Official Cash Lot Parking Thread (merged)

[Mark The Homer]

Here are the cash lots we know as of now:


1) The Jericho Cash Parking lots. These were the old red lots and were operated by the team prior to 2009, but are now operated by the Jericho Church. These are shown on the map below. The two smallest lots are paved. The larger lot is unpaved (thin gravel). These are currently $40 cash. These red lots may open five hours prior to kickoff. Hot tailgating is permitted. It is a 4/10ths of a mile walk to the stadium.

2) The old Copper Lot is no longer operated by the team. It is accepting $25 cash. It is unpaved (light gravel). Hot tailgating is permitted. Plenty of porta-potties. It is possible this lot will open very early - earlier than the team lots, since it opened very early prior to the team taking it over. In fact, you can even park in there before they open and they'll come around and collect the cash from you. It is adjacent to Brightseat Rd, very close to Landover Rd., but it is accessed from Barlowe Rd. via Landover Rd. It is about a 3/4 mile walk to the stadium.

3) The Gray Lot is operated by the team. It is a permit lot and permits can be purchased by *some* season ticket holders for $350, but you have to ask for it specifically. Otherwise, the lot is for employees. In the past, the lot has also accepted $40 cash from the public for individual games, but this may have changed for 2012 in lieu of the fact that it is now an employee lot. If it is a cash lot, it is the only cash lot operated by the team, other than the RV lot.

4) The small lot on the southwest corner of Landover Rd and Brightseat Rd. It is paved. It is $25 cash. I believe this lot opens at least six hours prior to kickoff. Hot tailgating is permitted. It is about a 3/4 mile walk to the stadium. Note: Fan parking for this lot may have been discontinued.

5) The large lot on the southeast corner of Landover Rd and Brightseat Rd. It is paved. It is $25 cash. I believe this lot opens at least six hours prior to kickoff. Hot tailgating is permitted. It is about a 3/4 mile walk to the stadium.

6) The "Sheriff Rd. lots" - most are $25 cash. These are privately owned front lawns of homes resting on Sheriff Rd just west of the Brightseat Rd. intersection. Be sure to pick a spot where you won't be blocked in by other cars.

7) The "big brown building" lot is $20 cash. It is on Brightseat Rd at the sharp bend in the road adjacent to the gray lots. It is well lit and generally there are county police officers nearby directing traffic. It is about a mile walk to the stadium.

8) The RV lot. You need an RV and $100 cash. The attendant standing at Redskins Rd. will sell you an RV lot parking pass on the spot on game day for $100 cash.

9) The Library of Congress Landover Center Annex lot is $10 cash. Address: 1701 Brightseat Rd., Landover, MD 20785. Directions: Take Beltway exit 16, head west down Arena Dr, turn right onto Brightseat Rd. The lot is a few hundred yards on the right. A flier left on cars who have parked in this lot reads: If you tailgate, please cleanup all of your trash or your car will be towed by halftime. It is a one-mile walk to the stadium. 2010 Note: This lot has apparently closed in 2010 because of a break-in/burglary that occurred during a football game.

If anybody has info on other lots, let me know and I'll add them. Thanks!

[Cooley4President]

Are they not doing the Apollo and McCormick cash lots anymore?

[RFKFedEx]

Great thread Mark.

It sounds like all of these new cash lots are ideal for the one or two game a year types who don't have STs or parking passes.

Now that nearly every STH has a parking pass, there should be plenty of room for tailgating in the cash lots.

[Mark The Homer]

Are they not doing the Apollo and McCormick cash lots anymore?

You mean the old cash lots outside the beltway? No. Those are long gone, althought it's possible some of those lot owners could run a cash parking operation. But I doubt it, since there are no longer any shuttles running.

[C.Taylor]

If anybody has more accurate info on these lots or other lots, let me know and I'll add them. Thanks!

Red lot 4 (Along Arena Drive, closest to the Beltway) is paved.

[Mark The Homer]

okay thanks

[Cooley4President]

Had no idea. When did they do away with those? I parked in those lots until last year when I got my green pass, but if the traffic and parking situation doesn't improve in the green areas I was thinking of going back to the cash lots for the games I'm going to this year.

[Mark The Homer]

They did away with those at some point last summer. The team no longer provides cash parking directly.

[Popeman38]

They did away with those at some point last summer. The team no longer provides cash parking directly.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.

[Mark The Homer]

Okay. Thanks for the info!

[SonnyandSam]

Mark, the two smallest former red lots are both paved. Only the largest old red lot is not paved; and it is gravel not grass.....but it does have a lot of weeks growing up in some places. There is a small island of grass in the middle that makes for a nice picknic/tailgate area; but no parking is done on that grassy area.

[9_to_42_td]

Do these cash lots open before the regular lots? Can you line up anywhere before they open?

[STBonecrusher21]

GREAT idea Mark.

I got tired of seeing those threads pop up every week. I think next there should be a "Official Bar/Hangout to Watch the Games".

I have no idea when they open. I would bet the small one at Landover Rd and Brightseat opens and hour or two before the permit lots because I see them out there advertising as I'm driving in, but I don't know for sure.

[C.Taylor]

Somebody posted that the Jericho Church lots opened at 8:00 for the Rams game.

For those lots you used to be able to get up to Jericho City Drive using Area Drive and line up from the entrance of Red Lot 4 on Jericho City Drive toward Central Avenue, but that was when they were Redskins lots. I'm not sure if you could get up Area Drive far enough to pull that off now.

That should still be the case since that's a public road. If the cops didn't mind before, I can't see why they would mind now.

Of course, I'm just guessing now since I now have a green pass.

I used to love tailgating in the large red lot. It worked out great on several levels. It was the closest walk to the stadium. At the top of the hill is a walking path about 10-12 feet wide that took you directly onto Redskins property. There is a great grassy area for those who prefer grass to tailgate on or throw the football. A lengthy tree line that provided sun protection and a personal bathroom for the beer drinkers :D. I suspect the trees and weeds were well watered on home Sundays. Plenty of extra space to set up since there were no white lines; alhtough the church parking staff did start "organized parking" before the FedEx staff did on the FedEx Field lots. And lots of space to park with no worry of hunting down a parking space. Only problem was leaving right after the game; but I don't think it was any worse than the FedEx lots.

[C.Taylor]

That should still be the case since that's a public road. If the cops didn't mind before, I can't see why they would mind now.

My reason for doubt is that I'm guessing all but the two outside lanes on Arena Drive will be occupied by cars lined up for the FedEx lots, with the outside lanes used for incoming and outgoing traffic.

I suppose you could try using the inbound lane to get to Jericho City Drive and tell the attendants at the front of the lines you want to line up for the Red lots.

2) The small lot on the southwest corner of Landover Rd and Brightseat Rd. It is paved. It is $25 cash. I believe this lot opens at least five hours prior to kickoff. Hot tailgating is permitted.


so this lot 100% exists? i'm going for cash parking tomorrow, and this is the closest lot to the extremeskins tailgate, so I'd like to park here...

anyone have anymore info about it? i'm guessing there's plenty of signs for it?

[skinfan2k]

some of those office lots you can park for free if you get there early enough and they cant tow any car because they dont own the lot too as well

[Mark The Homer]

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

[BigMike21]

Just curious.....does "hot tailgating" just mean grills allowed?

[tshile]

i assume thats what i means

[Mark The Homer]

Just curious.....does "hot tailgating" just mean grills allowed?

Grills and alcohol.

[BigMike21]

Grills and alcohol.

Thanks man I was just wondering. Great info by the way. And I like hot tailgating.

No idea. But I know my particular route is wide open at 5 AM. :)
I'm sure they all are :)

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]

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:

It's next to the lot, but the entrance is on Brightseat, as opposed to the entrance of the copper lot which is on Barlow.

Thanks Mark. Do you or anyone else know if it fills up quickly? I imagine it does.

[Mark The Homer]

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.

[Popeman38]

Still accepting $40 cash for parking as of the 10/4 Bucs game. Will update next home game against Chiefs.

[Howie411]

How is the walk from the Copper Lot to the stadium?

[hieverybody]

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!

[C.Taylor]

As someone who used to pay $25 for the tailgate lot (now the copper lot), I'm really frustrated that Snyder bought it.

He didn't buy it. He's leasing it.

[Mark The Homer]

He didn't buy it. He's leasing it.Where'd you hear that?

[pjfootballer]

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.

You did or did not have a colored parking pass?

I did. And that's $25 out of Danny's pockets. First Redskins game in DC for me since the Ravens game in the rain when Vinny T beat us.

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. :)

There is zero chance that the tailgate lot, sorry "copper lot", is full this week.

[mcarey032]

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.

[tygger27]

Skimmed through the thread and I may have missed it, how much is parking in the Jericho lot? Thanks

[Mark The Homer]

I believe it's $35.

http://extremeskins.com/showthread.php?p=6785241

[hieverybody]

Parked in the $25 cash lot next to the copper lot today. It was great, and only half full. There is another $25 cash lot across Brightseat Rd at the strip mall. There is no reason for anyone to pay $40 to park in the copper lot.

[tshile]

yeah, i've parked at the place at the corner of brightseat and landover twice in a row now, for $25.

great place, plenty of places, and its just a short walk from the field.

[tygger27]

Thanks, I parked in the lot behind Cap Center and my gf wasn't happy about the walk. Besides the church cash lot, what's the next closest cash lot?

[hieverybody]

The cash lot I'm talking about is at the corner of Brightseat and Landover. It's closer than the Caps Center, but there may be another one closer, I'm not sure.

[Mark The Homer]

As you can see from the map in post #1, the red (church) cash lots are the closest cash lots.

[uncle boogie]

Has the red cash lot been open 5 hrs prior to kickoff for all games this year? I'm coming with another truck full of skins fans and need the room. 430 is just too late to start Mon. night. Thanks. :eaglesuck

[THEREALTOR1]

Bump......

[Mega Fan]

I am a new season ticket holder and decided to bypass the parking permits for this season. So I was wondering what are the best cash lots around the stadium, and how much do they cost? A couple seasons ago I remember going to a grassy field with a good view of the stadium for $25.. On friday I got off on Arena drive and was instantly corralled into some $35 lot with no way to drive around due to conveniently set up cones...

[landrydirty30skins]

Theres an office building that i always park at for $20. its on the backside of where the Gray lots are. and its not a far walk. theres always two cops posted there and very well lit so ive never been worried about parking there. easy in easy out

[Mark The Homer]

Is that the big brown building? I didn't know about that one. Confirm and I'll put it in the OP.

[Hubbs]

There's a street just outside the "official" lots that has a row of houses which are opened up for parking by their owners before each game. It's usually $25, and if you make sure to pick a house where you can park without subsequent cars blocking your exit, it's damn convenient.

[Mark The Homer]

Can you give me a street name?

[Hubbs]

Can you give me a street name?

I don't remember the name, I just know it visually. After you turn onto Arena Drive headed towards the stadium, take the first right. There will be house after house after house with cars parked in the driveway and front yard. Some of these guys have space to hold ten cars, they make a killing every gameday.

[Mark The Homer]

From the beltway onto Arena Dr, the first right is Brightseat and up the road are office buildings.

Do you mean from 202?

Here: www.mapquest.com

Try to give me a street name. Thanks

[MarkB452]

MTH.....I think he meant turn left...I saw signs saying parking for $25 if you turned LEFT at the first light on the Arean drive exit. If people are charging for parking on their property more power to them, but I don't think its legal (probably some type of zoning violation). This will be interesting to follow.

Does anybody know if the $10 Library of Congress Annex parking was open for the Bills game? We drove by it around 5 PM and there was a police car sitting at the entrance. I hope that lot is back for 2010. It was a great place to park if you did not have a parking pass and did not mind the walk.

[Mark The Homer]

I don't know, but I noticed the cash lot at the corner of 202 and Brightseat was filled with cars for sale. That one wasn't open.

Man, do I sound so incredibly dumb that you actually felt like you had to link Mapquest for me? :ols:

Anyway, I did goof a bit, I confused Arena Drive with "Redskins Road," which I'd never really paid attention to. You take 202/Landover Road to Brightseat Road and turn onto it. Before you hit the official parking lots, you'll hit an intersection. This intersection is confusing, so bear with me. If you keep going straight, the road you're on is no longer Brightseat Road, at least according to Mapquest. It's Redskins Road. Turning left at the intersection puts you on the continuation of Brightseat, which goes on to encircle much of the FedEx parking zone. And turning right puts you on Sheriff Road, which is where the houses are.

[landrydirty30skins]

Is that the big brown building? I didn't know about that one. Confirm and I'll put it in the OP.
correct big brown building. thats where i go.

[Mark The Homer]

Hubbs - gotcha. That's Sheriff Rd, I believe. I never knew cash parking was down that road. Good info. Thanks

30skins - good info too. Thanks

[Dillinger]

Is the The Library of Congress Landover Center Annex lot still open for parking. I'm going to the game Sunday night. It's been a while since I've been to a game. If I get there at 5pm or so, will that be good enough to secure cash parking?

[dockeryfan]

If people want to update where they park tomorrow, which lots were closed, etc. it will be very helpful for the rest of the season. HTTR

[Robbnva]

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?

[plunk]

I'm taking my 7 year old daughter to her first game on Sunday. We have good seats but no parking pass. We live in Roanoke Va and will be driving home right after the game. If I get on the road quickly we could be home by midnight. From looking at the maps you posted it looks like the best cash lot for us to get out early will be the Jericho cash lot and then we could jump on 495 south.

Any thoughts on the best cash lot to exit 495 south quickly after the game. We are willing to leave early to get the best lot for us. How early should we arrive to have a choice?

After this research is complete I'm going to search for the Extremeskins tailgate thread!

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

[NattyBo]

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.

So, that's how I got out on Redskin Road so fast. :ols:

[RedskinsFan44]

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]

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.

Yep, parked there today, it isn't much further at all then some of the church lots which were charging $35. 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]

Here's a map (http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=213087174766639544094.0004a938b3e10cd38e98 0&msa=0) 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?

Here's a map (http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=213087174766639544094.0004a938b3e10cd38e98 0&msa=0) 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?


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.

Not sure where Peebles Drive is. But, I think I get what you're saying. Is it right now? (http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=213087174766639544094.0004a938b3e10cd38e98 0&msa=0&ll=38.907382,-76.854343&spn=0.012223,0.01929)

Peebles Dr is Arena Dr. It was Peebles before the stadium was built so it's still Peebles. It's all the same road.

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.

I thought I saw something about that just glancing through this thread, but I also thought I saw someone say it was back open? I guess we'll see in a couple weeks.

[4everaSkin]

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.

[4everaSkin]

Anybody? Thanks in advance for the help

[Mark The Homer]

The OP should be up to date.

[deepo11]

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?

[Popeman38]

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 $$.

I was actually referring to the old red lot/s right off of Arena Drive on the left side. (Unless I am confusing it with copper)

The crowd doesn't really start rolling in real heavy until about 11 or so. First come, first serve.

How do you know it's $25 for the regular season? Thanks

[Popeman38]

How do you know it's $25 for the regular season? 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.

[OBX4SKINS]

Also FYI the charge for parking in the Jericho lots has gone up to $40 this year.

[Mark The Homer]

Thank you sir.

[NewCliche21]

I'm just confused as hell as to where I'm parking in Green B3? I usually park right next to the ES tailgate, so that's my only point of reference. Where would this exit be?

[Mark The Homer]

Use Morgan Blvd. That's beltway exit 15, Central Ave west, right on Morgan. You can park wherever you want in the B3 lot.

[DC9]

Yep, my brother and I parked there for the Colts game and I almost **** a brick, lol. Looks like we'll be getting parking passes when I move back from my next assignment.

Looks like we'll be getting parking passes when I move back from my next assignment.Come on over to the old Copper lot. It is about the same walk as walking from the church lot, just a bit further than the grass church lot. And you can come in off 202 and avoid the entire Beltway mess.

[ceekay]

I'll be coming up North on the Beltway from VA, crossing the Woodrow into MD on 495.

Can anyone give me easy directions to the Copper Lot from the Beltway?

I'm not sure I've ever been there. Is that the parking lot before the grass lot on the left going towards the stadium?

It is the cash parking on the top left. It is just over a 1/2 mile walk to the stadium. There is a row of about 10 porta-johns always. They have the portable lights every couple hundred feet for night games. Basically unlimited tailgate space if you arrive early and pick a spot on the outer ring all the way around, my tailgate spot is about 50' x 50', with cornhole and ladder ball set up and room for a 2 year old to run around and burn up that energy.

Using 295 to 50 to 202 to Barlowe Rd is the easiest way to get in and out while avoiding the beltway. I am usually in my driveway unloading in Ashburn an hour after I get to my car.

Wow. Thanks Popeman. I may just give that a stab this weekend. I appreciate it!

[Popeman38]

---------- Post added September-24th-2012 at 09:43 AM ----------


Thank you sir.Mark, the old Copper Lot is indeed $25. And they are building an entrance/exit off Brightseat, so next season you will be able to enter and exit off either Brightseat or Barlowe.

[DC9]

did you use the lot?

We will for the Falcons game. We were running a little late because we wanted to watch the end of the Liverpool vs ManU match.... ****ing Robin van Pelt....lol... and we didn't want to try anything new and risk missing the kickoff.

I read what you said about them building another exit way, though. How was the trip out?

We parked at the Morgan Blvd metro station for $25 and I was home in Fredericksburg by 630. It did take us longer than usual to walk from the Stadium back to the metro though... there had to be 20k people walking on that sidelwalk.

But we fed our 2 yer old in the lot before rolling. We literally drove out of the lot without stopping, was on 202 in 30 seconds, route 50 in 5 minutes, on 295 in 10 minutes, and on 395 in 20. Hit some Nts traffic on 395, added about 15 minutes to the drive.

Any suggestions on what time to get to the Copper Lot for this weekend's game to ensure I get a spot?

[Popeman38]

Thanks a ton. Can't wait till Sunday! HTTR!

[Popeman38]

Thanks a ton. Can't wait till Sunday! HTTR!Just remember, take MD RTE 202 to Barlowe Rd. You can't get to the Copper Lot off Brightseat.

[Rocky21]

Just remember, take MD RTE 202 to Barlowe Rd. You can't get to the Copper Lot off Brightseat.You sure about that? I haven't parked in that lot in a while but back in the day there was a back way in. You could turn on Harvey Drive at the light. Take the first right on Allendale Drive. Follow ‘til the road ends and turn onto Barlowe Road. Take your first right and enter that way. (My tip for the Redskins Faithful in case it still works.) Hail!

Hail!I meant you can't turn directly off Brightseat into lot. Yes, you can take surface streets off Brightseat. But why turn on Brightseat when you can go 1/8 of a mile further/shorter on 202 and turn directly onto Barlowe?

[Rocky21]

I meant you can't turn directly off Brightseat into lot. Yes, you can take surface streets off Brightseat. But why turn on Brightseat when you can go 1/8 of a mile further/shorter on 202 and turn directly onto Barlowe?Cause I'm coming from the other direction.

[Popeman38]

Cause I'm coming from the other direction.I'm confused, but OK. If coming up 495, take the 202 exit and instead of turning left on Brightseat, turn left at next light on Barlowe. If coming up 295, take 50E to 202. Then turn right off 202 onto Barlowe.

[CGSKINS]

Do buses still run form the cash lot to the stadium?

[Mark The Homer]

Do buses still run form the cash lot to the stadium?

Nope. There aren't any cash lots operated by the team anymore, so naturally they wouldn't have any buses.

[skinfan2k]

There are alot of parking lots outside of the 1-2 mile radius of the stadium if you desire to walk

[CGSKINS]

thanks for the info

[theRivers]

Are there any cash lots within a short distance (1 mile) of the stadium that I can get for 20 bucks or so?
If so, could you please post? Thanks.

[Popeman38]

If so, could you please post? Thanks.The old Copper Lot, now back to being the Tailgate Park & Walk lot. Enter at the corner of 202 and Barlowe Rd. $25/game, and a leisurely 15 minute walk to the gate. If you bust it, you can do it in 10.

[theRivers]

OK...I want a cheap cash lot (20-25 bucks).
Which lot should I go to.

I was told there is a parking lot across from the church, does anybody know what exit that is/address/directions?

[Khun Kao]

Are there any shuttles from the Metro stations to the stadium? I'm considering going to Morgan Blvd Station. I don't mind the walk, but would prefer to take a shuttle bus if available. If "yes", is there a charge?

There are no shuttles from the Morgan Blvd. stop (or any metro stop) to the stadium. It is exactly a 1 mile walk (15-20 mins) from the station to FedEx Field.

It's exactly $25 to park at the Morgan Blvd metro. The walk isn't terrible and the good thing is, you can typically pull out and head right into traffic from there and not worry about the bottle neck at the gates to the stadium parking. It'll save you a lot of time and to me, is worth the walk.

This is true about the ease of entry/exit into the metro lots, but keep in mind that all tailgating is strictly prohibited. If you are looking to have a few cold ones by your car before the game I would park in the cash lots mentioned in the OP.

[Carroll88]

Hey guys I am new to the board, and I am heading to the game this weekend. I haven't been in a few years and was wondering if anyone knew whether or not they still have parking at apollo drive and also if tailgating is allowed there. Sorry if this has already been discussed, help would be appreciated. HTTR

[romank]

Apollo Dr lots are no longer. Cash parking is available across from the church on Arena Dr. inside the beltway (identified as Jericho Cash Parking on the parking map) Not sure the cost but believe $25 or $35. Tailgating is permitted.

Friends of ours that meet us at the games often use it and say it quite nice and spacious. Also pretty close.

[sundancer91]

its actually $40 this year at the Jericho lot

[SonnyandSam]

So the church folk are "ripping us off" more than Danny. Where's all the haters? Danny's parking spaces are paved and a closer walk.... :D

I would be extremely surprised to find cash parking for under $40 within a mile of the stadium for the Dallas game. The operators vary their price based on supply and demand (you could find several relatively close lots for $20-$25 when the team was bad in '09 and '10).

I asked the operators if they would raise price for playoffs and was told most likely not, but if they did it would only be $30.

[dgreen]

Does the old Copper Lot fill up? If so, what time would you expect it to be full this Sunday?

[sundancer91]

highly unlikely that it fills up
