1. Fifteen Miles
Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport to Texas Stadium - Google Maps


2. There are plenty of Nice hotels Nearby the Stadium or in the general area. Stay in one
with a recommended name. Do not use the Noname/No tell Hotel brand. You can do
a google search for hotels within your price range.

3.) Depends on what you like, but I would recommend the Dallas jfk 6th floor museum
or any of the Museums in Fort Worth.

4.) Areas to Avoid: Any place anyone else would feel uncomfortable being in.
The area around Fair Park, just directly south of Dallas had an incident this last
week that caused some conflict.

Stay in downtown Fort Worth! It's only 15 miles away, and there are lots of great restaurants and shops. The AFC Super Bowl team stayed there, and ESPN had their broadcast center there. Sundance Square - Located in the Heart of Downtown Fort Worth

Uhhhh Rocky.... that map goes to the left over hole in the dome lot. At least on my non-buffered pc.

crv1010, about 12 twelve miles, 15 minutes. Take the south exit from DFW, to Hwy 183 towards Fort Worth, for a couple of miles then Hwy 360 South towards Arlington. You'll see Six Flags and the stadium by time you get to I-30. There will be signs to stadium parking... south of I-30.

Google maps > Dfw Airport Hotel, West Airport Freeway, Irving, TX to Cowboys Gameday Parking, Stadium Drive East, Arlington, TX
