Match-day tips
Hard-won pointers from the locals — small moves that save real time and money on match days.
- 01
Memorize your gate number before you arrive — finding it in a crowd of 80k is harder than you think.
- 02
Plan a post-match meeting point with your group — phones don't work well in the exit crowd.
- 03
Bring a portable phone charger; mobile networks slow when 80k fans use them at once.
- 04
Wear comfortable shoes — you'll walk more than you expect, even with a shuttle.
- 05
Have your ticket QR ready before reaching the gate — fumbling slows the line behind you.
- 06
Pack layers. AT&T Stadium has the roof closed in summer and runs cold inside.
