The Miller Lite Corral, a staple at Texas Stadium for years, will open its doors at AT&T Stadium for the 2014 season. The center of pre and postgame entertainment, the Miller Lite Corral will welcome its first guests on Saturday night, Aug. 16 when the Dallas Cowboys open their 2014 home schedule.
The new Miller Lite Corral will be located in the Miller Lite Plaza on the west side of the stadium and is open to all fans with a game ticket before, during, and after the game. The plaza will open three hours before kickoff and stay open until two hours after each game.
"We are excited to be able to bring the Miller Lite Corral back for our fans," said Charlotte Anderson, Executive Vice President and Chief Brand Officer for the Dallas Cowboys. "A generation of fans enjoyed celebrating Cowboys victories at the corral at Texas Stadium, and with the help of Miller Lite, we have been able to bring that gathering place to life once again at AT&T Stadium."
The new Miller Lite Corral will feature a 117' x 70' tent providing over 8,000 square feet of shade for fans. The area will also expand beyond the tent onto adjacent patios and a beer garden amid the landscaped terraces and live oak trees in the west plaza. Miller Lite will have an additional 1,300 square foot mezzanine level inside the structure for entertaining VIP guests.
Additional features of the Miller Lite Corral include:
- A 90" big screen television for game day entertainment
- 17 additional television monitors placed throughout the space
- 22 point of sale locations for concessions
