OT: Going to a Cowboys game

[CEO2044]

Trying to plan a trip to a Cowboys game- any recs on places to stay semi-close to the stadium, things to do while in the area, etc.

I'd really like to look around Dallas after we land before heading to Arlington if possible, but not sure where to store our luggage. Anyone done this?

Thanks in advance.

We went to the Dallas-Detroit game the day after Christmas this past season...

We stayed in Grand Prairie and took an Uber to and from the game. There are some nice hotels and a few restaurants within walking distance (Long walking distance) of the stadium, however. We went and spent the next day in Dallas and just found a hotel in downtime Dallas via internet that was the best price/location. Plenty to choose from. We went to a couple of places that were pretty cool that night in Uptown. Grimaldi's for dinner (there are a ton of restaurants in that vicinity) and The Rustic for drinks and live music. Hope this helps a little.

Wifey and I are making our first trip for the Chiefs game. Staying at the Comfort Suites Arlington. Got good prices on tickets and hotel but made the reservations and bought tickets back in May.

Just went on a trip to Dallas with a group of football players this summer and took the VIP stadium tour. There is a great Sheraton hotel with awesome pool setup there. If you can go a day or two before, the tour was awesome. We were the last tour of the day, so they let the kids play two hand touch football on the field for about a half hour afterwards. Pretty awesome experience. Those high school kids will remember that forever.

We attended two games last year. We were Cowboys fans pre-Dak but now it makes it even more exciting. Arlington has a ton of hotels but only a handful within walking distance. There is not a lot to do in Arlington but the Stock Yards in Fort Worth is cool if you've never been. Cowboys games are an event and there is always live music, food and beer outside the stadium. We always hit up Tailgate Tavern pregame Humperdinks Brew Pub post game, TT is directly across the street from the stadium. But get there early as well....PM me for more suggestions....
