Parking and Public Transportation (or the lack of it) at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington Texas

Unfortunately, at present Arlington Texas has no public transportation. Efforts are being made to create some kind of public transport in time for the Superbowl in 2011, including using existing Union Pacific railroad lines and creating a temporary Arlington rail station. There is regional transportation in the Dallas/Fort Worth area that includes light rail, train and buses, but Arlington chose years ago not to be a member city. Parking at the Cowboys Stadium is expensive, starting at $40.00 a parking space and is much more for premium parking spaces.
