Dallas/Cowboy Stadium trip advise
 
Planning a trip to Dallas Texas next September to see the Ducks Vs LSU in Cowboy Stadium. Do we need to have a car to get around Dallas and to get to the stadium? Where is a good place to stay? Thanks!

Definitely need a car. There are a lot of hotels near the stadium.

Cowboy Stadium is in Arlington - about 15 miles from Dallas. You definitely need a car.

There was a very detailed post on this not so long ago if you search within the Texas Forum you will find this and hotel suggestions.

Agree with other posters, a car is a must. Also, best to fly into DFW as opposed to Love Field. There are really nice hotels near DFW that for the most part would get you away from the I-30/360 congestion. That is my least fave area to travel as a resident. I think it'd be more frustrating for an out-of-towner unfamiliar with the lay of the land.

That said, both Marriotts near DFW are nice. We spent a brief night at the Marriott North a few years ago before heading to our honeymoon in Antigua. The one on the south end is newer. There's an awesome newer Grand Hyatt at DFW (not to be confused with the Hyatt Regency). My sister stayed here for biz and LOVED it. www.granddfw.hyatt.com

If you wish to stay close to the stadium the Hilton Arlington would be my choice.
