Zubaz Gameday Guide
What to Wear to a Dallas Cowboys Game
AT&T Stadium is a climate-controlled palace, but the Arlington tailgate outside it is pure Texas — hot in September, biting by January. Here's how to dress for a Cowboys game so you're right for both.
This guide covers the full Dallas Cowboys gameday uniform — what to wear to the stadium, what actually works in the Arlington weather, and what to pack for the tailgate. Every piece below is officially licensed Dallas Cowboys gear, ships free in the lower 48, and is loud enough that your section will know whose side you're on.
Start with the pants. Always the pants.
Since 1988, Zubaz pants have been the gameday uniform for fans who show up loud. The Dallas Cowboys zebra print is instantly recognizable across a parking lot, roomy enough to layer over thermals, and comfortable enough to wear from the 8 AM tailgate through the postgame traffic. If you only upgrade one piece of your gameday fit, this is it.
Dressing for a dome game at AT&T Stadium
AT&T Stadium keeps kickoff at a comfortable 70 degrees no matter what Arlington is doing outside — but your gameday doesn't start inside. The tailgate lot is fully exposed to the season, so dress for the parking lot and you'll be fine in the building: Zubaz pants and a team tee as the base, plus a hoodie you can tie off or stash once you're through the gates. Comfort matters more than insulation here, which is exactly what the relaxed fit was built for.

The tailgate checklist
- The uniform: Dallas Cowboys Zubaz pants + team top. Non-negotiable.
- Weather insurance: a layer for the lot; the dome takes care of the rest.
- Comfortable shoes: you'll be standing 6+ hours between lot and seats.
- Small clear bag: NFL stadiums enforce the clear-bag policy — leave the backpack at the tailgate.
- Portable charger: mobile tickets die with your battery.
- Layers for the ride home: night games end colder than they start.
- The dog: if your four-legged fan is tailgating, get them a Dallas Cowboys jersey or bandana. Instant lot celebrity.

Gameday FAQ
What do fans wear to a Dallas Cowboys game?
Team colors, head to toe. The classic Dallas Cowboys fan uniform is a jersey or team t-shirt up top and Zubaz zebra-print pants below — the look that's been in NFL parking lots since 1988. AT&T Stadium is climate-controlled, so dress for the tailgate outside and you'll be comfortable inside.
Is it cold at AT&T Stadium?
No — AT&T Stadium is an indoor stadium kept around 70 degrees year-round. The only weather you'll feel is at the tailgate.
What is the bag policy at NFL stadiums?
The NFL clear-bag policy applies league-wide: bags must be clear plastic no larger than 12" x 6" x 12", or a small clutch. Backpacks and large purses aren't allowed inside, so leave them at the tailgate or in the car.
Are Zubaz Dallas Cowboys products officially licensed?
Yes — Zubaz is an official NFL licensee, and every Dallas Cowboys item we make is authentic licensed gear in true team colors. Shipping is free on every order in the 48 contiguous United States.
