Morgan Blvd on the Blue line is the stop for FedEx.  Give yourself about 20 mins to walk from the metro, but it's pretty easy.

Crap, the metro ride itself would be an hour commute.


I've never been to a huge stadium concert, is parking usually a cluster f*ck?


I'm planning on parking at New Carrollton from there it's only a 30 minute train ride... Isn't parking like $25 out there?

Also has anyone seen when gates and will call open for the show, the FedExField website only lists info on the games?  7:30 is probably when the show starts and seeing as I've got will call extra time will need to be added for picking up tickets.

yoko will walk upon the stage, demand a bed be placed upon, screech into the microphone for some amount of time . . . causing everybody to quit.

I thought parking was already included in the total price charged by TM.

The important thing is that he'll play "Jet." F U if you don't like that song.

That's correct, I wonder what happens if you have will call tickets though...  Anyone know when the parking lots open?

According to TM page Will Call opens two hours before the event...

when TM pre-charges everyone for parking, they generally don't check on the way in - you're waved through.  the assumption is that everyone has already paid... a vlid one, unless you're there just to tail-gate (but i suspect that someone calculated that it wasn't worth the cost/effort of screening out the few party crashers).

so even if your tickets are will-call, you shouldn't have a problem... other than traffic on the way out.

Stupid Question: Do a lot of people tailgate at these things/do the police actually monitor it?

via the McCartney fan forum

Parking lot opens at 4pm

Gates open at 6pm

Tailgating is allowed at Redskins games, no ideas if it's allowed at concerts....
