Arlington · Tarrant County

The Arlington event calendar, without an agency taking a cut.

Almost no other city in Texas has this much event work in one square mile. Arlington's Entertainment District runs on game days, concerts, tournaments, and hospitality — AT&T Stadium for Cowboys and mega-tours, Globe Life Field for Rangers and marquee shows, Choctaw Stadium for football and events, Esports Stadium Arlington for tournaments, and Texas Live! and the surrounding Convention Center for corporate hospitality. Special Event Staff is a free way for Arlington bartenders, servers, concessions workers, runners, and setup crews to see and apply directly to those calls. There's no agency in the middle — the caterers and hospitality companies staffing the district post directly, so when they hire you, you keep 100% of your pay. Game-day work is steady from August through February, spring brings Rangers season and outdoor festivals, and weddings and corporate gigs run year-round through Mansfield, Grand Prairie, and Kennedale.

Arlington FAQs

Questions people ask about Arlington.

Are game-day gigs really posted here?

Yes. Hospitality caterers and concessions operators working AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field, and Choctaw Stadium post their event calls directly. Set your profile radius to include Arlington to see them first.

Do I need special credentials to work Arlington's big venues?

TABC is required for alcohol, Food Handler is preferred for concessions and hospitality, and most venues do a badge check on-site. Some companies do a brief orientation before your first shift.

How does pay work for a Sunday Cowboys game?

Pay is set by the hiring company in the job post — often hourly plus a game-day bonus or guarantee. You collect direct from them, keep 100%, and Special Event Staff never processes your pay.

Can I work every home game if I want?

Yes. Once a company books you and you show up well, they'll often invite you back for the season. Turn on notifications to be first to see repeat calls.
