[edit] Driving Routes

DC United provides driving directions to RFK stadium at http://dcunited.mlsnet.com/t103/stadium/directions/ . For weekday games, allow an extra 30 to 45 minutes to account for traffic, particularly if you're coming from 395.

[edit] Parking Locations and Costs

There are several lots around the stadium that typically cost $10.

Lot 3 is a large lot across the street from RFK, facing both the front of RFK and the front of the Armory. It can be a little difficult to get in, since it requires looping around RFK and heading west on East Capitol (away from the stadium). On the other hand, it's usually easy to exit and if heading west, will give you a head start on traffic after the game.

Lot 4, one of two small lots practically attached to the stadium building, is located directly between Gates E and F. With the exception of sold-out games, a limited number of spaces are available if you come an hour before game time.

Lot 5 is the other small lot attached to the stadium, between Gates A and B. It is reserved for full season ticket holders and VIPs.

Lot 6 is the furthest large lot, starting at the northeast end of Lot 7. The entrance is on Oklahoma Avenue.

Lot 7 is a large lot just northeast of the stadium. The entrance is from East Capitol Street, heading west towards the stadium.

Lot 8 is a large lot southeast of the stadium and is famous for its pre-game tailgating. The access road into Lot 8 is a two lane affair, and traffic flows one way.

Both Lots 7 and 8 have pedestrian tunnels connecting them to the stadium grounds. Police are on duty to help people safely cross the street from Lot 3 to the stadium grounds.

[edit] Taking the Metro

Take the Orange or Blue lines to the Stadium/Armory station. This station is about a five minute walk from the stadium. When leaving, you can expect a bit of traffic to get back into the station, and constant reminders to move down to the end of the platform. Trains at the time most games end will be coming every ten minutes, and occasionally extra trains will be running to accommodate stadium crowds. It helps to buy round trip fare before arriving at the stadium, as lines at the fare machines when it is time to go home can delay you.
