Official Cash Lot Parking Thread (merged)

[SonnyandSam]

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 . 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.

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

I walked into the owner's office and talked to him personally. Yes it 100% exists.

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

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

[tshile]

i assume thats what i means

[Mark The Homer]

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.

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!
