FIFA World Cup 2026 in Arlington, TX

AT&T Stadium in Arlington completed its final TDLR accessibility inspection in June 2026, marking the end of a $2,500,000 renovation project. The work, filed under the name FIFA World Cup 2026, involved temporary installations to support international matches at the 900 E. Randol Mill Road facility. This specific filing covers 50,000 square feet of alterations, resulting in a calculated cost of $50 per square foot.

The scope of work was defined by the need to install temporary commodities for FIFA, including membrane structures, trailers, modular buildings, and temporary power systems. The project also required expanding the stadium perimeter with fencing. These changes were designed to accommodate the specific infrastructure needs of the 2026 World Cup matches held at the venue.

Project Scope and Financials

The estimated cost of $2,500,000 places this project above the median estimated cost of $250,000 for renovation and alteration filings in Tarrant County. While the total expenditure is in the top quarter for this type of work, the cost per square foot of $50 is below the county median of $79. The scheduled build window for this project was 137 days, which is longer than the county median of 92 days for similar renovations.

Trey Yelverton is listed as the owner or developer of record for this privately funded project on private land. Vlmk served as the design firm, a company that also registered another project at NRG Park in Houston with an estimated cost of $2,000,000. Ross A Thomas was the registered accessibility specialist associated with the filing, which was registered with TDLR in December 2025.

Plan review for the project was completed in April 2026, and construction began in March 2026. The final inspection passed in June 2026, and the TDLR status is recorded as Inspection Complete. This confirms that the physical work described in the filing, including the temporary structures and fencing, has been finished and verified for accessibility compliance.
