Transit and approach
Accessible via the Metrorail Blue and Silver lines at the Morgan Boulevard station. A shuttle service is typically available for events.
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.

Rideshare and parking
Rideshare: Rideshare pick-up and drop-off is located in the Red Zone Lot, at the back side of the Red Zone Parking Lot, approximately a 5-minute walk from Gate A. Enter your destination as the Prince George's County Sports Complex, 8001 Sheriff Rd, Hyattsville MD 20785. Drivers generally will not accept post-event pickups at the stadium itself due to traffic; follow directional signage to the Rideshare lot on game day.
Parking: Most parking lots at Northwest Stadium require advance online (cashless) purchase and were sold out for the 2025 Commanders season; resale may be available. The exception is the Gray Lot, which is cash-only, cannot be pre-purchased, and operates day-of on a first-come, first-served basis — it can sell out 2-3 hours before game time, after which only third-party lots remain.
After the event
Dining options immediately adjacent to the stadium are limited; most post-game activities occur in nearby D.C. or Arlington.
