[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you live in Potomac Yards, Del Ray, Rosemont or off of Slaters and didn't oppose the arena then, you should now because guess where people who don't want to pay $75 to park will park?!

BTW the parking for Nats games has gotten insane. We used to park underneath the Salt Line for about $30, then during covid the surface lots across from the stadium playground entrance (2 HUGE lots) were developed into high rises and now we can't find anywhere to park less than $60. $75 is right around the corner.[/quote]

Aren’t there a lot of cheap surface lots near the Audi Field soccer complex?[/quote]

Not that I’ve been able to find that are even relatively safe. At all. The game night before the shooting outside the Nats game in 2022, we parked in a crazy surface lot we had found on parking panda or spot hero in advance to discover it’s one of those lots where they cram all the cars in, you have to give them your keys and it’s a nightmare to leave. When we finally were able to leave there was an inebriated person passed out behind our car; the lot attendants had to physically move him down the alley and then all the one way streets on that side of Capitol Street you’re driving through some of the worsts streets in DC. They’ve since built something on that lot on Capitol but it was right where the shooting occurred the next night.

I usually now look on StubHub/Ticketmaster for parking passes to one of the attached garages or take metro (which is fine to get there but crazy to leave).  I don’t think Leonsis will have an issue finding people to pay $75 but there will be plenty of people who won’t want to pay (who really does) that look for on street parking in surrounding neighborhood making it even more gridlocked.[/quote]
