    As far as parking, if anyone is in the military you can park at Ft. McNair if you have a CAC card which is right behind the stadium and only a one block walk to the stadium.

    I lived at Ft. McNair as a teenage dependent, but it does me no good now - sigh.....

    Just got an email from my ticket rep that the Nats Park garage will be open for Saturday's match. No word on whether this is permanent and it's also rather expensive at $50, but could be a game changer for parking at Audi Field going forward.

    Here are the instructions in that email (which seem odd to me -- pay on the way out? cash only? -- so I thought I'd include them here):

    I doubt all the cars could get out of that garage in an hour. I believe we have tickets to two more games this season, and I won't spend a penny of my money if it goes to the Lerners.

    $50?! Haha

    Such a bargain.

    I was going to say that sounds like a real disaster if everyone pays on the way out since people arrive at different times but everyone leaves at the same time. I guess if you have to pay first and then leave it might be slightly better if they have enough pay stations operating. It doesn't make much logistical sense though. But I expect nothing more from this disorganization.

    yes, but please to remember that parking lot is owned, managed and operated by the Lerners. So while Leviathan and co. have rightly deserved much of the bellyaching that comes their way, in this case - not so much.

    They followed up with a correction today to indicate that payment will be by card only, not cash.

    I park at one of two lots by the waterside metro station. They are $15-$16, its an easy flat 2/3 mile walk, and easy entry from Va via 395.

    The walk from there is very nice since a lot of it is shaded.

    The downside is you're not close to any of the bars and restaurants near Nats Park and the Navy Yard station if you park there (what's available at Waterfront is very limited).

    Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge and portions of South Capitol Street are closed. We encourage fans who are planning to drive to access Audi Field via the SW/SE Freeway (DC-395 & DC-695) and/or via Maine Avenue SW and M Street SW.

    Audi Field remains accessible to both vehicular and pedestrian traffic from Half Street SW, First Street SW, and Second Street SW. Capital Bikeshare are deploying additional stations to accommodate extra riders at the intersection Half Street SW and Potomac Street SW beginning at 3:30pm.

    The club are continuing to work with the DC Department of Transportation to closely monitor the situation and will share updates here as they come.

    Hopefully with all that solar they also promised.

    Would have been so much cheaper to do it up-front.

    There's already solar paneling on the part of the roof that is completed. Unless you're asking them to add even more solar panels to the expanded roof.

    Ah, I did not remember if that had happened, or what percentage of hoped-for capacity it was.

    So good on them if they already have enough. But with more, they could sell it to the neighborhood bars to run SG-discounted taps :D

    Heh.

    You were right in the initial post, though. It would have been a lot cheaper to finish it during original construction. Boggles the mind why they never did. But some of the renderings even into 2017 showed the roof in its current form (no covering on the entire thing) so...

    It may have caused an opening delay.

    FYI, nationals game last night was rained out so they have a double header tonight. First game was earlier today as originally planned. They now have a second game at 6:05.

    Parking tonight should be interesting...

    I don't see the jetpack platform or the place to frolic with our ponies either.
