AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, underwent a multi-million dollar transformation to meet FIFA’s 2026 World Cup standards. The Cowboys and the City of Arlington, Texas, also committed to further long-term investment in the stadium.

The Action Network’s recent analysis showed the cost of attending a Cowboys game also skyrocketed for families.

According to The Action Network, a family of four attending a Cowboys game could now spend $1,685.15 on a game day, up nearly 19% from last season. Their data experts went through 539,192 ticket listings across all 32 NFL teams, along with stadium food, drink, and parking costs, to figure out the cost of attending a home game as a family of four.

AT&T Stadium enters a new chapter. The Cowboys are reported to have invested nearly $300 million in renovations ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. In addition, a new agreement with the city of Arlington will see the Cowboys’ investment in the stadium climb to at least $750 million through 2055, along with $273 million from Arlington over 20 years.

A spokesperson for The Action Network said, “With AT&T Stadium fresh off a major World Cup overhaul and further long-term investment now agreed, the venue is entering a new era. For Cowboys fans, the cost of attending has also moved noticeably higher, with our analysis showing a family game day is now almost 19% more expensive than it was just a year ago.”
