Mark The Homer Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 ...I'm leaving northern VA at 8 am, so I should be near exit 17 around 9:30ish. I can either go 495 to exit 17, or I can take 66 into dc, go up new york ave and hop on 50, and take that to 202.Any idea which way is faster at that time? No idea. But I know my particular route is wide open at 5 AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DButz65 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Awesome, you're the man so I read the traffice thread, and the 12 ways to get to the field. I saw the 12th part was exit 17 to 202/landover. I'm leaving northern VA at 8 am, so I should be near exit 17 around 9:30ish. I can either go 495 to exit 17, or I can take 66 into dc, go up new york ave and hop on 50, and take that to 202. Any idea which way is faster at that time? edit: i could also take 495 to MD, hop on 295, hop on 50 to 202... but i'm starting to think thats too much switching directions to really save any significant amount of time Just go 495, head towards MD and cross the brand new Woodrow Wilson Bridge, and keep on truckin to which ever exit you want Going through DC is way more time consuming and the speed limit is much less than 495. The WW bridge is a breeze now that its finished, they are still working on the exits before and after the bridge in some areas buts its smooth sailing, even at rush hour!

hieverybody Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 As someone who used to pay $25 for the tailgate lot (now the copper lot), I'm really frustrated that Snyder bought it. If anyone knows more about this small private lot at the corner of Brightseat and Landover, I'd love to hear about it. I assume it's right next to the copper lot? Or if anyone knows of a different cash lot on the West side of the stadium, I'd love to know.:helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you or anyone else know if it fills up quickly? I imagine it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark The Homer Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 The owner said he had like 200 spaces. It's not real big. I'd imagine it will fill up earlier and earlier as word gets out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popeman38 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Mark, the Copper Lot says permits only on 202 (Landover Rd), but when you pull into the Copper Lot they are accepting cash ($40) to park. I don't think they are advertising it, but I saw the signs. I will try to remember to snap a pic of the signs as I pull in for the TB game. Still accepting $40 cash for parking as of the 10/4 Bucs game. Will update next home game against Chiefs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hieverybody Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 How is the walk from the Copper Lot to the stadium? It's fine. About 12-15 minutes walk to the gate (faster than driving through Arena Drive's traffic). But if you park there, you're giving money to Snyder!

pjfootballer Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Thanks for the info Mark. We flashed my Mom's handicapped sign (she's had multiple foot surgeries and needs a cane) and they let us all the way through to the purple lot and we didn't pay anything. ZERO! cost to park off arena drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Redskins game in DC for me since the Ravens game in the rain when Vinny T beat us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark The Homer Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 Rcvd by PM: Hi, Me and 3 of my friends were going to travel to Fedex Field tomorrow and we didn't have a color parking pass, but I think we were going to cash lot parking. I wanted to ask you since you know a lot of things around FedEx Field: 1. How much is cash parking? 2. How do I get there? 3. What time should we arrive for a spot? 4. Do they run out of cash lot parking spots? Thanks in advance for your help! 1. See Post #1 2. See post #1. Also tag search: routes 3. For the Chiefs, due to all the rain, probably any time up to noon, I would guess. 4. Find out and report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcarey032 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I used the Jericho Church lot for the last game and it worked out fine. There was more than enough parking for the game. Don't know about better opponents, but I would bet with the weather, how the team is currently doing, and the opponent we play tomorrow parking at the Church will be no problem.
