Local insights for Dallas

The things a friend who lives here would tell you before race weekend.

• The station next door is shut

  Trains pass through Convention Center Station without stopping. Walk from EBJ Union Station, or book a GoLink ride from Union Station or Cedars Station in the GoPass app.

• Pay for DART in the app

  Buy passes in the GoPass app, on a GoPass Tap card, or at ticket machines that take cash and cards. DART checks tickets at random, so keep proof of payment until you leave the station.

• DFW's train only leaves from Terminal A

  The Orange Line platform is at Terminal A. The Silver Line at Terminal B goes north to Plano, not downtown.

• Prices don't include tax

  Dallas adds 8.25% sales tax at the till. Restaurants expect a tip of about 18 to 20% of the pre-tax bill.

• Tap water is fine

  Dallas Water Utilities holds Texas's top "Superior" rating, and its 2025 report says the water is safe to drink.

• Bring a card

  The convention center is cashless, though there are ATMs on Level 2 in the A and C Lobbies.

• November is mild

  Average highs are about 20°C (68°F) and lows about 9°C (48°F). Early morning heats can feel chilly, so pack a warm layer for the walk in.

• Tex-Mex is the local carb

  Enchiladas, rice, beans and tortillas are Dallas's comfort food, and locals eat them before a big effort.

Getting to Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center

• From DFW Airport

  Take the DART Orange Line from DFW Airport Terminal A Station, near Gate A10. From other terminals, ride the free Skylink to Terminal A. West End Station downtown is about 50 minutes away. Change there to a southbound Red or Blue Line train for one stop to EBJ Union Station, then walk.

• From Dallas Love Field

  It's about 11 km (7 miles) from the venue. DART Route 5 Love Link connects the terminal to Inwood/Love Field Station for trains downtown. A taxi or ride-hail car is quicker if you have bags.

• By ride-hail or car

  The center's rideshare drop-off is on the Lower C Driveway between Lamar and Griffin Streets, although it can change by event.

Race-day tips for Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center

1. 1

   Leave time for construction

   The center warns that rebuilding work and roadwork can make access and parking harder than usual.

2. 2

   Park early or skip the car

   ACE Parking runs the garage at Memorial Dr and S Griffin St ($20) and Lot C at 502 S Lamar St ($17). Both are first come, first served, with no in and out.

3. 3

   Bring ID and check in yourself

   On-site registration opens 90 minutes before your start, and nobody can check in for you.

4. 4

   Know your day

   Pro singles and all three relays race on Friday 20 November, with relays from 7:40 p.m. Pro Doubles race on Saturday evening.

5. 5

   Sort spectator tickets

   Friends need their own spectator ticket, and athletes can only watch on the day they race.

6. 6

   Food inside is limited

   Kay's Place (Starbucks coffee) and Go Natural (sandwiches, wraps and salads) are in the C Lobby on Level 2, but hours vary by event. Bring your own pre-race snack.
