Opposing fans often refer to the stadium as Meat Lover's Park, a play on the stadium's corporate sponsorship.

Since opening, numerous musicians have performed at Pizza Hut Park, including George Strait, Rascal Flats, and Edge Fest, hosted by a local radio station which included bands such as Hawthorne Heights, 30 Seconds to Mars, and the Toadies. As the stadium becomes more well known in the Dallas area it is becoming known as "The Hut".
