The latest news from around North Texas.
To top it off parking will be at a premium.
Unlike other games, there will be no cash lots for Cowboys fans, only ticket holders with season parking passes will be able to park in cash lots.
Parking lots will open at 2 p.m. for Rangers fans. Normal cash lots will be available, but fans must show parking attendants their game tickets.
Six Flags Over Texas and Six Flags Hurricane Harbor will open their parking lots for both Cowboys and Ranger fans. Six Flags reminds fans that Fright Fest is in full swing and the amusement park will be busy as well.
Arlington police say they plan to have plenty of officers on duty.
And a reminder, to keep traffic flowing, police may direct traffic in different directions than normal and GPS systems may offer directions that conflict with changed traffic patterns.
Bottom line, leave early and pack your patience.
