The metroplex is heading into a scorcher this weekend, but there is no reason to stay home. We have a solid lineup of indoor events, from elite stadium tours to major concerts, to keep you entertained while escaping the sun. Despite the heat, it is a good weekend to explore the city's premier venues.
Expect intense heat with highs reaching 108 degrees on Friday before settling into the high 90s for the rest of the weekend. While there is a slight chance of drizzle early on, Sunday late afternoon offers the best window for any brief outdoor activities as skies clear.
If you only do one thing
This is a premium opportunity to experience one of the most technologically advanced sports venues in the world while staying completely out of the triple-digit heat.
Tip: Arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled tour time to allow for parking and security check at the stadium.
