Tickets

Parking

There are no on-site parking lots. Nearby garages can be booked in advance (SpotHero lists options), including the GEICO Garage. Tailgating is not allowed in the garage.
Local fan tip: Military ID / CAC holders can often park free at Fort McNair (Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall), right across 2nd St SW from the stadium. Base access rules apply. Under the base's event-day parking policy, on weekends and federal holidays a vehicle with a valid DoD ID card holder on board may use non-reserved spaces. On weekdays, entry before 4:30 PM is limited to official business, and event parking is suspended on days with major base events.

Transit

Best stop: Navy Yard–Ballpark (Green Line). It's still a walk, about 0.6 miles or roughly 13 minutes, but the route is signed and lined with restaurants.
Waterfront (Green Line) is the other option, about 0.9 miles or roughly 16 minutes on foot. The walk passes through residential streets, so keep the noise down.

Tailgating

Audi Field has no traditional lot tailgating. Defenders fans gather at pregame events near the stadium; check the team's game-day page.
