DFW to McLane Stadium Without the I-35 Hassle
McLane Stadium in Waco is about 95 miles from Dallas, close enough for a day trip and far enough that nobody wants to drive home after a long game or a stadium concert. It's home to Baylor Bears football and also hosts big touring shows, and on those days I-35 into and out of Waco slows to a crawl. A chauffeured ride from Dallas–Fort Worth puts your whole group in one vehicle, handles the parking and the drive back, and comes with an upfront, mileage-based price that never surges.
