During my time in APO, we worked many fundraisers at Texas Stadium doing parking. Here's the insider's trick..... DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES approach Texas Stadium from 114 Eastbound (from Southlake/Grapevine/Las Colinas). OR Loop 12 Southbound (from NW Hwy/LBJ). Best way is to pass completely by the Stadium on 183, exit Grauwyler and curve it around, and approach from the South on 183. Bypass the first gates on the service road, and go up the hill to Gate 1. Shortest and quickest way in for HS-playoff configuration. Also, coming up Loop 12 northbound (from Grand Prairie-like) and exiting Texas Plaza will be a quick way in. If you have to come from the North, take I-35 E all the way to Mockingbird and double-back on 183 to the Stadium as described above
