Dallas Travel Forum

New to the area and will be attending my first Cowboys/Patriots game on Oct 14th.
I'll have a car so:
1.If I drive there I'm suppose to go to gate 9,Ill be in section 133.
Whats a good time to arrive there and is parking available near the gate?
I have a handicap Parking permit so I cant walk too far.

2.Is there a shuttle available for this event? Ill be staying at a hotel off
W.airport freeway about 9 miles.

I recommend getting in touch with the stadium directly for this info. You can find their e-mail address here. Enjoy the game, watch for personal video cameras on the field, LOL.

I agree with Griff... give them a shout...on page http://www.dallascowboys.com/stadium_fanInfo.cfm it says that the "accessible parking" is located at Gate 6, but when you look at the seating map at http://www.dallascowboys.com/stadium_seatMap_2008.cfm , you'll see that section 133 is pretty far away.

Anyway, looking at the same page suggests that you call (972) 785-5000 for info on accessible seating - I assume this refers to seating for wheelchair-bound and the like which I guess you are not, but surely they would be able to intelligently talk with you about your situation.

DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) no longer provides shuttles for Cowboys home games; you might peruse the Cowboys website to see if you find something else...but since we in Texas live and die by the car, I think Griff's advice is best: call the stadium and talk through your situation with them...

They may have golf cart service for you also. It is a very full service stadium

Jerry Jones has lots of money - he should be able to afford a full-service stadium ;-) Wasn't the Cowboys franchise just listed as the NFL's most valuable franchise? Now, if they could just play football ;-)

Bill

Ha ha. Thay may have moved the golf carts to the New Stadium

Thanks a lot guys, really appreciate this.
I'm not in a wheelchair as I can walk a distance.
Any other ideas please send it directly to me at Daveyjones1@juno.com. or ill catch it on here.

It was actually just rated as the most valuable franchise period, spanning all major sports (with the exception of NASCAR and F1, which I do not consider sports).

Must have been a Dallas paper doing that.

Griff, look at the date on your webpage - 2004(!)

Look at http://www.forbes.com/business/2007/09/13/dallas-cowboys-stadium-biz-07nfl_cx_mo_0913nflintro.html for a more up-to-date assessment of relative value...

Got it. I even asked for 2007, good for them
