Climate Controlled Culture and Elite Stadium Access
The data indicates a good weekend ahead for those who pivot to indoor venues to avoid the 103 degree heat. Between the high signal theater of Yesenia Then and the VIP tours of AT&T Stadium, there is no shortage of premium ways to spend your time under a roof.
Expect intense triple digit heat with highs peaking at 103 degrees on Friday and 102 on Saturday. While skies remain clear to overcast, the best window for any necessary outdoor movement is late Friday afternoon before sunset.
If you only do one thing
Yesenia Then · Fri 8:00 PM
This high impact theater performance offers a premier cultural experience in a fully climate controlled environment, which is essential given the extreme outdoor temperatures.
