Please note that there are no shuttles from the station to the stadium unless you need a Metro Access van, which can be scheduled in advance of Northwest Stadium events through Metro Access. Trips can be scheduled online or by contacting WMATA by phone. Metro Access Vans will drop off and pick up at Gate A and Gate E pre- and post-event.

RIDE SHARE LOT POWERED BY LYFT
Using Rideshare?
Rideshare pick-up/drop-off is located in the Red Zone Lot.
Ride Share users are advised NOT to request a pick-up at the stadium after the game or event. Ride Share drivers generally will not accept rides due to the traffic surrounding the stadium after an event. Ride Share users are recommended to use the Metro to travel home or travel a stop or two and request a pick-up from a Metro station away from the stadium.

Please allow additional travel time during peak festival hours and plan accordingly.
