Charter Bus Parking & Dropoff Guide to Southlake Sports Venues & Arenas
Southlake
AT&T Stadium (Home of the Dallas Cowboys)
Forget splitting your group into multiple cars or paying surge-priced rideshare rates when heading down to Arlington for a Cowboys game or major concert at AT&T Stadium. Located just 25 minutes south of Southlake, this massive 80,000-seat venue is a breeze to visit when you ride together in a private bus!
Major Roadways to AT&T Stadium
Traveling from Southlake to Arlington is straightforward when your driver knows the best stadium corridors. Most groups head east on SH 114 to SH 121 South and merge onto SH 360 South, which feeds directly into the Arlington Entertainment District. You can also take FM 157 (Collins Street) or I-30 (Tom Landry Freeway) to reach Randol Mill Road and Division Street for direct stadium lot access.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at AT&T Stadium
Active passenger drop-off at AT&T Stadium takes place on the north side of Randol Mill Road in Lot 1 or on the south side of Cowboys Way in Lot 6. Compact rides like a 15-passenger minibus or a sprinter van with a driver navigate these drop-off loops best. After the final whistle, your group will meet your driver at the designated pickup zone outside the Miller LiteHouse entrance near North Collins Street and Cowboys Way.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at AT&T Stadium
If you want your bus to stay on site so your group can tailgate, designated oversized vehicle and charter bus parking is located in Lot 14 and Lot 15 off Randol Mill Road. Bus parking passes are paid on the day of the event upon arrival, as advance reservations are not required for those specific bus lots. Tailgating is only allowed in designated spaces along the perimeter of Lots 14 and 15. If your bus isn't staying to tailgate, your driver will stage off-site and return when you're ready!
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Arlington police close portions of Collins Street, Division Street, and Cowboys Way to through-traffic roughly two hours before kickoff and an hour after events wrap up. Because dual events with neighboring Globe Life Field can cause heavy gridlock along Randol Mill Road and Legends Way, plan to depart Southlake early so your group arrives at least 90 minutes before game time.
American Airlines Center (Home of the Dallas Mavericks and the Dallas Stars)
Through our network of independent Texas bus providers, catching a Mavericks basketball game or Stars hockey match at American Airlines Center has never been easier! Situated in Uptown Dallas's Victory Park district about 30 minutes southeast of Southlake, this busy arena is best tackled with a dedicated driver handling the downtown gridlock.
Major Roadways to American Airlines Center
From Southlake, your driver will take SH 114 East straight into I-35E South (Stemmons Freeway), which serves as the primary artery into Victory Park. From there, Victory Avenue, Olive Street, and North Houston Street lead directly to the arena.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at American Airlines Center
American Airlines Center provides active passenger loading and unloading zones directly along Victory Avenue near the Silver Garage. Because Dallas enforces a strict five-minute anti-idling ordinance and curb space fills up fast, your whole group should be ready to step off immediately upon arrival and gather together before requesting post-game pickup.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at American Airlines Center
Standard parking garages around Victory Park have low vertical clearances that cannot accommodate full-size 56-passenger charter buses or high-roof party buses. Instead, oversized vehicles and motorcoaches park in the designated M-Lot or the Inspiration Lot just across Victory Avenue. Additional bus staging is available along North Houston Street or in overflow surface lots north of the arena. Keep in mind that tailgating is strictly prohibited across all American Airlines Center parking lots 24/7.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Weekday evening games overlap directly with rush hour along SH 114 and I-35E, so building an extra 30 to 45 minutes into your Southlake departure schedule is a must. The Dallas Police Department also enforces temporary street closures along Victory Avenue and North Houston Street about one hour before tip-off or puck drop and for an hour after the final buzzer to protect pedestrian flow. Once you book online, a confirmation department calls you to lock in your exact Victory Park meetup spot!
Toyota Stadium (Home of FC Dallas)
Don't stress over tollway traffic when heading north to Frisco for an FC Dallas soccer match or the FCS Championship at Toyota Stadium. Renting a private bus from Southlake keeps your whole soccer club or fan group together for the 35-minute ride!
Major Roadways to Toyota Stadium
Groups departing Southlake typically take SH 114 East to SH 121 North (Sam Rayburn Tollway) and merge onto the Dallas North Tollway (DNT) North. Exit at Main Street or Eldorado Parkway in Frisco to reach World Cup Way and Frisco Street.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Toyota Stadium
Your driver can drop passengers off along World Cup Way near the North Gate or along Frisco Street on the east side of the complex. Make sure your entire group is gathered outside the gates before texting your driver for post-match pickup so loading stays quick and smooth.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Toyota Stadium
Toyota Stadium is surrounded by expansive flat surface lots that easily accommodate oversized vehicles, 25-passenger minibuses, and full-size motorcoaches without garage height worries. Buses are typically directed to park in the Red Lot north of Main Street or the Blue Lot off Frisco Street, where pre-game tailgating is permitted in designated areas before the match.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Segments of World Cup Way and Technology Drive immediately bordering the stadium close to general vehicle traffic on match days. Expect heavy congestion at the Dallas North Tollway and Main Street interchange starting 60 minutes before kickoff.
