There is no reasons to get stuck in game day traffic if you take some simple precautions.

The following paragraph is from the Senior VP of Operations at FedExField:

We advise all fans to arrive as early as possible to allow access to their preferred parking lot. If you have a Green or Orange Lot pass and are arriving within 90 minutes of kick-off, we recommend that you enter the Stadium grounds on Garrett Morgan Boulevard, which would bring you in closer to the Green[/Orange] Lots that will have spaces available at that point.

In addition, fans driving to the stadium on GameDay can get traffic text alerts sent to their cellphones -- just text RSTRAFFIC to 44636. This service gives fans access to regular updates on the best routes to use to get to and from FedExField on game day.

Otherwise, regarding your route to the stadium, here are some ideas:

A) COME EARLY. Obviously, many have valid reasons why they cannot arrive early. Nevertheless, this is one fool-proof solution. If you cannot come early, you should still plan on being in your parking spot by no later than an hour before kickoff, and that includes taking all the traffic delays into account including gridlock on the beltway. Being parked an hour prior to kickoff should be your worst case scenario. Of course, it would be much better if you could arrive much sooner.

B) CHOOSE AN ALTERNATE ROUTE. If you are not an early bird, consider the probability that the shortest route is the route everybody else is taking. And if that is true, it may be significantly faster to take a different route, even if it costs you an extra mile or two. Here are some ideas:

• 1) Use Beltway Exit 13. I've been told hardly anybody uses this route. Take Ritchie Marlboro Rd. west to Ritchie Rd. Turn right. This road changes to Morgan Blvd. You're there.
• 2) Use Rt 295, Baltimore-Washington Pkwy. Rt. 295 is Beltway Exit 22. Take the Baltimore-Washington Pkwy south to Rt 202 Landover Rd. Take Rt 202 Landover Rd. east. You will eventually turn right onto Brightseat Rd. You're there.
• 3) Use Route 704. See map. Route 704 (Martin Luther King, Jr. Hwy) is interesting because it is one of the few that easily hooks up with Sheriff Rd to the west and also Brightseat Rd. to the north. Here are three options:

• a) Taking Sheriff Rd towards the stadium, you unfortunately won't be allowed to turn right onto Redskins Rd. But you can cross it (Sheriff Rd becomes Brightseat Rd.) and access the grey lots on the right or Arena Dr or even Central Ave. by continuing up Brightseat. you can also take advantage of cash parking on the front lawns of private homes along Sheriff Rd. for around $25
• b) Another option from Rt 704 (coming from the north) is to turn at Ardwick Ardmore Rd. for one block, then turn right at Brightseat. From there, you can proceed south for about a mile and a half and you'll run right into the stadium. Except for FedExField area fans, this route is relatively unknown and severely underused. You're there.

No, seriously, monthly fees are currently being implemented by the team. The ES Staff has nothing to do with it. It's beyond our control.

I swear I'm not making this up.

I thought they were making a paypal link for the Moderator Retirement Home Fund????????

Great Idea on the Thread by the way. Kudos.

Greetings! And welcome to The Information Index Thread.

Rdskn4Lyf21 had an idea he posted in the Feedback Forum which I thought was great: Start a help thread which would be a one-stop source for finding answers to frequently asked questions. He is busy with school right now, so I'm going to start the thread, and he'll help me with it periodically as time allows.

This Post #1 will hold an index to the other helpful threads on this site, by using the fairly new, powerful, but underused tag search function. If a member has a question about anything - anything at all - chances are it's been asked and answered somewhere at some point on this site. This thread will index the thread which we feel provides the best answer to the most commonly asked questions. This will be an ongoing and frequently updated project.

To find this thread at any time in the future, simply do a tag search on "info" or "index" or "help thread" and it'll pop right up.

Here are some answers to questions about:

New Season Ticket Holder Info? http://extremeskins.com/showthread.php?t=283836


Official ES Home Game Tailgate Info? These are organized and managed by Pez & Huly. A sticky will be found in the Tailgate Forum the week prior. Use Arena Dr, then bear right into the Green Lot. The group meets at the tree line opposite of Gate E near the lamp post that's marked E-43. If there is no ES Tailgate thread up at the moment, you can do a tag search on "es tailgate" for general info.


Official ES Away Game Tailgate Info? Depends on the venue. Blondie organizes and manages the @ Dallas Tailgate. Redskin-Roadtrips.com organizes and manages a number of the other away games to the benefit of extremeskins.com. Otherwise, it's up to whatever member wants to be willing to step up, take the reins, and start an Away Game Tailgate thread. These threads are normally stickied the week prior.


On-site Parking / Metro Options? For metro, use the Blue line to the Morgan Blvd stop and follow the crowd (see map in link below). For parking, lots normally open 4 hours prior to kickoff. Vehicles must possess an advanced-purchased colored parking pass which is clearly displayed prior to approaching all lots except the white (cash) lots. Recreation Vehicles require a special RV pass and must use the beltway Exit 17B Landover Rd/Brightseat Rd/Redskins Rd. (north) entrance. http://redskins.bridgelinesw.net/gen...rking_1620.jsp

Team Send-Offs and Welcome-Backs? A sticky is typically found in the Stadium Forum the week leading up to a road game. These are organized by Pez & Huly and take place at Redskins Park in Ashburn, VA.


Tickets on the after-market? For price, the Classifieds Forum on this site is great! Otherwise, I personally recommend an eBay auction, combined with a sniping site such as esnipe.com. That's your next best value. If you're more concerned with seat location, check this thread: http://extremeskins.com/showthread.php?t=263880

It would be cool if you could have your own site for this kind of stuff but If you cant find it on here, then I guess you aint gonna find it anywhere. this is useful especially with the hotel info. The only advice I can give is being able to post the metro times for the blue line. their site is very vague. it just shows the stops along the way to the morgan blvd. stop.

[Mark The Homer]

I don't believe there are set times for the metro rail, but the trains run frequently enough that it doesn't really matter. Thanks.

One other thing you'll find in the Forum Rules link above:

11. Please do not use the “Quote” feature to quote huge blocks of text or pictures.

If you would like to respond to the contents of a particular post, simply quote the sentence or idea that you're commenting upon, not necessarily the entire post. It wastes space on the database and unnecessarily extends and clutters threads.

Thanks again.
