Arlington's Entertainment District is one of the most concentrated sports-and-entertainment corridors in the country, and on Rangers game days, it shows. I-30 backs up from the Ballpark Way exit well before first pitch, surface lots fill in order of proximity, and the rideshare zone at Chatman Cutoff gets jammed the moment the final out lands. The one question every group organizer needs answered before any of that becomes their problem is simple: where exactly does the bus drop your crew, where does it park, and what does it cost?
This guide answers all of it plainly, using Globe Life Field's own published policies and the stadium's current parking map, then walks through everything else a group trip needs: which vehicle fits your headcount, what tailgating rules actually say, and how an Arlington charter bus rental turns the Entertainment District's notorious post-game gridlock into someone else's headache. We make group trips to Globe Life Field regularly — so the advice here comes from knowing how Lot D works and which approach roads close, not from a generic stadium template. For the full picture of how we handle sporting events across the Metroplex, see our Arlington sporting event transportation service.

Why Rent a Bus to Globe Life Field?
The Arlington Entertainment District does not have a forgiving traffic plan. I-30's westbound ramps back up 30 to 45 minutes after a sold-out Rangers game — and on days when AT&T Stadium one block north is also hosting an event, the backup doubles. Fans who drove in separately are sitting in that crawl while fans who arrived by charter bus are already on their way to Belo Garden or their hotel.
The gap between those two experiences is exactly why an Arlington party bus rental makes sense for any group past a few cars.
There is also the designated-driver calculation. A Rangers game that includes tailgating, cold Shiner Bock from the back of the bus, and a post-game stop at Texas Live! is a very different evening when nobody in your group is the one watching their drink count. One bus, one flat rate, and no one drawing straws at the pregame for who stays sober — that is the core logic.
We'll match the right vehicle to your group's size and schedule, confirm the Lot D bus parking arrangement in advance, and have the bus parked and waiting for pickup when the final out ends the night. Call 214-206-9269 to get an all-inclusive quote in under 30 seconds.
Charter Bus Drop-Off and Pickup at Globe Life Field
Here is the detail most rental guides skip or get wrong — so let's go straight to the stadium's own guidance.
The designated drop-off and pickup zone for buses and trolleys at Globe Life Field is on the northbound lanes of Nolan Ryan Expressway, between Randol Mill Road and Road to Six Flags. Service at that zone begins 2.5 hours before first pitch and ends 30 minutes post-game, per the Arlington Trolley operations page. That puts your group on the west side of the ballpark, within easy walking distance of the main entrances — not circling the Entertainment District looking for a gap to pull into.
The stadium's rideshare zone tells you exactly how much better that location is: Uber and Lyft pickups are restricted to Chatman Cutoff, between Stadium Drive and East Randol Mill Road. It is a workable zone, but it fills fast post-game, post-game pickups are prohibited on Randol Mill Road itself per city guidance, and surge pricing on Rangers sellouts is real — a single rideshare in that queue after a playoff game costs more than a per-head share of a full charter bus. Your group skips the app, skips the wait, and walks to a known pickup spot where the bus is already waiting.
The one-line version: bus drop-off is on the northbound Nolan Ryan Expressway between Randol Mill Road and Road to Six Flags — not the rideshare queue at Chatman Cutoff where surge pricing spikes the moment the final out lands. Confirming that zone when you book means your group never shows up at the wrong curb.
Where the Bus Parks — Lot D off Arlington Downs Road
Once your group steps off the bus at the Nolan Ryan Expressway zone, the bus needs its own designated spot — and at Globe Life Field, that means Lot D, accessed via the D7 entrance off Arlington Downs Road (address: 1905 Arlington Downs Rd). All RVs, buses, and oversized vehicles longer than 19 feet are directed to Lot D — it is the only lot that accepts them, per the Globe Life Field parking page.
The parking cost is $60 per bus for regular Rangers games, or $100 for special events and concerts. All Globe Life Field parking lots are 100% cashless — credit card, debit card, or mobile payment only, no exceptions. Bus parking must be pre-purchased or paid on entry; advance reservation through MLB Ballpark app, ParkMobile, or ParkWhiz is recommended since Lot D capacity is limited.
Buses and RVs may park when lots open and must depart by 9:00 a.m. the following morning.
The math worth knowing: a single bus parking pass at $60 replaces however many $20–$55 car parking passes your group would otherwise need. On a 40-person fan trip, that alone closes most of the gap between "everyone drives separately" and "one bus for everyone." We confirm the Lot D arrangement and approach route as part of booking, so there is no guessing at the Arlington Downs entrance on game day.
Always check the official Texas Rangers parking page before your visit to confirm current lot access and pricing.
Confirm the Plan When You Book — Here's Why
Globe Life Field's parking configuration shifts with the event. Special events and concerts can push bus parking costs from $60 to $100, reroute lot access, and change which approach roads stay open. The Arlington Entertainment District is uniquely complex because AT&T Stadium sits one block north — when both venues host events on the same day, the city implements coordinated traffic controls that affect which surface streets are passable and when.
Rangers playoff runs, major concert weekends, and the annual Big 12 Championship game at AT&T Stadium all generate this kind of overlap.
We confirm your specific event date, the current Lot D approach, and the bus drop-off zone window before your trip — because keeping up with those details is our job, not something your group should discover at the Stadium Drive intersection. We always recommend reviewing the official Globe Life Field parking page and current event-day advisories before you go.
Getting to Globe Life Field: Every Option Compared
Arlington is a car-dependent city without a light rail stop at the Entertainment District — so your group's realistic options are driving, rideshare, or a private charter bus. Here is the honest comparison for a group that wants to arrive together.
| Option | Cost shape | Arrive together? | Drop-off quality | Drinking OK? | Best group size |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private charter bus or party bus | One flat rate, split by the group | Yes — one vehicle, one arrival | Best — Nolan Ryan Expressway drop-off, steps from entrances | Yes — no designated driver needed | 15–56 |
| Rideshare (Uber / Lyft) | Per car each way + post-game surge | No — multiple cars, multiple ETAs | Chatman Cutoff zone, post-game surge and waits | Yes, but pricey per head | 1–4 per car |
| Arlington Trolley (hotel shuttle) | Included with partner hotel stay | Only if staying at a partner hotel | Good — same Nolan Ryan drop-off zone | Yes | Hotel guests only |
| Everyone drives and parks | $20–$55 per car + gas per car | No — caravans split up | Varies by lot; farther lots require a walk | No — someone drives | 1–5 per car |
The straight read: for one or two people, a rideshare to Chatman Cutoff works fine — no reason to charter a bus for a couple. But once your party reaches the size of two or three cars, the coordination cost tips toward one vehicle. Different arrival times, scattered parking passes, and the post-game Chatman Cutoff queue all disappear when your entire group boards one bus.
For groups of 15 or more, renting a bus in Arlington is almost always both simpler and cheaper per head.
The Arlington Trolley, Explained
The Arlington Trolley is a no-fare shuttle running between participating Entertainment District hotels and both Globe Life Field and AT&T Stadium. It uses the same Nolan Ryan Expressway drop-off zone as charter buses, operates from 2.5 hours pregame to 30 minutes post-game, and is genuinely useful — if your entire group is staying at a partner hotel. For groups assembled from multiple home addresses across Dallas-Fort Worth, it does not work: the trolley picks up only at designated hotel stops, and you would need to get everyone to those stops first.
A private Arlington charter bus picks up at your specific address — a subdivision in Mansfield, a bar in Fort Worth, a hotel in Las Colinas — and runs your group's schedule instead of the trolley's fixed loop. Call 214-206-9269 to confirm which vehicle fits your itinerary.
What Size Bus Does Your Group Need?
We offer a wide variety of vehicles in our fleet — meaning you never have to pay for seats you do not actually need. Here is how each vehicle type fits a Globe Life Field trip, from a small group in a Sprinter limo to a 56-person fan convoy in a full charter bus.
| Vehicle | Typical seats | Tailgate gear capacity | Best for | Key amenities |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14-passenger Sprinter limo / Sprinter van | Up to ~14 | Modest — coolers and a few bags | Small crews, suite holders, corporate groups | Premium leather, USB charging, tinted privacy windows |
| Party bus (15–50 passengers) | ~15–50 | Onboard, lighter load | Fan groups who want the pregame on the road | Built-in bar, color-changing LED lighting, Bluetooth sound, flat-panel TVs |
| 15–35 passenger minibus | ~15–35 | Overhead storage plus some underfloor | Mid-size groups, clean pickup loops from DFW hotels | Powerful A/C, plush reclining seats |
| 40–56 passenger charter bus | Up to 56 | Excellent — large undercarriage bays | Large fan groups, corporate outings, school trips | Reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restrooms, undercarriage bays |
For Rangers fan groups who want the pregame rolling the moment the bus leaves the parking lot, a 15- to 50-passenger party bus comes with a built-in bar, color-changing LED lighting, and Bluetooth sound — the energy hits well before first pitch. For larger groups or anyone hauling serious tailgate gear (folding tables, a camp grill, a 60-quart cooler), a full charter bus gives you the undercarriage bays to stow it all and an onboard restroom that makes the TX-360 drive from Fort Worth comfortable. ADA-accessible vehicles are always available — let us know your needs before your departure date and we will arrange the right fit.
Arlington Charter Bus Rental Prices for Globe Life Field
Party Bus in Arlington provides all-inclusive pricing online in under 30 seconds — you will know the exact price before you ever book. What shapes the quote is a short list of clear variables: the vehicle size your group needs, the total hours the bus is reserved (including pregame and any post-game stops at Texas Live! or Twin Peaks), the date and game type (a regular-season Tuesday prices differently than a playoff home game), and your pickup location across the Metroplex.
For real ranges to anchor your planning: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run $170–$344/hour; 15–20 passenger party buses run $204–$378/hour; 20–30 passenger party buses run $244–$414/hour; 35–50 passenger party buses and minibuses run $294–$490/hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day. Note that the Lot D bus parking cost ($60 for Rangers games, $100 for special events) is a separate, pre-purchased expense at the stadium lot. Call 214-206-9269 for a free, all-inclusive quote — or use our online tool for instant availability.
Here is the per-person math that usually settles the debate. A 40-passenger party bus for a 6-hour Rangers night game rental — pickup in Fort Worth, drop-off on Nolan Ryan Expressway, post-game stop at Texas Live!, return run — at $300/hour runs $1,800 total. Split across 40 fans, that is $45 per person, which is less than most fans spend on a single round of parking plus Uber surge home.
The group stays together all night, nobody navigates I-30 on the way back, and the pregame bar on the bus costs a fraction of what it would inside the ballpark.
A Real Game-Day Example
For a September Rangers home game last season, a 36-person fan group out of Fort Worth booked a 40-passenger party bus. Pickup at 4:30 PM from a Fairmount neighborhood parking lot, on the Nolan Ryan Expressway drop-off by 5:15 PM — two hours before the 7:05 PM first pitch. The undercarriage bays held a camp grill, a folding table, and two coolers for the Lot D tailgate.
The group grilled through the 2nd inning cutoff, walked to the Third Base entrance, and the bus waited in Lot D through the game. Post-game pickup on Nolan Ryan at 10:30 PM, a stop at Revolver Brewing in Fort Worth, and everyone home by midnight. The 7-hour all-inclusive rental came to $2,100 — about $58 per person, parking not included.
Getting There: Traffic, Routes, and Timing
Globe Life Field sits in the heart of the Arlington Entertainment District, directly off the I-30/TX-360 interchange — one of the busiest freeway nodes in the Metroplex. Approximate drive times from common Metroplex pickup points before event traffic:
| From… | Approx. distance | Typical drive time (off-peak) |
|---|---|---|
| Downtown Fort Worth | ~17 miles | 20–28 minutes |
| Downtown Dallas | ~20 miles | 22–32 minutes |
| DFW International Airport | ~13 miles | 18–26 minutes |
| Irving / Las Colinas | ~14 miles | 18–24 minutes |
| Plano / Frisco | ~30–36 miles | 38–50 minutes |
| Grand Prairie | ~8 miles | 12–18 minutes |
Those times balloon on sellouts. I-30 backs up 30 to 45 minutes post-game on a packed Rangers night, and when AT&T Stadium one block north is also hosting an event, that crawl spreads east to the Lamar Boulevard exit and north on TX-360. The local workaround is Chatman Cutoff — Randol Mill Road east through the Entertainment District side streets, bypassing the worst I-30 ramps for the first 10 to 15 minutes post-game.
We build the approach route around the day's event calendar, factor in your tailgate window, and have the bus right there waiting when you are ready to leave — while everyone else is still trying to find their cars in Sienna Lot M. Arriving three hours before first pitch for a full tailgate is the move; for playoff games or nationally televised home games, build in an extra half hour on top of that.
Tailgating at Globe Life Field: The Rules
The Rangers have a legitimate tailgate culture, and a charter bus is the ideal vehicle for it — the undercarriage bays swallow grills, coolers, and folding tables, and the tailgate starts the moment your bus pulls out of the lot. Before you set up on Arlington Downs, here is what the stadium's published tailgating guidelines actually say:
- Permitted lots only. Tailgating is allowed in most Rangers parking lots but is prohibited in Lots A, B, and T. All tailgating setup must be in grassy areas surrounding the parking lots — not in the actual paved parking spaces.
- Charcoal and gas grills are both permitted. Open flame fires of any kind are prohibited, and deep fryers or oil-based cooking are not allowed. Coals must go in the designated coal containers located throughout the lots — no dumping on grass or under vehicles.
- Time limits apply. Tailgating is permitted from lot opening until the end of the 2nd inning. Post-game, tailgating is allowed for up to one hour after the final out.
- No glass. In the tailgate area, no glass containers are permitted for safety reasons.
- Lot D rules for bus groups. Since Lot D is the designated bus and oversized vehicle lot off Arlington Downs Road, confirm with stadium staff on arrival whether setup is permitted in the grassy buffer adjacent to that lot — it varies by event.
One thing worth knowing about concerts and special events: tailgating rules tighten for non-baseball events at Globe Life Field. Stadium concerts with the retractable roof closed shift the lot-use pattern entirely, and some non-baseball events eliminate tailgating in specific lots. When you book, we confirm what is permitted for your specific event date so your group plans the right setup and does not haul a grill that turns out to be unavailable.
Check the official Texas Rangers A-to-Z guide before your visit for the most current policies.
Bag Policy at Globe Life Field
Globe Life Field's bag policy is worth knowing before your group heads to the gates — especially if you are arriving by charter bus and storing most gear in the undercarriage bays.
- Soft-sided bags up to 16" x 16" x 8" are permitted and do not need to be clear, per the official bag policy page. Clear tote bags within that size limit are also fine.
- Small clutch purses no larger than 9" x 5" are allowed.
- All backpacks and coolers of any kind are prohibited inside the stadium gates.
- Outside food is permitted in a sealed, clear quart-sized plastic bag. One sealed bottle of non-flavored water up to one liter is allowed per person.
- Single-compartment drawstring bags and manufactured diaper bags are permitted; diaper bags are subject to a thorough search.
For a bus group, this plays out cleanly: coolers, backpacks, and anything oversized stay in the undercarriage bays during the game, and each person carries only what fits within the bag-size rules. No one is lugging a 48-quart Yeti through the Third Base gate.
What's Happening at Globe Life Field in 2026
Globe Life Field runs a relentless calendar — 81 Texas Rangers home games from April through September, plus concerts and special events year-round under the largest single-panel retractable roof in the world. The venue's 40,300-seat baseball capacity expands to over 48,000 for concerts when field seating is added. Here are the dates and events that drive the most group transportation demand in 2026:
- Texas Rangers 2026 Home Opener: April 3 vs. Cincinnati Reds, 3:05 PM CT. Opening Day in Arlington is a sellout-guaranteed event. Lot D fills early, the Entertainment District is packed from noon, and I-30 congestion begins well before the listed lot-opening time. Book your Arlington charter bus by February for the home opener — vehicles for that date go fast.
- Rangers home season, April through September. The 81-game slate covers 5+ months at Globe Life Field. Weekend games against division rivals — the Astros, Mariners, and Athletics — draw the biggest non-holiday crowds, with Friday and Saturday lots filling to capacity 90 minutes before first pitch.
- Globe Life Field concerts. With its retractable roof, the stadium hosts major stadium-scale tours year-round. When a headline concert is booked into Globe Life Field, the Entertainment District's parking grid tightens to baseball sellout levels, and the Lot D bus parking at $100 per vehicle applies. Watch the official Globe Life Field events page for concert announcements and book transportation the moment your ticket purchase is confirmed.
- Rangers playoff games (October, if applicable). The Rangers won the 2023 World Series and are a perennial postseason contender. Playoff home games at Globe Life Field sell out within hours, lot pricing escalates significantly, and the city implements enhanced traffic control across the Entertainment District. Charter bus reservation supply tightens at the same pace ticket demand does — book as soon as playoff clinching is confirmed.
- College baseball at Globe Life Field. Globe Life Field hosts the annual College Baseball Classic and other marquee college events. These draw regional group travel — family and alumni parties, school athletic department shuttles — that compete for the same Lot D bus parking spaces as Rangers games.
Whichever event brings your group to Arlington, the booking logic is identical: lock it in early. Call 214-206-9269 once your date is set.
Flying Into DFW? Airport to Globe Life Field, Explained
For groups flying in from out of state — college fans following the Rangers on the road, corporate groups, wedding weekends that include a Rangers game — the airport-to-stadium transfer is the trip that sets the tone for everything that follows. DFW International Airport (2400 Aviation Dr, DFW Airport, TX 75261) sits about 13 miles northeast of Globe Life Field, a 18- to 26-minute drive in normal traffic via TX-360 South. Dallas Love Field (8008 Herb Kelleher Way, Dallas, TX 75235) is about 20 miles east, approximately 28 to 38 minutes via I-30 West.
Both airports are clean single-pickup origins for a charter bus run: one vehicle collects your whole group at baggage claim — no coordinating multiple rideshares across two terminals — and runs straight to Globe Life Field or the hotel first. For groups landing at DFW with tailgate gear, a full charter bus gives you the undercarriage bays to stow everything from the curb to Lot D. We handle DFW airport transfers as part of our Arlington airport transportation service, and we confirm the approach route from whichever terminal your group lands in.
For groups staying in the Entertainment District, Texas Live! — the attached entertainment complex immediately north of Globe Life Field — is a popular pre- and post-game gathering point. A bus that picks your hotel group up, drops at the Nolan Ryan zone for the game, and swings back to Texas Live! for post-game solves the whole day in one booking.
Trip Types We Coordinate to Globe Life Field
Different groups, same outcome: everyone arrives together, nobody navigates the I-30 ramp, and the bus is waiting for pickup when the game ends. The most common runs we handle:
- Fan groups and tailgaters. Large-scale fan travel from Fort Worth, Dallas, or the suburbs — a party bus with a built-in bar and Bluetooth sound turns the drive over TX-360 into the official pregame. The tailgate continues in Lot D, and the bus is waiting on Nolan Ryan when the final out drops.
- Corporate and suite groups. Moving clients and staff from downtown Dallas or DFW-area hotels to a club seat or suite at Globe Life Field — a minibus handles it without anyone worrying about parking availability in Lot B at $55 per space or the post-game I-30 crawl.
- Out-of-town fan groups flying in. One coordinated DFW airport pickup, straight to the hotel or the ballpark, returned post-game — no rental car logistics, no rideshare coordination across a scattered group.
- Birthday and milestone celebration groups. A Rangers game that doubles as a 30th, 40th, or 50th birthday — the party starts on the bus, the tailgate happens in Lot D, and the post-game celebration continues at the venue of your choice. See our Arlington birthday party bus rental service.
- Prom and school groups. Field trips to Globe Life Field — stadium tours, college baseball, youth baseball showcases — where one bus keeps the headcount clean and the parents confident. We coordinate these as part of our Arlington school event bus rental service.
- Concert groups. Stadium-scale shows at Globe Life Field where the lot fills at concert pricing and I-30 runs standstill post-show — a charter bus drops your crew at the Nolan Ryan zone and picks everyone up when the encore ends.
Booking, Tailgate Timing, and Post-Game Pickup
Booking a bus to Globe Life Field is straightforward. Here is how it goes:
- Request a quote with your group size, pickup location, event date, and how much tailgate time you want before first pitch.
- Confirm the vehicle, the drop-off zone, and Lot D parking. We lock in the right vehicle, verify the current drop-off window on Nolan Ryan Expressway, and confirm whether your event uses $60 or $100 Lot D pricing.
- Set your post-game pickup window. Agree on a clear pickup spot and time before the group ever splits up at the gates — the bus is parked and waiting when you walk out, not circling Chatman Cutoff in post-game traffic.
A few timing questions we hear constantly: how early should the bus arrive? For a full Lot D tailgate, lots open two hours before first pitch — factor in travel time and plan your pickup accordingly. For weekend sellouts and the home opener, arrive closer to three hours pregame.
Can the bus wait during the game? Yes — the bus is reserved as a block of hours and waits in Lot D through the game, with the undercarriage bays holding your tailgate gear. What about post-game stops?
Texas Live!, Twin Peaks on Collins Street, or anywhere in Fort Worth — just tell us your itinerary when you book and we plan the route around it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly does a charter bus drop off at Globe Life Field?
The designated drop-off and pickup zone for buses and trolleys is on the northbound lanes of Nolan Ryan Expressway, between Randol Mill Road and Road to Six Flags, on the west side of the stadium. The zone operates from 2.5 hours before first pitch to 30 minutes post-game. That is a different location from the rideshare zone at Chatman Cutoff — and a significantly more convenient one for large groups.
Where do buses park at Globe Life Field?
All buses and oversized vehicles longer than 19 feet are required to park in Lot D, accessed via the D7 entrance off Arlington Downs Road (approximately 1905 Arlington Downs Rd). Lot D is the only lot at Globe Life Field designated for buses — no other lot accepts oversized vehicles. The parking rate is $60 for regular Rangers games and $100 for special events and concerts.
All lots are cashless; advance purchase via MLB Ballpark app, ParkMobile, or ParkWhiz is recommended since capacity is limited. See the official Globe Life Field parking page for current details and the lot map.
How much does it cost to rent a bus to Globe Life Field?
Pricing depends on vehicle size, total hours reserved (including tailgate time and post-game staging), the game or event date, and your pickup location. As a guide: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run $170–$344/hour; 15–20 passenger party buses run $204–$378/hour; 20–30 passenger party buses run $244–$414/hour; 35–50 passenger party buses and minibuses run $294–$490/hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day. The Lot D bus parking cost ($60 regular games, $100 special events) is separate.
Call 214-206-9269 or use our online tool for an all-inclusive quote in under 30 seconds.
Is tailgating allowed at Globe Life Field?
Yes, for most Rangers games. Tailgating is permitted in designated lots from when lots open until the end of the 2nd inning, and post-game for up to one hour after the final out. It is prohibited in Lots A, B, and T, and setup must be in grassy areas — not paved spaces.
Charcoal and gas grills are both allowed; open fires and deep fryers are not. No glass containers in the tailgate area. Rules for concerts and special events differ, so confirm for your specific date.
See the official Globe Life Field tailgating page for current rules.
What is the bag policy at Globe Life Field?
Soft-sided bags up to 16" x 16" x 8" are permitted (clear bags within that size are also fine). Small clutch purses no larger than 9" x 5" are allowed. All backpacks and coolers of any kind are prohibited inside the gates.
Outside food is permitted in a sealed, clear quart-sized bag, and one sealed non-flavored water bottle up to one liter is allowed per person. See the official bag policy page for the full current list.
Can a charter bus get from DFW Airport to Globe Life Field?
Yes. DFW International Airport is about 13 miles from Globe Life Field — an 18- to 26-minute drive via TX-360 South in normal traffic. One bus picks your whole group up at baggage claim and runs straight to the stadium or to your hotel first.
Dallas Love Field is about 20 miles east via I-30 West. We coordinate DFW and Love Field airport transfers as part of our Arlington airport transportation service.
When should I book a bus for Rangers playoff games or a concert at Globe Life Field?
As early as your date is confirmed. Playoff home games and major concerts draw group transportation demand that mirrors ticket demand — when Rangers playoff tickets sell out in hours, the right-size vehicles book at the same pace. For regular-season games, two to four weeks of lead time is usually workable.
For Opening Day (April 3), the home opener, and any nationally televised Saturday night game, book by February. Call 214-206-9269 the moment your date is locked.
Do you have ADA-accessible buses?
Yes — ADA-accessible vehicles are always available. Let us know your specific needs before your departure date and we will arrange the right vehicle from our fleet.
Can the bus take us to AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field on the same trip?
Absolutely. The two stadiums are one block apart in the Entertainment District — a multi-stop Arlington itinerary that swings between both venues, adds Texas Live!, or loops in a Fort Worth pregame bar is exactly the kind of custom route we build at booking. Tell us every stop you want and we plan the route around it.
