Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a smooth experience, we recommend using a navigation app to confirm real-time traffic conditions, especially on game days. During high-attendance events at Nationals Park or Audi Field, this lot is likely to reach capacity quickly; we highly suggest arriving at least 60 to 90 minutes before the scheduled start time. If the facility supports pre-booking through mobile platforms, securing your spot in advance is the most reliable way to guarantee access. Always ensure your vehicle is parked within the marked stall lines to avoid citations and to help maintain an orderly flow for other drivers.
