Media Relations Contact: September 8, 2010 DART to fun, food and football at the fair
As game day nears, sign up for service alerts and get the latest information about rail and bus service at www.DART.org/StateFair, or call 214-979-1111. To help accommodate the expected large crowds before and after the games, DART is adding light rail and buses and TRE trains (service varies by event). No matter which travel option you choose, be sure to allow plenty of travel time so you do not miss a minute of the action. The trip doesn't end with the final whistle, so DART is working with State Fair staff to make the post-game departure and wait smoother. Staff will be on hand to get customers to the fastest areas to board for a return trip. Special service will continue for at least two hours after the game, so there's plenty of time to relax and get that extra corny dog.
Big Tex Express On Saturdays and Sundays, motorists can ride the free "Big Tex Express" train between auxiliary parking at the fairgrounds to a gate near the Cotton Bowl. The State Fair of Texas offers acres of lighted and secured parking off Haskell west of Dolphin Road -- easily accessible from I-30. Parking is $15. The service operates continuously from 10 a.m. to midnight on Saturdays and from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sundays. Note: The Big Tex Express does not run to Tarrant County. Discount State Fair of Texas Tickets with a DART Pass Advance discount State Fair of Texas tickets with a DART Pass are available for $16 at a participating Kroger.
