AT&T Stadium Prepares for High-Profile Events: Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson and Upcoming NFL Games

AT&T Stadium, the home of the Dallas Cowboys in Arlington, Texas, is gearing up for several high-profile events in the coming days. One of the most anticipated events is the boxing match between YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul and former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, scheduled for this Friday evening[3].

The fight is expected to draw a large crowd, with estimates suggesting between 40,000 to 50,000 attendees. Ticket sales indicate that fans are coming from all 50 states and 38 countries, with Texas leading the way followed by California and Florida. The event is projected to have a significant economic impact on the area, with the Arlington Convention and Visitors Bureau estimating a $10 million boost from direct spending on hotels, food, beverages, and merchandise.

For those attending the fight, parking lots at AT&T Stadium will open at 3:30 p.m., and entrances to the stadium will open at 4 p.m. Parking prices range from $50 to $300, and there are also unofficial parking lots available around the stadium. Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft will be available, with Lot 15 designated for drop-offs and pick-ups.

The stadium has also implemented a strict bag policy, allowing only clear bags or small clutch purses, with exceptions for medically necessary items. The event will start with several matches before the main event, which is expected to begin around the time of the Netflix telecast at 7 p.m..

In addition to the boxing match, AT&T Stadium is preparing for upcoming NFL games, including a Monday Night Football matchup between the Houston Texans and the Dallas Cowboys on November 18. Tickets for this game are highly sought after, with the cheapest tickets priced at $500 for standing room only.

AT&T Stadium, known for its state-of-the-art facilities and massive structure, is a venue that hosts a variety of events beyond football, including concerts, soccer matches, and college football games. The stadium is also notable for its collection of museum-quality contemporary art and its unique features such as private suites on the field level[1].

The curtains at AT&T Stadium, which have been a topic of discussion recently due to issues with sunlight during Cowboys games, will be closed for the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight. This decision was made despite Cowboys owner Jerry Jones joking that Netflix did not want the curtains up during the event.
