AT&T Stadium Security Jobs — What You Need To Know

AT&T Stadium in Arlington is one of the largest domed stadiums in the world — a 100,000+ capacity venue that is home to the Dallas Cowboys and hosts some of the largest events in Texas including Super Bowls, Big 12 Championship games, college football playoffs, major concerts, and international soccer matches. Security at AT&T Stadium is handled through contracted security firms operating under stadium agreements.

Cowboys home game security is the primary ongoing deployment — 8 regular season home games plus preseason (typically 2 home games in August) and any home playoff games. Each game day requires a large security deployment across all entry gates, parking perimeters, concourses, field level, and suite corridors. Deployments typically begin a few hours before kickoff and extend through post-game egress.

How To Get On The AT&T Stadium Security Roster

• Apply to the stadium security contractors — search "AT&T Stadium security" or "Cowboys game day security" on major job boards. Sign up for alerts below and we'll notify you when positions post.
• Apply in summer — roster spots for the NFL season are filled before the September opener. Apply well before the preseason — roster spots fill before the first game. Late applications may still get added to the roster mid-season for playoff coverage.
• Get your Level 2 guard card first — a valid Texas Level 2 Security License is required for all paid security positions at AT&T Stadium. No license means no placement. See our full Texas licensing guide.
• Attend orientation — Stadium contractors run pre-season orientation covering post assignments, radio protocols, and emergency procedures specific to AT&T Stadium.
• Be available for all home games — roster officers are expected to be available for all scheduled home games. Consistent unavailability results in removal from the active roster.
