    A question about getting to FedEx field.

    I dont really want to drive out there since i've never been there so im thinking of taking the metro. I checked on the Redskins website and it says that I can take the orange line to the landover stop and from there I can take a shuttle bus that will take me to fedex field. What im wondering is if they will have the buses for the dc game or is it only for redskins games? Could I just walk from the station or is it too far?

    I have no clue how the jack-@sses will run things to fuk-ex....

    #103 of reasons why this game should be @ RFK...but again those $hitski pu$$ies will not play at our home!!!

    Hate to be negative here but I wouldn't count on Metro having shuttle busses available for this. I hope I am wrong. If you drive, be sure to leave Sunday. :)

    Worm's right about the carpools. I am sure someone will help you out.

    Re: A question about getting to FedEx field.

    Morgan Blvd. is one of the new stations on the Blue Line, and is fairly close.

    And by fairly close, I mean less far.

    I got my tickets yesterday, and there was some information about how to get there enclosed.

    Yep. Brand new morgan blvd stop is super close. not far at all. short walk. maybe 1/4 to 1/2 mile. to the actual stadium (the parking lots start real close to the stop, so the distance is actually to Fed ex)

    map from stationmasters.com

    http://www.stationmasters.com/System_Map/MORGANBD/morganbd.html

    great new stop.

    In that case, make sure he gets very lost on the way to the stadium.

    There will be a small contingent leaving from Kilroy's around 3:30 or so. We'll just pile people in cars and carpool. Anybody feel like driving or need a ride PM me.

    Thanks. I'll let Chico know if I can drive anybody (I may or may not be in the area prior to the game).

    Metro to FedEX Field

    Does anyone know the closest metro stop to FedEx? Also will there be a shuttle from the metro to the field?

    Thanks in advance!

    Re: Metro to FedEX Field

    Are there actually sidewalks all the way to the stadium?

    I thought there was some issue at one point where there was no place for pedestrians to walk except if they got in the traffic lanes, or has that all changed in the last few years?

    yes, there are sidewalks. Directly from the metro to the stadium

    map:

    http://www.stationmasters.com/System_Map/MORGANBD/morganbd.html

    The main issue around walking to the stadium was walking up from the Landover Mall area (walking down Brightseat RD from Sheriff/202). Snyder wanted people to pay to park or have miles of walking around the stadium from the places you can park for free. Went to court and Snyder and the cops had to let people walk.

    Re: Metro to FedEX Field

    Nah, there's always been sidewalks there. What you're thinking about is the scam that the 'Skins were trying to run in order for people to buy $5 shuttle rides. The team said that the sidewalks weren't wide enough and that groupls of people would just start wandering into the road.
