Stadium Tours and Professional Sports Lead the Hot Irving Weekend
Irving is facing a intense heat wave this weekend with temperatures consistently breaking the 100 degree mark. Despite the weather, the local event scene is good, offering a robust selection of indoor sports tours, WNBA action, and premier theatrical performances to keep you cool. Focus on climate controlled venues like Globe Life Field and the Texas Trust CU Theatre to make the most of the high event density.
Prepare for extreme heat with highs reaching 104 degrees on Friday and Saturday. While Sunday brings overcast skies and a slight dip to 100 degrees, Saturday late afternoon remains the best window for any unavoidable outdoor time.

This high impact theatrical event at the Texas Trust CU Theatre offers a climate controlled evening of culture that avoids the punishing midday sun.
