About the city
Ferris, Texas, located on the southern side of the Dallas–Fort Worth metropolitan area, combines a quieter small-city atmosphere with convenient access to major sports, concert and entertainment events across North Texas. Its historic downtown and distinctive brick buildings reflect the important role brick manufacturing played in the city's development, while its proximity to Dallas makes Ferris a practical base for visitors who want to combine a local atmosphere with the larger arenas, stadiums and cultural attractions of the wider metropolitan area. The city is particularly convenient for visitors travelling to events by car and looking to stay outside the busiest parts of the large urban area.
Ferris's main transportation advantage is Interstate 45, which provides a direct road connection toward Dallas and other parts of North Texas. Ferris does not have its own major passenger rail system, but travellers can continue their journey in Dallas using the DART Rail network; the southern section of the Blue Line reaches UNT Dallas Station, while EBJ Union Station in central Dallas connects DART Rail, the Trinity Railway Express (TRE), Amtrak and the Dallas Streetcar. Air travellers can use Dallas Love Field and Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, from where road transportation is the most straightforward way to continue to Ferris and the many arenas or stadiums across the area.
Before or after an event, visitors can take a walk through historic downtown Ferris and along Main Street, where old brick buildings preserve the city's distinctive appearance and industrial heritage. For a more relaxed outdoor break, Earline Jackson Park is another option, while Ferris's location also makes it easy to take a trip toward central Dallas, its cultural districts and the Trinity River area. The combination of local Texas character, convenient road access and proximity to major event venues makes Ferris a practical base for attending concerts, sporting events and other entertainment across the wider Dallas–Fort Worth area.
