About this Location

Facility Overview

Joyce Parking at 1900 Half St SW offers convenient open-air surface parking nestled in the rapidly transforming Buzzard Point and Capitol Riverfront neighborhoods of Southwest Washington, D.C. As an outdoor surface facility, it eliminates the vertical height restrictions typical of underground parking garages in the District, making it exceptionally well-suited for full-size pickup trucks, large SUVs, work vans, and passenger vehicles equipped with roof racks or cargo carriers. The lot features a straightforward, flat layout with clear driving lanes and on-site staff during major events to assist with traffic flow and stall assignments.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because of its prime location directly adjacent to Audi Field, game-day parking demands are exceptionally high. Drivers are strongly encouraged to reserve parking passes in advance through online booking portals to lock in spaces and avoid event-day price increases. When departing following sellout stadium events, traffic on Half Street SW and Potomac Avenue SW can experience brief delays; departing via South Capitol Street toward the highway network offers the quickest outbound route.
