FedExField Guide

Landover

Last updated: 3/13/2026

Getting to and from Northwest Stadium is the primary challenge, as the venue sits isolated in a sea of Landover parking lots. Stay in Downtown D.C. or Arlington for better transit access and post-game options, which are limited near the stadium. Drivers must purchase parking passes online in advance, as they are not sold on-site.
