ONLINE MEDIA REQUEST PORTAL

ACCESS TO NFL EVENTS @ THE STAR

Welcome to the Dallas Cowboys online media credentialing system for NFL Events occurring at The Star and Ford Center.


Media access inside and throughout The Star and Ford Center facility for press conferences, practice access, locker room availability, etc. is limited to those who hold Dallas Cowboys season credentials. Season credentials MUST be visible at all times while on property in a working media capacity.


Up until the distribution of 2024 season credentials, your 2023 season badge may be used. Prior seasons are NOT valid for access and security will confiscate any old passes being used for access.


If you do not have the proper season credential on your person or you are not a season credential holder, please use this online form to request access for a specific date.


You MUST request access for each specific date and event you are looking to access at The Star. Prior approval for event access does not imply or guarantee continued access to future events.


Cowboys training facility passes are non-transferable and may only be used by the specific staff person on the specific day which they are issued.


ASSIGNMENT MANAGERS

Credential requests must be submitted by the assigning producer / editor / sports director. This person should submit individual requests for each employee they wish to cover the event.


MEDIA ATTENDEE

The organization's Assignment Manager should complete this form for any non-season credentialed staff member requesting access to press conferences and other NFL events at The Star and Ford Center facility. One form per staff, per event date requested is required.


REQUEST DEADLINE

APPROVAL RESPONSE

Upon approval of access, an automatically generated email will be sent to the Assignment Manager and the Attendee. This email must be shown at security check-in at The Star in order to prove approval and receive a temporary media badge good for the day. Without this proof of this email response, credentials will not be provided.
