Some questions about Fedex Field: Getting there, parking and so on

[njxbean]

So i am bringing my brother to the colts game at Fedex and i have a few questions. We got the dream seats but the tickets didnt come with parking. What is the best approach to getting to and from the stadium? We are staying at the marriott courtyard in landover. Is it easy to take a cab to and from the stadium? Do cabs line up outside the stadium afterwards? What about parking? what is the easiest parking option to get us closest to the stadium if we chose to drive? How much would it cost? my brother cant walk very far and we wont be tailgating so if we were to drive, i want to make it as easy as possible.

Thanks!

I don't know how easy or hard it is to take a cab. But the cab won't get in past the lot gate which is roughly four tenths of a mile from the stadium.
Easiest parking option is orange parking which will take you to the ring road. So will purple parking. So will platinum parking. You have to buy those passes on the aftermarket. Cost varies. $50 minimum.

thanks i will do that. Which color lot gets me closest to the stadium?

[Leonard Washington]

Unless you have someone elderly with you, orange parking is good enough. If you get there early, you can get reasonably close to the stadium.

Platinum/Purple is the closest to the stadium, it's also the most expensive.

Orange is a just a tad farther and more economical.

The Orange D lot is right on the curb.

I suggest you look at the parking map.

So i notice Purple lot parking is available for purchase to dream seat holders. How much might that cost? Can i purchase directly from fedex or do i need to find them on ebay or stubhub?

You don't WANT to be closest to the stadium, you want to be closest to the exits. In my opinion anything beyond Green or Orange is a pain in the ass, you are just adding hours to your departure time.

Oh you are so wrong. If you sit on the lower level and go immediately to your car, you will coast out of the parking lot before anyone else is even in their car. The last two games, I left and did not stop once until I hit Central Blvd. If you are parking in purple or orange, you will be on Morgan Blvd or Redskins Road long before the others get to their vehicles. I highly recommend a lot off Morgan Blvd. Much less traffic than Redskins Road.

Yes, i do want to be close to the stadium. I want as little walking for my brother as possible. I dont mind sitting in traffic afterwards if i have to.

So does anyone know the prices for the different types of parking?

The south side lots off of Morgan Blvd. provide the easiest in-n-out as S&S mentioned. Most Beltway users take the other two arteries into Raljon. The Morgan Blvd. lots don't pack in as tightly as the north and east sides. Also less proned to conflict between tailgaters and vehicles attempting to park.

don't lose your car. You'll have trouble getting home otherwise.
