GETTING THERE

ARRIVAL & TRANSPORT

DFW International is the primary airport (≈30 min from downtown, ≈20 min from Arlington). Dallas Love Field (DAL) serves domestic routes. DART light rail reaches downtown but does not reach the stadium — plan for Uber/Lyft or a shuttle on match days. Arlington has no rail link; budget 45–75 min in match-day traffic.

For intercity travel between Dallas and other host cities, see the city-to-city travel guide.

WHERE TO STAY

NEIGHBORHOODS

Uptown Dallas and Downtown for nightlife; Arlington or Grapevine for stadium proximity; Plano/Frisco for quieter, cheaper options 25–40 min north. Expect nightly rates of $220–$450 during match windows — book 4+ months out.
