U2 concert expected to draw 80,000 to FedEx Field


LANDOVER, Md. - Parking lots at FedEx Field open at 3 p.m. Tuesday for the U2 concert.

About 80,000 U2 fans will pack the stadium for the 7 p.m. concert, with the doors opening at 5 p.m.

The Central Avenue and Arena Drive exits are your quickest ways in from the Capital Beltway.

If you are driving from D.C., take East Capitol, which becomes Central Avenue.

If you are taking Metro, the Morgan Boulevard stop on the Blue Line is your best bet.

Metro will keep the station open until 1 a.m. and will run extra trains to help you get home after the show.

It is a 20-minute walk from the Morgan Boulevard station to FedEx Field.

** WTOP originally reported parking was free. However, there was an $8 surcharge added to the price of every ticket by FedEx Field. Source www.wtop.com
