Hotels near At&t Center

Arrival & Pre-Event

Plan to arrive at the AT&T Center at least 1 to 1.5 hours before your event's scheduled start time. This buffer accounts for potential traffic congestion on I-37 and around the venue, as well as parking lot navigation and the time required to walk to your entrance. Once parked, familiarize yourself with your location using clear landmarks or the parking section number, as lots can be vast. Familiarize yourself with the venue’s clear bag policy and prohibited items list before leaving your hotel or car to ensure swift entry through security checkpoints.

During the Event

Upon entering, take a moment to locate your section and nearest restrooms. Concessions are plentiful throughout the concourse, offering classic arena fare and local favorites; consider visiting slightly before or after peak times (like halftime or intermissions) to minimize wait times. If you need a moment of quiet or a break from the crowds, the concourse areas offer a good vantage point and some seating. Be aware of the event's scheduled intermissions or breaks, which are opportune times for restroom visits or to grab a quick snack without missing key moments.

Post-Event & Departure

Exiting the AT&T Center can also involve wait times, especially for vehicular traffic. If possible, wait about 15-20 minutes after the event concludes before heading to your car; this allows a significant portion of the crowd to disperse. Follow event staff’s directions for traffic flow, and be patient as you merge back onto the main roadways. If using rideshare services, proceed to the designated pickup zones, which are clearly marked. For those dining or heading to nearby attractions afterward, consider the timing carefully to avoid the initial rush of departures.
