Recommended Stadium Area Restaurants, Hotels, and Parking

[Trajan]

If you are in the Dallas area, or Addison to be specific, I’d recommend Nate’s Seafood and Steakhouse to watch the game. It is on restaurant row, so tons of other places around to eat. Maybe it is owned by Big Nate ?

Really love the food (Cajun) and in the bar area there are a lot of TVs.

First trip to a Cowboys game?

This is my first year since 2007 not having PSLs and my favorite way to spend a football weekend in DFW would be to stay in Grapevine at the DFW Lakes Hilton. So many good restaurants on Main Street in Grapevine (really cool town) and about a 10-minute drive from hotel. AT&T is about 30 minutes from the hotel without traffic. Pre-game at Texas Live (walking distance to stadium). Can do post-game there, too.

You can find some parking option at https://www.parkwhiz.com/

There are many-many options in the DFW area for hotels and dining. This is just one that I consistently turned to.

Wife and I went to a game about 10 years ago with a group of folks. Someone else made all the arrangements so now we have to try to figure it out. Thanks for any helpful advice. We’ll be driving up from Houston way.

I never stay in a hotel near the stadium (except once, my ex got us a bread and breakfast a few miles away). I usually stay farther North (not terribly far from the airport, but not right up on it either). They tend to be cheaper, and it means I start my drive home closer.
As for parking...do you mind much of a walk? I've been parking for free lately, with about a mile of a walk (it's $20 to $30 for parking a couple minutes into that walk). I forget if it's on Collins or Cooper (about a mile west of the stadium), but there is a little strip mall area with a Dairy Queen. It's relatively empty. I usually grab a blizzard or something from DQ and start walking. Easy peasy.

Don’t mind the walk at all. Thanks for the helpful hints.

My son and I are still undecided but we might try Hurtado BBQ.

Hurtado was an out of body experience!! Their El Jefe platter was amazing and fed both of us with leftovers. GO!

Has anyone stayed at the Omni Frisco at the Start or Gaylords during a game weekend? We are considering these hotels for a decent group of folks. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

A little help from the locals please:
We usually fly in for one game per year. We are going to the home opener this year. Staying at Hotel ZaZa (Uptown) and have our Saturday night Al Biernat's reservations already!!!

Here is the issue we always run into. We usually uber over because we don't rent a car and are too far away for walking or the shuttles. We get to the stadium early so uber'ing there isn't an issue. I hate waiting on lines. One year we uber'd to J Gilligans and took the shuttle from there figuring we would eat there after and then get an uber when the prices and lines are down. The shuttle wasn't really efficient as we had to wait a while for it and could have just walked somewhere else in the same amount of time and also I didn't love the food and unlike the lively atmosphere before the game, it was a little depressing after the game even though we won (pretty much empty). Great for those with a car who want cheaper parking, but remember we are uber'ing back to the hotel after the game.

So normally we walk somewhere after the game, get something to eat and then uber back to the hotel. All this to avoid what I heard are long uber lines after the game.

Option 1: Has anyone found that the uber lines are not very long (I assume they still have the "uber zone"? and the prices aren't nuts after the game? If so we may just try that.
Option 2: We want a better place to walk to after the game. I don't know much about "Texas Live", but it looks really cool and looks like it is only a 10 or so minute walk from the stadium. Thoguhts of going there after the game? Or another place to walk to and eat and kill some time since an early game this year?

Thanks all

Not really much around there that isn't a chain restaurant. Texas Live is at the Rangers stadium. Outdoor bar kind of setup.
