Arlington, TX – As tens of thousands of fans prepare to attend the highly anticipated Taylor Swift concert and Texas Rangers’ home games at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, officials are taking measures to alleviate heavy traffic congestion in the surrounding areas.
Arlington police are encouraging visitors to plan ahead before heading towards the city. With some street parking off-limits during events, violators will be towed. City ordinance restricts street parking during special events to protect nearby neighborhoods from noise, traffic congestion, and other issues. No-parking zones will be marked with signs.
The Texas Rangers will play their home opener at 3:05 p.m. on Thursday, while Taylor Swift will perform at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The Rangers will also play at 3:05 p.m. on Saturday and 6:08 p.m. on Sunday. Heavy traffic is expected during all four days, but Saturday and Sunday are predicted to be the most congested.
Visitors are advised to use a variety of exits and consider taking Interstate 20 to get to Arlington, traveling north towards the destination since traffic is less congested south of the district.
Two nearby restaurants offer parking and shuttles for visitors; Grease Monkey is charging $8 per person round trip, and J. Gilligan’s will offer $10 round trip tickets for adults and $5 for children aged 3 to 12.
Tips for visitors include giving yourself enough time to get to the city, purchasing parking passes beforehand, using designated drop-off and pick-up locations for rideshare services, using designated crosswalks, and adhering to the bag policies of the venues.
Parking lots for Globe Life Field and AT&T Stadium will open at different times on Saturday and Sunday, making Sunday trickier as the concert and the Rangers game start around the same time. Parking at AT&T Stadium for any of the three nights will be expensive, and there are parking restrictions during special events. It is better to get a ride, use rideshare options, or park at a nearby restaurant with shuttle services.
Clear tote bags and small clutch purses are only allowed at AT&T Stadium. Cashless payments are required at the stadium, and it is recommended to download the Dallas Cowboys app for directions and interactive maps.
Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour” is set to make three of its biggest stops yet at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX. The stadium has a seating capacity of 80,000 and is also home to the Dallas Cowboys.
The cheapest tickets for her concerts in Arlington start at $454 before fees on Vivid Seats. Celebrities like Laura Dern, Emma Watson, Shania Twain, JJ Watt, Cara Delevingne, and more have been spotted at Swift’s past concerts.
