Def sucks out there for traffic.  And parking.  $50.  $58 in advance (TM fees).

to note: For GnR last year, the print-at-homes were not scanned.   
What do you mean the print-at-homes were not scanned?
The barcode on the printout, via Ticketmaster purchase, wasn't scanned at the parking lot.   Thus any printout of parking pass woulda gotten in (so....multiple copies of one person's parking pass....)      Obv this coulda been an isolated occurrence so can't necessarily depend on this.  But worth mentioning.    Ethics can be called into play but hey, it's not a ticket and the promoter is not getting screwed.  It would be AWFUL to deprive Dan Snyder of some parking revenue, I know, but these are rough times...

is metro somehow not an option?

How is the metro these days to FedEx, I hear there is a bus in case you don't want to walk the mile+?  Afterwards will be a ClusterF of course so you'd have to leave during the encore..

Fed ex field site says concert should end around 11.15pm.

Last metro leaves at 11.27 and it's a mile from the stadium. You'd need to give yourself probably 40 minutes to get out of the stadium and walk down to the station to comfortably make the train.

I'm not missing that much of the concert so it looks like ridesharing to get back to DC. I'm in SW so anyone in my neighborhood or on the Hill, if you want to somehow carpool/ridesharepool back let me know.

I wonder how long of a walk this would be.  I'd rather give this company my money then give Snyder $50:

0.8 walking the road or straight through a house.

Tough crowd on this board.

Click on Reserve and it gives you the address. Then you google map the walk from there to fedex. It's actually 1.1 miles.

It looks like you could park for free at Magic Johnson Cinemas and walk from there.

The guy with the tour is telling me that U2 goes on at 8:40 and that there is an 11:00 curfew.  I'm going with the metro.
