So easy for me to get to. So easy in and out, compared to MPP. I know the area very well, so it is the only reason I love it. Access. It's a fine venue too, and usually a drunk rager in the parking lot.
Easy in and out to Nissan?
Words nobody said ever
actually, i've said this - exactly once. for the radiohead show (2006?), they encouraged carpooling by giving preferential treatment to multi-person vehicles and we were 5 packed into our car. we got there early (very quick entry to the parking lot) and were ushered to a spot within 100 feet of the main gate. as folks will recall it was raining torrentially that day so we tail-gated in the car for at least an hour. weeeeee. knowing the setlist for the tour we hightailed it outta there when they started the last song, caught most of it from the back of the lawn, and heard the final applause as we got in the car. drove straight outta there, no waiting, and we were on I-66 about 60 seconds later.
yes, i realize these were exceptional circumstances. otherwise, hutch is absolutely correct: Nissan/Jiffy/whatever you wanna call that soulless corporate temple is a hellish nightmare to get in and out of. we missed half of a coldplay concert once as we crawled at 2 miles an hour to get into the parking lot despite having left DC 3 hours beforehand (insert predictable "you should have been thankful" comments here...)
