Non-Match Day Excursions
Trinity Metro is helping to position Fort Worth as the premier non-match-day destination for soccer tournament visitors. With remarkable attractions, award-winning restaurants, and cultural landmarks within easy reach of its transit network, Fort Worth delivers an experience that goes well beyond the stadium.
“Fort Worth offers visitors an experience distinct from any other city in the region,” said Mitch Whitten, President and CEO, Visit Fort Worth. “Fans can experience authentic Texas culture, hospitality, and attractions while using Trinity Metro to move throughout the area.”
As part of a new, limited-time service, Cowtown Visitor Shuttle Motorcoaches, operated in partnership with Trinity Metro, will provide convenient connections between Fort Worth and Arlington, linking visitors to some of North Texas’ most popular destinations.
The special shuttle service will connect riders to the Fort Worth Stockyards, Sundance Square, Fort Worth Zoo, Fort Worth Botanic Garden (and other destinations in the cultural district), while also providing access to Arlington’s Entertainment District, including Texas Live!, Globe Life Field (home of the Texas Rangers), Six Flags Over Texas, and the National Medal of Honor Museum.
Additional stops will include shopping destinations such as Tanger Outlets and Buc-ee’s, as well as dining, entertainment, and attractions throughout Fort Worth and Arlington.
