Mark The Homer Posted September 18, 2010 Author Share Posted September 18, 2010 The Jericho church lot is the shortest distance. I would get there no later than an hour and a half before kickoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonnyandSam Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 So I got a bum ankle so which cash lot would be the shortest distance for walking and how much time before should I get there? Mark is correct about the Jericho lot being closest. There are three and I would suggest the large gravel lot closest to FedEx Field. Used to be one of the red lots. Drive to the top of the hill as close as they will let you. There is a cut through at the top of the hill directly onto FedEx property. Then text the Redskins to request a golf cart to pick you up in the first lot and they will drive you for free down to your gate. Sometimes you will get lucky and one will be waiting for handicapped and elderly. Getting a cart going back is tough to find sometimes but you can text the Skins again to pick you up from whatever gate you are leaving from. You can notify a parking lot attendant or text SKINS and your location to 78247. Alternatively, you may also call the Operations hotline at (301) 276-6100. And guys....this is for the handicapped, disabled and elderly....temporarily disabled is fine. If you ankle is really bad, you can get a wheel chair assist from one of the customer service windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NattyBo Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 We thought the copper lot was great for it's relative distance to the stadium and amount of space we were allowed to take up. Friendly folks all around too. Only problem was after the game where the light wasn't turning for some reason resulting in over an hour waiting to drive the 2/10ths of a mile to the beltway. Unreal. Next time we'll just hang out longer in the lot afterwards I guess. Definitely going to return for a late season game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedskinsFan44 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Coming out of the copper lot, make a left on 202 and head west to 50, then take 50 east to the beltway. I made the mistake of trying to head directly to 495 on 202, they keep the light at Brightseat red for about 10 minutes at a time to let the bulk of the traffic out of the stadium.

MarkB452 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Looks like the $10 cash lot at the library of congress buidling is back. I saw the signs at the traffic light on Arena drive today, but did not drive down to check it out. Anyways, if you don't mind a bit of a walk and want to save a ton of dough on parking, try it out. I parked there several times last year and recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I walked for about 3 minutes and saw all these people paying $35 and I thought to myself, I just saved $25, nice. I got there about 45 minutes before kickoff and it was just about full though. Very quick and and easy to get out of after the game too. I parked in the green lot last week and it took about an hour to get out after the game.

dgreen Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Here's a map of the lots in the first post of this thread. Question about the Jericho Church Lot. Should those lots without buildings to the north and east of my red box be included? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should those lots without buildings to the north and east of my red box be included? The red you have highlighted should be on the other side of Peebles Drive. What you have highlighted is the old blue area which is no longer used for parking. The church parking are in the 3 lots on the other side of where you have red highlight.

Mark The Homer Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 Peebles Dr is Arena Dr. It was Peebles before the stadium was built so it's still Peebles. It's all the same road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB452 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 BTW, the Library of Congress lot got closed down last year after a breakin during a game. Too bad as that was a great place to park. I will keep my eyes open to see if it comes back in 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4everaSkin Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 So what's the latest on "off site" parking? I'm coming from Montgomery county and we're meeting friends from Annapolis with the tickets. They have parking at the stadium but we need to find a place for my car during the game. I'm guessing just parking at the shopping mall on arena drive is a bad idea. So any advice would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deepo11 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 The OP should be up to date. Mark, do you know how quickly the Jericho Cash Lots fill up? I am planning on getting there at 9am but am concerned they may fill up since they open up 5 hours prior to kickoff. And obviosly I am assuming since they are Cash Lotsm they are first come, first serve, no buying a spot there in advance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popeman38 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 The old Copper Lot is actually $25 this season. It was $20 for preseason. If you get there before they "open", they will come see you to get $$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crowd doesn't really start rolling in real heavy until about 11 or so. First come, first serve.The old Copper Lot is actually $25 this season. It was $20 for preseason.

ThanksWhen I asked at the preseason game against the Bucs, the attendant told me it would be $25 for the regular season. I will definitely report back if something changes Sunday.
