FALL in Love with Dallas: 3 Things You Don’t Want To Miss When Visiting Dallas in the Fall
The inviting energy of Dallas, Texas entering into autumn is spectacular because locals and visitors wait year-round for their favorite seasonal activities. For those of you who haven’t been to Dallas, better known to Texans as “Big D,” there are 3 things that all visitors absolutely must do when popping over in the fall time. Oh, and don’t forget to grab yourself a Cowboys jersey because, rain or shine, catching a football game before you go home is essential. Better yet, schedule a Cowboys game first.

Catch a Cowboys Football Game
Via Dallas Cowboys
Fall season equals football season in America, but for Texans, the terms are synonymous. As in, grade-schoolers learn the four changing seasons as spring, summer, football, and winter – just joking! But seriously, you always know it’s fall when the streets light up white and navy blue. Football pride is huge in Dallas. If you want the full cultural effect of “Big D” living, you must go to a game or else you can’t really say you’ve been to Dallas.
For visitors, we highly suggest buying your tickets online and early. With 80,000 seats in the AT&T Stadium, being one of the largest football arenas in America doesn’t guarantee great seats will always be available at the gate. Make sure you purchase a seat on the left; it’s where all the Cowboys fans sit. You’ll surely have a hoot!
Two more things – get to the stadium early because for one, tailgating is especially fun in Dallas. Also, the stadium offers guided tours. It’s a fantastic option for getting to know Cowboy’s history. The tour will have you feeling amped for the game to start.
