Travel
Overview
The AAC is in the Victory Park district on the western edge of downtown Dallas, accessible from I-35E (Stemmons Freeway), Woodall Rodgers Freeway, and the DART light rail system. The Victory Park infrastructure was designed for event traffic and handles it well. DART light rail to Victory Station provides a stress-free alternative to driving. Dallas highways are wide and fast, but game-night congestion around the exits can add 15-20 minutes.
