DButz65 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Orange does not goto the stadium blue does You can catch the blue line from the Rossyln stop , just make sure you go the right direction Ask a attendant at the metro to be sure. http://www.wmata.com/rail/maps/map.cfm 16 stops in all to the Morgan Blvd stop, there or no shuttles from the metro to the stadium and is a 1 mile walk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renaissance Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Sunday I will be staying at the holiday inn in rosslyn It is right beside a metro station , My question is, what line would i need to take . I know the orange line goes to landover but someone said I need to take the blue line but I really dont know what to do. also is there a shuttle that takes people from to the stadium from the station? As others have said, I would call metro to ask if they can help in getting your grandfather to the stadium. If that's not an option, there are usually individuals running "shuttles" for $5 a person or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waldo2173 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 you should consider just buying a parking pass ... that is if you have a car. if your grandpa will have difficulty walking a mile he will have trouble with the crowds on the metro. it gets really crowded with hardly no seating available. may have to stand for awhile.

Catatonic Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I remember a few years ago my wife and I went to the Sat night game when they had the 70 greatest Skins during the Skins anniversary season (2002 I believe). Anyway, we rode the Metro all the way from Foggy Bottom. I "think" the last part of the ride was on the yellow line. At the last stop, there was a Metro bus that took us to a Metro-only gate right outside the stadium. Anyone remember that setup? More importantly, can anyone tell me why they stopped it? Please don't tell me it was Danny wanting more parking revenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't tell me it was Danny wanting more parking revenue. The metro line by the stadium is BLUE That metro bus lot used to be in the B3 Green lot right behind the players and media parking lot. Seems Metro wanted to start charging people $20 to use the shuttles when at the time, everyone was paying $6.. so i guess the Skins scraped that idea and got rid of the shuttles. http://voices.washingtonpost.com/getthere/2008/08/no_more_landover_shuttles_to_f.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
