Brian, you're one of the best things to ever happen to this board.

I'm pretty excited for the show tonight.

Quick question: I'm driving from Baltimore and was wondering if it is easier to park at the Verizon center or just park at Greenbelt and take the green line to Chinatown?

super excited as well!!  actually getting my other half out to a show!  first time in years!  in my opinion, parking at the verizon is the only way to go for seeing a show there.  so what if you wait a bit to get out with all the other cars.  you're right there.  and god i hate metro nowadays.  it seems the whole system, plus the people on it, have gone into the shitter here recently.

100% agree

you DO NOT want to park at greenbelt..

i'd recommend the parking @ greenbelt.  driving downtown will be a pain tonight.  parking will be extra-full - given the price of this show, i think the crowd will have a higher percentage of suburban drivers vs. metro'ers.  metro = 30-40 mins to let that last beer fade away before taking the wheel + not having to crawl out of a parking garage (and paying $25 for the privilege) and then fighting stop-n-go traffic (a portion of which will be drunk). 

if you do park at verizon, i'd recommend getting there on the early side. 

in terms of time, i think both options work out to be about the same.

I live in greenbelt and use the green line to go to concerts all the time, just use the wmata site to figure out the best time to catch a train heading downtown.   

I believe the verizon center pays metro extra to ensure trains are available when events are over.   I see lots of sports fans use that method of getting to games.

just get there early and do street parking like 3-4 blocks away (near 6th and I).....never had a problem parking there on a sunday...

Watch the orange and blue lines tonight at metro center and a few other stops.  Those stations are closed.  You have to get off at like McPherson square and take a shuttle to get around metro center.  Check the metro website for more details.

Thanks for the answers. The metro wins.

Pulled a pair in section 112, row S a few hours ago.  Would have bought them, had they been considerably less than the $500 they were asking.
