Pregame

The atmosphere in Arlington on game day is second to none, and there’s plenty of fun to be had before you even go to the game. Swing by the pregame party right in front of the stadium for family fun, meet-and-greets with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and more. You might even find us handing out some WinStar swag!

During the Game

As you make your way into the stadium, you’ll surely be enamored by the fine art collection that graces the walls of AT&T Stadium. From a mind-bending 4,000-square foot vacuum-formed abstract wall installation to an impressive LED display shining with flickering lightbulbs proudly showcasing iconic Cowboys moments.

One special perk of being a WinStar VIP is access to exclusive events, like taking in a Cowboys game in one of our two suites at AT&T Stadium. Step inside and find yourself in a plush, private space with a perfect view of all the on-field action. From our field level suite, you can get up-close-and-personal with the action. Our Ring of Honor Level suite offers a robust vantage point with beautiful views of the game. Both of our suites are fitted with custom granite countertops, marble floors, flat-screen televisions and ample space to stretch your legs and chat around the bar.

If you feel hungry during the game, enjoy the array of complimentary food in the suite. Our favorite choice is the caramel covered pretzels! The culinary experience doesn’t stop there, though. Step onto the concourse and enjoy a variety of delicious creations, including the famous Cowboys Cheesesteak Hand Pie, featuring sliced sirloin grilled to perfection, topped with onions, secret seasoning and hot white queso.

Postgame

After a day of cheering the Cowboys on to victory, be sure to stop by The Star District in Frisco. Home to the Dallas Cowboys headquarters, this multi-purpose facility offers 91 acres of premium boutique shopping, fine dining and exclusive Dallas Cowboys experiences.

Sitting at the heart of WinStar’s gaming floor, the Global Event Center is our state-of-the-art, 3,500-seat concert venue that has hosted the biggest names in every genre of music and live entertainment. From James Taylor to Jerry Seinfeld and Brad Paisley to Sting, you can find the hottest acts on the planet, not in a 19,000-seat arena or an 80,000-seat stadium, but in the intimate confines of the Global Event Center that concertgoers have come to love.

Previous nominations came in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2017 and 2018.

“We are honored to be nominated by the Academy of Country Music for Casino of the Year for the ninth time,” said general manager Jack Parkinson. “To be designated in the same class as some of the world’s finest casino venues speaks volumes about the dedication to support entertainment by both our team members and guests.”

The Academy of Country Music is dedicated to “improving lives by connecting fans, artists and the industry” of country music. The Academy was established in 1964 to support country music artists like Merle Haggard, Buck Owens and Tex Williams. The first official country music awards show was held in 1966 and, for the last 50-plus years, has honored country music’s biggest stars. This year’s show, the 54^th Academy of Country Music Awards was no different, featuring performances from current greats including Oklahoma native Carrie Underwood and Country legends like George Strait.

There’s clearly something special about attending a show at the world-class Global Event Center. Take a look at our upcoming entertainment lineup and see for yourself why we’re honored year-after-year as one of the top music venues in America!
