Fairness requires that I tell you that they are trying. A little. Very little. More on the order of CYA but an effort to point at change, if only on the "paper" of a website . . .
The parking section of the stadium website now says:
Passenger Drop-Off Zones
There are two passenger drop-off zones at the stadium. One is located on the north side off of Randol Mill Road in Lot 1 and one located on the south side off of Cowboys Way in Lot 6. Due to post game traffic, these areas may not be accessible for pick up. Guests may use the Accessibility Shuttle serving all Cowboys Stadium parking lots.
There still seems to be an issue grasping the fact that some guests will NOT have a driver parked in one of the lots while the passenger(s) attend the event. You may remember that our driver was refused access to Cowboys Stadium property by the Arlington Police Department for the purpose of stopping so we could walk to meet him. He wasn't even allowed to drive within the gates and stop.
Do I think guests are safer by the addition of this language?
No!
As a life-long advocate for people with disabilities, I think that there will eventually be "issues" in that area also - particularly with non-football events but they too will be part of the learning process for Cowboys Stadium management.
It is my opinion that eventually there will need to be one or two designated drop-off/pick-up points. I can't imagine the stadium being able to peel away prime parking for this purpose so I'll guess that eventually the spot(s) will be off premises with shuttle buses - just like rental cars at the airport.
It will be interesting to see how it evolves but I still don't see a reason to darken their doors.
