Game-Day Logistics

Dallas Stadium is in Arlington, roughly 20 miles west of downtown Dallas. There's no direct rail to the stadium, so plan ahead: official event shuttles, rideshare zones, and pre-booked parking are your best options, and traffic builds early on match days. Note that World Cup parking operations differ from normal NFL game days, so leave extra time.

On non-match days, the multi-week FIFA Fan Festival in Dallas brings watch parties, concerts, and a sea of international colors — the heartbeat of the tournament between fixtures.

After the Match: Trinity Groves Is Calling

Here's what visiting fans figure out quickly: Arlington is where you watch the football, but Dallas is where you celebrate it. And few places in the city do celebration better than Winsome Prime in Trinity Groves — the buzzing restaurant district at the foot of the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, just minutes from downtown with one of the best skyline views in Texas.

The Dallas sibling to our original Houston location, Winsome Prime brings together prime steaks, fresh sushi, and Southern-inspired plates with international influence — fitting for a summer when the whole world is in town. Signatures include the Hawaiian Ribeye, the Snapper Orleans, and handcrafted cocktails like the Sidecar Royale.

How to work us into your match-week itinerary:

Early kickoff? Long dinner. The Argentina vs. Austria match on June 22 and the June 30 Round of 32 game both kick off at noon — meaning you'll be back in Dallas by early evening with a victory (hopefully) to toast.

Winsome Hour, Monday–Friday, 4–7 PM. Walk-ins only at the bar and cocktail lounge: elevated takes on the Margarita, Lemon Drop, Sidecar, and Old Fashioned, with chef-driven bites like crab beignets and truffle lemon pepper wings. The perfect pre-match warm-up before the 6 PM Japan vs. Sweden kickoff on June 25.

Late match? Late night. After the 9 PM Jordan vs. Argentina showdown on June 27, the celebration moves to our cocktail lounge and the Bonnie & Clyde Speakeasy — a hidden room built for nights that deserve their own story.

Semifinal week. July 14 will be the biggest sporting night in Dallas history. If you're in town for it, book your table now.
