Walking directions

Walking from your hotel to the gates
The Junction is the front door
Nearly every walking approach to Davis Wade converges on the Junction, the tailgate lawn north of the stadium. It closes to traffic the night before and the paved paths run straight to the north gates.
Note: Cowbells are legal here. If the ringing bothers you, the walk back down Barr Avenue is quieter than cutting through the Junction.
