Getting there
Take I-30 to Nolan Ryan Expressway (TX-360) or Collins Street exits. On-site lots (Lot 1–Lot 14) cost $50–$100+; arrive 2+ hours early. Road Warrior Parking and nearby surface lots offer cheaper pre-purchased alternatives. Post-match gridlock on I-30 can last 60–90 minutes.
Uber/Lyft designated drop-off is on AT&T Way near Gate A. Pick-up zones shift post-match to Randol Mill Road staging areas. Expect 2–3× surge pricing immediately after final whistle; walking 10–15 minutes away before requesting significantly reduces cost.
