The 2020 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic takes place New Year's Day at Cotton Bowl Stadium at Fair Park. DART is the best way to the game, where the Dallas Stars and the Nashville Predators face off the old-fashioned way: outdoors. Check out our game day travel guide.

An easy pass-off

Skip the hassle and expense of paying to park and park for free at DART transit centers or rail stations with parking lots. View our list of available free parking at DART.org/parking.

The Green Line delivers you right to Fair Park’s front gates, just a 5- or 6-minute walk from Cotton Bowl Stadium. You can ride any line to downtown Dallas, then transfer to the Green Line. In downtown Dallas, you’ll find four transfer stations: Pearl/Arts District, St. Paul, Akard and West End stations. Take your pick, and board a Green Line train with destination signs reading “Fair Park,” “Buckner” or “Lawnview.” Fair Park Station is just a few stops away.

GoPass, for the assist!

When it comes to buying a pass and setting your itinerary, DART’s GoPass app is your breakaway. It’s a free download from the App Store or Google Play. The app will help you with trip planning and other handy info, plus you can purchase your transit passes in advance. But remember:  DON’T ACTIVATE them until game day.

Fare play

DART fares aren’t that complicated. They’re based mostly on what type of transit service you’ll be using and how much of the day you’ll be riding. GoPass will make these calls for you automatically, and always give you the most service for the lowest cost. The most common ticket type is an Adult Local Day Pass, but there are others, and you’ll want to know DART’s fare structure before the big game. Check out your options at DART.org/fares.

Get out of the huddle

Spread out on the rail platform and avoid the crowds that often cluster near the first train car. Score a better seat by boarding through a door away from the huddle. Also note that the center section of each rail vehicle has low floors that are level with the platform – tailor-made for strollers, wagons, wheelchairs, walkers or other mobility devices.

Go for the breakaway

So you’ve gotten your DART passes, and you arrived at the stadium in plenty of time for face-off.  Take a cool break and visit us at the DART booth. You can try your hand at darts, and possibly win a commemorative DART snowball ornament. We’ll also answer any questions you may have and provide useful information about the DART System. How do I get to other sporting events? How late does light rail run? We’ll have the answers.

After the action is over on center ice, you can get home the same way you came: unstressed, traffic-free, and bursting with game-day excitement.
