Texas Stadium Parking

mickey6618 · November 22, 2004

My husband somehow got us tickets to the Cowboys/Bears game on Thanksgiving. (He's wonderful I know.) We've never been to Texas Stadium. Can someone give me an idea about parking and how much. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

The reasonably priced parking isn't that close to the stadium, but if you want to tailgate, the people are generally friendly out there. I forgot how much it is though. There is good parking right over the overpass from the stadium, but I'm afraid that might be a little expensive. If you don't want as long a walk, then it might be worth it. I don't mind the walking though, it's exercise, which none of us get enough of anyway.

Stay in your seat for halftime because Destiny's Child will perform and my wife's dance students are going to be dancing with them.

Parking nearest the overpass is Red ticket parking. Cash parking is further out on the North side of 114 and has been 12 dollars for several years. The walk isn't that bad if the weather is good (which it will be).

Be sure to get there with plent of time ... like 3 hours or so.

Thanks for the advice. I'm stoked about the game. This will be my first pro ball game.

Exit Carl Rd. off of 183 and head north. You will deadend in to Northgate. Turn right on Northgate and park for free along the curb. You just have to walk up and over the overpass and enter the stadium on the western side. It's free and about as long a walk as the $12.00 lots.

The atmosphere will be great as long as it is a good game. Texas Stadium looks like an eyesore from the outside but is pretty cool inside. The overall crowd size and noise will be impressive if you are used to North Texas games.

The biggest drawback is all the TV timeouts. They really slow down the game in person. The other drawback is Rowdy, he sucks.

Great advice Lifer, how safe is that area?

The area is very safe. Many people park over there and walk, so get there somewhat early. It is right by the UD campus. I've done it for years and never had any problem, plus it's easy in and out.
