Can I tailgate at AT&T Stadium for the World Cup?
Stadium lots traditionally allow tailgating, but FIFA may set specific rules for World Cup 2026. Confirm closer to match day.

Official lots fill and surge on match days. Off-site park-and-ride with a shuttle is cheaper and avoids the post-match exit jam.
