The definitive ranking of DFW sports venues

DFW is one of the most stadium-rich metros in America.

1. Globe Life Field (Rangers) — Retractable roof, excellent sight lines, above-average food.

2. American Airlines Center (Mavs/Stars) — Intimate, loud, has aged well for a 2001 building.

3. AT&T Stadium (Cowboys) — Spectacle is unmatched but actual seat experience is mediocre in many sections.

4. Toyota Stadium (FC Dallas) — Soccer-specific, good sight lines, family-friendly.

Criteria: Comfort, sight lines, food, accessibility, parking, atmosphere, value.

AAC playoff atmosphere is underrated. Stars and Mavs playoff games are the loudest events in DFW.

AT&T should be lower. Watching a screen smaller than yours at home from the upper deck is not great.

Globe Life AC in August is genuinely impressive.
