plunk Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 My father in law has recently retired from Preaching. We are both Skins fans and he has always wanted to go to a game live, but has been Preaching. I found us some tickets for the seahawks game. When the tickets came, I realized we have no parking pass. I went to FedEx a couple years ago when the church lot was a cash lot. From what I read that is not the case anymore. Parking in what is now the Red lot is the only way I know how to get in and out quickly. We are about 4 hours away in Roanoke, so getting out early will help us not get home after midnight. We are going to get there around 10:00 or 10:30 am. I posted a add in classifieds section, but since I don't post very often I'm thinking that no one will sell to me. So, plan b. Any good place to find parking pass. I'd like to pay 25 bucks or less. Or, how bad is parking in the cash lots and taking the shuttle? Will that make us late as crap getting out? How early should we get to the cash lots. How much are they? What is the best one of the cash lots? Love the site. Read everymorning these days. Thanks for the help. Go Skins!

HOF44 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Blue and red lots seem to be going for 50 to 60, green lot for 60 to 70 and orange lot is over 70. Cash lot is ok getting there but a nightmare leaving. HOF44 Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plunk Posted September 15, 2005 Author Share Posted September 15, 2005 I will run the prices by the Preacher, but we may end up in the cash lots. Anyone with experience using them? How much are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DButz65 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 On ebay in the past i have seen parking passes for sale, but that was for like the whole season, never know though, you MIGHT find single game passes now a days, never hurts to look.

OVCChairman Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Cash parking and hopping on the shuttle is your best bet, and you have one of the quickest departures, depending on when you get on the shuttle at the end of the game. Best bet for you might be to hook up with someone on the board, meet them in thier section after you get on the shuttle, if you are looking to tailgate that is. Anyways, i think Cash Lot is $25, but i dont know when they start running the shuttles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plunk Posted September 15, 2005 Author Share Posted September 15, 2005 Thanks for the advice. I'll check back in the morning and see if there were anymore ideas or thoughts. Thanks guys, great message board! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark The Homer Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Take the beltway to the Landover Rd. exit, take it towards DC. Bear right. Turn into the first right hand turn and park in Landover Mall. Parking is $15. You can walk to the stadium from there. It's slightly less than a mile, although you can see the stadium from the Mall. To get back, get one of the buses in front of Gate C. It will take you to Landover Mall, and it's free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinDan0557 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 The Cash lot is $25, easy getting in. You can check out the unofficial ExtremeSkins Tailgate in the green lot---they are very welcoming and about as family friendly as you're going to get at a tailgate party. It will take you about 1 to 1.5 hours to get on the shuttle bus and get back to your cash lot at the end of the game. My wife and I went to our first game this past Sunday, and the ExtremeSkinners were very hospitable. I couldn't have asked for a better time. Good Luck and have fun. Make some noise when Seattle's offense is on the field. :dallasuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plunk Posted September 15, 2005 Author Share Posted September 15, 2005 Thanks for all the info. I think we will also check out the tailgate party! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75004 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Plunk, I will also be attending in your same scenario to the seahawks game. I will take the Metro, I will drive to the Springfield stop and will find my way down the tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plunk Posted September 15, 2005 Author Share Posted September 15, 2005 Seems like the parking situation gets a little worse every time I go. Is the Stadium growing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DialSux Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 the stadium is not growing but snyder is getting richer. he doesn't spare any expenses when it comes to the team, so he thinks that we should take the same attitude when we go watch the game.
