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!

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

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.

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.

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

[Mark The Homer]

okay thanks

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.

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!

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.

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".

lol ok. Can anybody tell I've never parked there?

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.

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.
