Audi Field Parking

Last updated on November 29th, 2023 at 07:53 am

Audi Field is the Major League Soccer home to D.C. United. The soccer-specific stadium opened up in 2018 and sits out at 1000 Potomac Ave, SW, Washington DC 20024. In addition to being the home of D.C United, the venue is also home to the Washington Spirit Nationals Womens’ Soccer League Team.

 

Here are the parking tips when heading to the venue on game day!

 

Official Parking around Audi Field

 

The Geico Garage where National Park is can be used for certain games for parking. However, this lot does operate on a case-by-case basis, so there is no grantee it will be open for an MLS match. The other lots that are near the venue include One Parking, Colonial Parking, and Lot 147. 

 

Please visit the official parking page of Audi Field to get the complete breakdown on parking.

 

My Recommendation on Parking + Experience with SpotHero

I recommend that fans traveling to a game use SpotHero to find parking. I’ve found parking deals going for half as much in price compared to what the parking lot nearest the arena is going for. What I like about the service is that you can see the parking rates and the distance to the venue on the map. I suggest booking something that is about ten minutes or so walk away from the venue since that becomes the best price and distance from the arena. Anything past that can save you more money, but a twenty-minute walk may push it for some fans.

 

Also, I’ve been using SpotHero for years and have never had a problem booking a parking space through the website or app.

 

Audi Field Handicap Parking

All official gates around the venue are ADA accessible. If you have any questions about accessible parking, you can ask the parking staff on game day where you should park. The parking staff can help direct you to the best parking lot closest to your seat to get in and out of the stadium.

 

In addition to handicap parking, fans can also take advantage of the free shuttle to and from Audi Field for fans with special needs and accommodations. Check out the ADA guide from D.C United to learn more about this free service.
 

Is there Tailgating in the Parking Lots?

There are plenty of bars around Nationals Park that fans can visit before heading to Audi Park. The walk from the bars at Nationals Park to Audi Field is less than ten minutes, so it is an ideal meetup spot for fans to meet up at before a game.

 

Also, be sure to visit the Audi Field Bag Policy guide to see what you can and cannot bring into the stadium. Finally, visit the Audi Field Food Guide to see what you can eat at the stadium.
 

Should I take Public Transportation to the Venue?

Fans looking to take public transportation to the venue can use the Navy Yard Metro Station. The walk from the Navy Yard to Audi field is about .6 miles, so it takes about 15 minutes to walk. Taking public transportation is a good idea if fans want to pregame at the bars around Nationals Park as they head over to the game. Fans will need to walk by Nationals Park if they choose to take the train, so it is a good in-between spot for fans to grab drinks and food with friends before the game.

 

Along with that, fans can bike to the soccer stadium on game day. Taking your bike to and from Audi Field tends to be the fastest way to get in and out of the stadium.

 

Finally, fans can use a rideshare program like Uber and Lyft to get to and from the stadium.
