the football field is available; group tours must be booked at least one week in advance.

Gameday Tours admit visitors three hours before the game and include access to the press conference room, a walk by the Cowboys and Cheerleaders locker rooms, and post-game field passes. For tours, the stadium says guests should park in Lot 01 or Lot 02; tours and daily parking are free.

At Globe Life Field, Arlington Trolley service may be available to guests staying at hotels in the Arlington Entertainment District. Pickup and drop-off is on the northbound lanes of Nolan Ryan Expressway between Randol Mill Road and Road to Six Flags. Service begins 2.5 hours before the game and ends 30 minutes after it.

Before you go: Tour hours, access, parking and event-day transport can vary. Check the official site before you go, using the relevant venue or operator's site for current details.
