Audi Field
Washington, DC · Stadium
Audi Field enforces a clear bag policy for concerts as well as soccer, and the stadium would rather you bring no bag at all. If you do carry one, it can be no larger than 14 by 14 by 6 inches, and it has to be a clear bag or a cinch bag that fits within that size. A small clutch purse up to 4.5 by 6.5 inches is the one non-clear option. Backpacks, coolers, and luggage are all turned away. The stadium at Buzzard Point in Southwest DC sets up separate lanes for fans with bags and fans without, so packing light or clear moves you through faster. Medical bags and special circumstances are handled by the guest experience team, so email ahead if you need an accommodation. Check your event page before you head down to the waterfront, then show up with a clear 14 by 14 by 6 bag or a small clutch and you are set.

No bag that fits? Plan ahead
Audi Field does not advertise general bag storage, so a backpack or oversized bag should stay in your vehicle. Separate lanes for fans with and without bags mean the less you carry, the faster you enter.

Getting there
Gates open
Concert gate times vary by show and are on your event page. Separate lanes serve fans with and without bags, so arrive early or bring no bag.
Parking
Buzzard Point and Navy Yard garages serve the stadium, and prepaying a spot beats circling on a busy night.
Public transit
Metro's Green Line to Navy Yard-Ballpark station is about a 15 minute walk, and a game-day shuttle sometimes runs from there, the easiest car-free option.
Rideshare
Use the designated drop-off zones near the stadium and set your pickup a couple of blocks out after the show.
