I am an idiot who is going to go to that dump on Thursday to watch our dump play.
Coming from Delaware and planning on getting to the stadium by 6pm or so just to be safe. I don't care about tailgating at all. It looks like best advice I am seeing.. is to park farther away from the stadium due to 1. Cheaper 2. Easier to get out after the game. If so, where would be that? Jericho Church perhaps?
It is $60 for a parking pass and I'd rather save $20 or so if it means a longer walk and more pain-free exit from the complex. Thought about parking at a metro station and metro-ing in but it sounds like that isn't worth the hassle.
Any advice would be great, thanks. Anyone else making the trek?
Good luck and let us know how it works out!
I actually find the fans to be pretty cool for giants games.
It hasn't happened every time, but I've definitely been told that due to my jersey that I'm really close to getting my ass kicked. Usually at the end of the game. Usually its one jerkoff with all of his jerkoff friends. I just ignore and walk away.
Regarding the parking situation - I've had nothing but miserable experiences driving in and out of that place. I don't bother to go anymore. I've turned down free tickets multiple times.
We were handily beating them but the other team we needed was in a seesaw match with their opponent. They kept showing the other teams scoring plays to the delight of the Washington fans which made them rowdier and more obnoxious.
The team we needed to have lose ended up winning.
Even though we ended up winning, the crowd was jeering us as we left because we didn't make the playoffs.
There were fights outside all the way out to where we parked about a 1/2 mile away. It was miserable and a bit scary because fans were running around trying to start fights or shouting insults or throwing things.
I went with my boss, his son and another older friend. It was worse than going to an Eagles game in Philly.
The stadium is old, the parking is atrocious and the fans that night were nothing short of hooligans.
Good Luck! I will never go back there.
Was all good because we won it all the following year.
