Basically asking the same thing you just did. What is Green B3 parking? Does it mean I have to park in a specific lot or can I park in all green lots.

DC9 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Just got an email saying that if I buy club seats, I get free tickets to ALL special events this year, Man U v FCB; MD v ND; and Army v Navy. Not a bad deal if you have a loose three grand laying around the crib. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B3 lot isn't new, it's been there for a long time. I've been parking there for the past 3 years for the exact reason of the exit on to Sheriff Road. It's located behind the players lot, right behind that tree line. If you know where the escalators are, it's right there, you pretty much have a b line to the escalators, so if you use them you'll love the lot. It's paved and all that and holds a lot. Some people have said in previous years it was used as an overflow lot? Which I think it might still be. I've always parked there, but noticed that about an hour before kickoff, a lot of cars started entering the lot (assuming cause the other lots were filled). I do wonder though, if they are saying B3 lot, does that mean you no longer can park in any lot with green passes? Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case, wouldn't it make more sense to create a new 'color' lot, to minimize confusion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B55Green Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 They'd have to make a couple new color lots for that haha. Perhaps now the passes with have like B on them F and E, etc for each lettered Green Lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already have problems with traffic trying to get people in certain colored lots, I can't imagine the traffic nightmare if they are designating people to certain lots within that color.

B55Green Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 The only thing that would have made sense to me was if they were changing the B3 lot to a different color, but they stated in the email it's still Green. Very strange. You should call up the TO for us and ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B55Green Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Sounds good man, looking forward to hearing what they have to say, I'm going to hate it if I can't tailgate over there anymore because I don't have a specific green pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B55Green Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 (edited) Yeah that lot has the B3 Lot sign before you enter it and all the light poles have the green bars (or whatever you want to call them) along with the number, see: Edited June 16, 2011 by B55Green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgreen Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 That's the lot the Metro shuttles used to use for the Landover Metro Station. Are they saying you can actually use that exit the buses used to use and exit to Sheriff Road? Can you enter from Sheriff Road, too? That email is strange saying it's accessible from both Morgan Blvd. and Redskins Rd. There is no single lot that is accessible by both those roads unless they allow you to enter from Sheriff Road.

B55Green Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I've been parking in that lot since 2008 and you could always exit it from the back after the game, but before then the gate had always been locked. I guess they are trying something new to help lower traffic on Garrett Morgan Blvd (considering that's how you'd get to that lot). We always tailgate so there's never traffic when we show up, but I guess closer to game time it gets worse and they are hoping that opening that little back road will help decrease it.

Wish I had known you could use that back exit. I've parked there a couple times and the traffic problem with that lot is getting to Morgan Blvd. Once you're on Morgan Blvd, it doesn't take that long to get to Central Avenue. However, Morgan Blvd is swamped with people walking back to Metro. Pedestrians ignore signs and cones and tape and whatever else and walk a lot in the street. I haven't heard of any pedestrians being hit, but I wouldn't be shocked if it's happened. I know the neighborhoods would never agree to it, but it would be nice if Hill Oaks Road could be used as another way to Sheriff Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's why we park closer to the back of the lot. We made the mistake the first game and parked closer to the front, in which we were trapped in. Plus having an Excursion makes it a lot harder to move around compared to having a car. So being further back helps us get out easier / faster as well. Is Hill Oaks Road the road where the police escorts take people to get them out easier? That little housing development with the gate blocking access to it?

That little housing development with the gate blocking access to it? It's the road you cross to get to that lot and the one with all the police lined up at the end. I've never seen anyone escorted out, but that could be what they use it for and would make sense to keep it blocked for that purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a green pass then you can park in any of the lots and if you have a green B3 pass you can only park in green B3 with the possibility of being upgraded to the green pass in future years. Hope that helps everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonnyandSam Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 (edited) That is going to be confusing for the parking attendants....green is green......Seems like using a different color would have made more sense. But oh well.....I wonder if green parkers can park in the green B3 lot? IF green parking pass people park in the B3 lto then they could take the spaces reserved for the green B3 parking passes.

I've never seen anyone escorted out, but that could be what they use it for and would make sense to keep it blocked for that purpose. Yeah that's the road then. I've seen one or two escorts go up that way with a couple limo's and transportation buses - or at least that's what they looked like. Ok, I just got off the phone with the TO and was told that there will be green passes and green B3 passes. If you have a green pass then you can park in any of the lots and if you have a green B3 pass you can only park in green B3 with the possibility of being upgraded to the green pass in future years. Hope that helps everyone. Oh okay, that makes sense, in a way I guess. It sucks for people who have been waiting for green to tailgate with others, only to be stuck in one lot. I guess the lot will be more filled now compared to other seasons if they are selling them for that specific lot. Hopefully we won't have a hard time entering from Garrett Morgan Blvd then. ---------- Post added June-16th-2011 at 04:34 PM ---------- That is going to be confusing for the parking attendants....green is green......Seems like using a different color would have made more sense.

Being I don't have Green and have some trades available for Green, I don't want to be turned away from that lot because that's where we like to park.
