Getting There

Parking

🚌
Public Transit
DART's Red and Orange lines stop at Mockingbird Station, about a mile south of the stadium, making it a viable 20-minute walk or quick rideshare hop.
⚡
PRO TIP
Use the Mockingbird DART station and grab a short rideshare to avoid campus parking headaches entirely.
