Metro readies for 2008 Redskins season

Metro is ready to provide the quickest and most convenient route to this season's Redskins games at FedEx Field.

Football fans using Metro will be able to avoid the expected traffic jams in the area. Metro's Blue Line takes riders directly to the Morgan Boulevard Metrorail station, less than a mile walk from the stadium.

After each game, Metro will have additional trains available for fans traveling home from the Morgan Boulevard Metrorail station.

As a result of new federal charter bus regulations, Metro is no longer providing shuttle bus service from the Landover Metrorail station to FedEx Field, and the Redskins have not made alternate arrangements with private charter bus carriers. To alert fans of this change, Metro posted signs at the Landover Metrorail station parking facility entrances announcing the service change and station managers at the Landover Metrorail station will distribute flyers that provide travel alternatives to FedEx Field. Metro will make special in-station and on-board train announcements reminding Orange Line riders of the service change, and advising them to ride the Blue Line to Morgan Boulevard and walk to the stadium from the station.

Individuals attending Redskins games who park their cars at the Morgan Boulevard (635 parking spaces) or Largo Town Center (2,200 parking spaces) Metrorail stations on the Blue Line will have to pay $25 to park and they must have a SmarTrip card to pay for parking when exiting these facilities. Paid parking at these two stations begins three hours before kickoff and continues two hours after the game concludes. Weekend parking at other Metrorail stations remains free.

Metro will have additional staff at the Morgan Boulevard Metrorail station to assist customers. Upon entering the Metrorail system, all fans should ensure that they have enough value on their farecards or SmarTrip cards for their round-trip.

For more information about riding Metrorail or Metrobus, call 202-637-7000, (TTY) 202-638-3780 or visit Metro's Web site at www.metroopensdoors.com.
