AT&T Stadium
Arlington, TX · Stadium
AT&T Stadium uses the NFL clear bag policy, and it holds for everything in the building, Cowboys games, concerts, and the big one-off events. Bring a clear bag inside the size limit or a small clutch and you move through the gates fast. This is the giant retractable-roof stadium in Arlington, so plan for a long walk in from the lots. Pack the wrong bag and security sends you back to the car. Here is exactly what gets in at AT&T Stadium and what stays behind.
