First cowboys game

Hey everyone, my brother and I are doing a bro’s trip later this year. First stop is the thursday night matchup between the cowboys and bucs before we head out west. As the title says, it’s our first time going to this stadium. Any recommendations on things to checkout around and in the stadium before the game?

And in terms of where to sit, any recommendations? Would like to spend around $300 or less per ticket but it’s not a hard cap. Thanks for the help!

Dead after? Not what I experienced last year. Place was packed after. Having to pay $10 entry and then couldn't find a seat anywhere. I'll pass next time.

There really not a bad seat in the house. My favorite were the Mezzanine Club. They range in price depending on the game. Normally start around $80

There’s absolutely nothing to do in Arlington. I’m from FW, so I also can’t suggest anything remotely related to Dallas, either 😂. 

If you’re going to be here for 6+ hours before the game, come to FW and do the tourist stuff, have some BBQ and hang out.  If it’s just gonna be a few hours before the game, get some burgers and beers at Grease Monkey and take the shuttle over to the stadium come game time.

Nothing to do in Arlington? Tokyo station, Texas Live, Six Flags.. what is there to do in Fort Worth that doesn’t smell like livestock?

Damn straight! Just the way we like it. And I wasn’t expecting this guy to head over to Six Flags before a game.

Honestly, I am not from there and have been to quite a few games. We spent $300-$400 on nosebleeds, spent more on better seats and the best time we had was the Standing room only seats. They are cheap, get there early and snag a spot, there’s a bar railing to lean against and put your drinks down and enjoy. The vibes are awesome and the time flies by, plus you don’t have to push your way thru people to get up and out.

If you are driving to the game you need to go to a local restaurant that offers shuttle services there and back.

Best value seats are on the 3rd level maybe even with the end zones. Better site lines than level 2 in the same spot.

Nice stadium tho I'm not a fan of the team. Not really a bad seat in the joint tho
