Helpful Metro site

The Metro website appears to be helpful. If you don't mind some cheesy baseball lingo thrown in this could prove to be a rather helpful tool if you plan on Metro-ing to and from the new stadium.

One Unofficial Option

I came across this today. It's an unofficial parking spot search on craigslist so it will update and change daily.

Metro?

i would like to believe that all the delays due to construction on the metro are going to be resolved by opening day....

it wasn't too long ago that i was late for a basketball game at the verizon center due to this issue. i, along with about 20 other people in a variety of georgetown hoya parafanalia, was stuck waiting at the dupont metro waiting for the train to come. the computers on the platform were also broken so we could not read any of the delay messages. we stood there on the platform, with the floor lights blinking, peering down an empty tunnel until we realized this was hopeless and scrambled back up to the street and began desperately trying to hail cabs. with 5 minutes till tip off we hailed down a cab outside of a nearby hotel. after waiting patiently in typical dc traffic we finally made it to the verizon venter about half way through the first quarter. not tragic, but certainly not something i would want to do again.

Parking at the new Washington Nationals Stadium

I have been a season ticket holder for the Nats and i must say that i am a little concerned about the upcoming season's parking issues. There are a few lingering questions i have been replaying in my mind. i would be interested to hear from other people who plan on attending some games this season about how they are going to get to and from the stadium.
