Planning a stadium visit in Arlington sounds simple until you see how many ways there are to do it. AT&T Stadium Tours includes guided, self-guided, Rally Day and game-day formats, and the best choice depends less on a generic idea of the “best” tour than on what you want to see.
We have built this guide around the decisions that actually affect the day: whether you want a host, whether your visit is tied to a Cowboys home game, how much behind-the-scenes access matters and whether your group needs a flexible pace. Use the steps below, then check the current AT&T Stadium Tours options before booking.

The short version
- Rally Day VIP Guided Tour + Dallas Cowboys Locker Room suits fans who want guided access and a pre-game atmosphere.
- Rally Day VIP Guided Tour + Jerry Jones Experience adds the interactive exhibit when that experience is scheduled.
- Self Guided Tour is the flexible option for seeing popular areas at your own pace.
- Gameday Tours fit visitors building the tour around a Cowboys game and game-day-only access.
- Tour stops, field access, dates and pricing can change, so confirm the current listing before you travel.
Start with your day
The calendar should be your first filter. Rally Days take place around selected Dallas Cowboys home-game weekends and add activities beyond the stadium walk, including Miller LiteHouse access, games, food and beverage opportunities, live entertainment and autograph opportunities. The Rally Days listing is the page to check for current dates and ticket formats.
If your trip already includes a game, Gameday Tours make the stadium part of the main event rather than a separate sightseeing stop. The published route describes the players’ tunnel, the postgame press conference room, the Cheerleaders’ locker room, warm-up viewing from the Field Club and a postgame field pass. Availability is tied to the game-day schedule, so this is the most itinerary-dependent choice.
Match the access
Next, decide whether you want a guided narrative or room to move independently. A guided tour gives your group a host and a planned sequence of stops. The Rally Day VIP Guided Tour + Dallas Cowboys Locker Room is the focused pick for visitors who want the press box, club areas, a suite, the field when available and the added locker-room stop subject to the Rally Day schedule.
For a different kind of access, the Rally Day VIP Guided Tour + Jerry Jones Experience pairs the guided route with the interactive technology exhibit about the Dallas Cowboys owner, president and general manager. It makes sense for returning fans or mixed-interest groups who want Cowboys history with a technology-led attraction.
| Option | Best fit | Notable access | Check before booking |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rally Day VIP Guided Tour + Locker Room | Pre-game fans | Guided route plus locker-room stop | Morning schedule and availability |
| Rally Day VIP Guided Tour + Jerry Jones Experience | History and technology fans | Guided route plus interactive exhibit | Selected Rally Day times |
| Self Guided Tour | Flexible visitors | Popular stadium areas at your pace | Limited availability |
| Gameday Tours | Game-day itineraries | Tunnel, press room and Field Club | Game schedule and tour terms |
This comparison is about fit, not a permanent ranking. Current price is driven by the format, date, access and extras, and the official pages can change what is available. Use the table to narrow the choice, then open the relevant listing for the live details.
Build the practical plan
- Check the date first. Rally Day and Gameday Tours depend on event timing, while standard tour availability can also shift around stadium activity.
- Choose guided or self-guided. Pick a host-led route when context matters; choose Self Guided Tour when your group values flexibility.
- Confirm the access promise. Field, locker-room and other locations are subject to availability, so treat them as planned possibilities rather than guarantees.
- Read the visit rules. Comfortable walking shoes are sensible, bags can be searched, and Rally Day uses the applicable clear-bag policy.
The FAQ also says still photography is allowed but video recording is not, and accessibility assistance can be arranged with the tour team. Spanish tours may be available on request. If you are organising a group, use the official tour information page before making travel arrangements.
Where the range works
- There is a clear route for Cowboys-first visitors, curious travellers and flexible groups.
- Rally Days add social activities around a guided stadium experience.
- Gameday Tours connect the building to the live event schedule.
- The art collection and interactive attractions broaden the day beyond football.
Where plans need care
- Tour locations, field access and dates are not guaranteed.
- Rally Day extras can depend on the event schedule and ticket type.
- Self-guided availability is limited, so it is not always the fallback option.
- Walking, bag checks and event-day rules affect the practical experience.
For a broader Dallas itinerary, the official tour page also references CityPASS access to a VIP Guided Tour alongside other attractions. Treat that as a separate planning route and verify the current terms before relying on it. The key is to choose one main reason for the visit, then select the format that supports it.
Summing up
AT&T Stadium Tours is the natural choice when you want the official stadium setting and several ways to shape the visit. We would start with Rally Day for a pre-game atmosphere, Gameday Tours for event access, or Self Guided Tour for a more flexible itinerary.
The honest limitation is that availability and tour stops can move with the stadium calendar. Check the live listing, confirm the access you care about and then choose the format that matches your day.
