First time visiting this venue for the R&B concert. Strongly recommend reviewing the purse and bag restrictions prior to arrival. I learned the hard way from my visit to Capital One arena. If attending a sporting event or concert, allow time to navigate the slow moving traffic into the venue. Parking isn't free and it's also cashless. If you decide to pay the day of, the amount goes up. I did the prepay option and you have to have your QR code ready when the attendants are directing traffic. The parking spots were tight and I had to shimmy in and out of my vehicle. It'll also depend on how well someone parks next to you. The reserved parking was perfectly aligned with the entrance for our seating. It took a few minutes for ticket verification and directions to the seats. We were covered, so when it began to rain, we were unbothered. Here's the chaotic part, the bathrooms are atrocious. Ladies, make sure you have items in your bag so you don't have to drip dry. Upon exiting, everyone is racing toward the exits towards their vehicles. Driving across the grass medians and cutting people off. So definitely be patient and pay attention to your surroundings. There is no one directing traffic out of the lots, and it all converges to the lanes you navigated upon entry. Highly suggest you go to the bathroom before you leave as it took an hour to get out of the parking lot. Great concert and I'd return to this venue. Review the seating prior to purchase to determine the angle you'll be viewing from. At any venue, the drink prices will be inflated. My bestie ordered a Cutwater and it was $20. There is food served here but it's mostly fried options and popcorn and soft drinks. No outside food and drink are allowed. There were some people who parked elsewhere and walked. It can easily be a 22 minute walk from the outer perimeter to the stadium. There were a few pedi-cabs shuttling people (for a fee). If you know you're going to do a lot of walking, wear shoes that won't have you hurting at the end of the event. Review your tickets, if you leave, re-entry is not guaranteed. Plenty of merchandise available for sale but there were websites where you could buy the same merch for the same prices. read more

Northwest Stadium - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Landover, Maryland

This is the first time I went to this stadium for a concert. I have been to a football game but this experience was a bit different. I attended the Chris Brown/ Usher R&B tour on Saturday. Fortunately, our seats were located in a suite so we were not subjected to the weather which was great. However, getting to the suite was a headache. We were told that the doors to the suite were opening at 5:30pm for the 7pm show so we got in suite E line pretty early and ended up standing in line for 45 min. They only had one metal detector and 2 elevators working and wouldn't allow anyone to use the steps. I am getting ahead of myself. Prior to entering the stadium people were crowding and their were no distinct lines of organization for entering the stadium so everyone was everywhere. The staff were not very helpful either as they were lollygagging with guests. Once we were in the stadium we entered our suite which was great. We had food and drinks. However, the food was first come first serve so you had to get their early. Also, their were 45 people in our suite and we were only given 5 bottles of liquor and once the food was gone their were no replenishments. Beside the the food the view was great. The quality of the sound system and the performers were outstanding. Overall, it was a good experience. Not sure if I would return for a concert though. read more

The stadium is actually not as bad as people make it. The lower seats are actually quite nice. Staff are friendly and food selection is decent but drinks are sky high expensive. It is true not located near much and traffic is awful. It's quite a walk from Metro and some games and many concerts end after it closes. Hence the new DC stadium will be a welcome change plus having large concerts in the District on 3 metro lines will be a huge plus. The first game against the Seahawks (go Hawks) in 20 for Monday Night Football on the upper deck in 2021 was not impressive at all but beat the experience of the Dome in St. Louis. The upper deck in Baltimore is way better. However our last experience several rows back in the lower deck near the end zone for the Sunday Night Football game for a nearly sold out crowd in 2025 was amazing. While the Commanders (then Washington Football Team) beat the Seahawks narrowly in 2021, the Seahawks beat them in a landslide in 2025. We felt bad seeing poor Jayden Daniels get reinjured though. read more

Big stadium but the worst for seats if you're in the nose bleeds. There are no escalators or elevators (unless you're handicapped) so you have to basically hike up multiple ramps just to get to and from. The seats are also soooo close to each other that you're rubbing shoulders with your seat mates. So if you're not comfortable being claustrophobic I don't know if this is really for you. I've gone to this location for multiple concerts and it really just depends on where you're seated. Sound quality in the nosebleeds (section 400's) was horrible. read more

I've been to two concerts at the stadium this year and both have been great experiences. The food and drinks were traditional stadium prices. The worst thing is getting of the parking lot that took at least an hour after the R&B Tour as well as Bruno Mars concert. My experience is based off the 300 level, I'd definitely return for another concert. read more

Northwest Stadium - Tour floor usher concert - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Landover, Maryland

This is the closest stadium to my house, and I have been going for decades at this point. I have always enjoyed it because I've never had to worry about the chaos that is the parking there. My friend lives in the neighborhood right at the edge of one of the roads leading to it, so I usually park at the edge of that neighborhood and walk over. It takes a good 20 minutes or so, but I need the steps anyway. So if the weather is nice, it's a win-win. I have mostly been for football games and most recently a soccer game, which I really enjoyed. As you can expect in most stadiums, the food and drinks are very expensive. This was the first time, however, that I recognized a new vendor that owns a restaurant nearby that I frequent, and I couldn't believe that there was a 50% upcharge on all of the items, omg!! I don't recognize most of the vendors outside of the stadiums, but do all of them do that?! That's pretty wild. Anyways, I have always appreciated how efficiently lies to check in and go inside go, and my interactions with the various event staff have always been pleasant. I have witnessed a handful of folks getting dragged out and getting into arguments, but from what I can tell that's on them. I don't have too many other stadiums to use as a point of reference, but I've never had any particular issues with this one. read more

It gets a little frustrating that for major DC stadium concerts and events, we're forced to pay these premium prices for less than premium experiences. I've seen a good amount of major events and compared to other stadiums across the country, the former Fed ex field is bare minimum basic. The concourse is always packed with tons of lines. The concession prices are highly inflated. The ushers never check tickets and so there's always individuals sitting in the wrong seats. This also is an open air stadium so every event is at the mercy of the weather. read more

How did you spend your 4th of July????!!?? I spent mine rocking with Beyonce at the Northwest Stadium (formely FedEx Stadum) in DC. Very entertaining..... About the stadium - getting to and from the stadium is a bit overwhelming plan for stadium food prices (as popcorn was $12.99 - see size in pics - and margaritas were $28.99) The stadium is an open venue, so dress for the weather (also when dressing, plan to walk at least a mile for transportation - IF not parking at stadium *good walking shoes a MUST*) Of course, as with all stadiums (small bag or clear bag) - there are $15 lockers in case you forget About the show - Not a Beyonce fan - so show was mid (at best). I expected more dancing and showmanship but I sung the songs at the top of my lungs anyhow! read more

This is by far the worst stadium in the area. It has progressively become worse over the years. I went to the Beyoncé concert in July. Temperatures were sweltering. Parking was insane. I walked about 2 miles in the sun to the stadium. Upon entering, I was told to discard my unopened water for entry and that, "they selling water for $8 in there"...... There were no cooling stations or water easily accessible. The lines for water were extremely long. The bathrooms were disgusting and the heat/funk combination made them unusable. The experience was so bad that I would not go to another concert/event here. I would travel out of the area to see Beyonce again before I return here. read more

I attended the Chris Brown & Usher tour (7/13/26). The stadium was clean, had friendly staff, helpful signs to get there from Morgan Blvd Metro, and the seats were fairly comfortable. The performance was flawless and this entity aided in the overall production of it. read more

Great ambience and friendly staff members! The parking could be better. A few staff members pointed us in the wrong direction to the A lot. Aside from that, we had a great time! read more

I've been here a few times over the last 10 years as my friend is a season ticket holder for the Commanders and a super fan. She has VIP parking into the stadium which, if you can get it, is fabulous bc the interstate takes you right there and they prioritize traffic in and out for you. If you do not have that, parking is an absolute nightmare and we spent about two hours trying to get into a parking lot from a side street bc my husband decided the GPS said "it was faster" so he didn't listen and got off the interstate. Bad call. We missed kickoff and about 1.5 quarters of the game. The stadium itself is very nice and has tons of food options, shopping, and things to see and do while there. I enjoy the games here but, boy, is parking bad. read more

I got injured unfortunately before my Cowboy Carter show and I must say the staff really did help me navigate through that big stadium. The staff were amazing and so helpful. I had direct access via the ADA entrance to have an easy, hassle free entry into the venue. I was provided water and was escorted through the venue via wheelchair accessibility. The staff was very polite and emphatic to my injury and my needs. The Manager allowed me to sit in the ADA section to ensure my safety viewing the amazing show. After the show, I was escorted to the parking lot safely. I thought the staff did an amazing job and I can not wait for my next show. read more

The stadium itself is great once you're inside, but the parking situation really brings the experience down. Parking is disorganized, and the long lines make getting in a slow process. On a positive note, the restrooms were very clean, and the staff at the concession stands were friendly and helpful. Overall, I'd give it three stars mainly because of the parking issues. read more

Northwest Stadium - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Landover, Maryland

I know event parking can be a whole ordeal most times but the way Northwest stadium handled parking for the Night Nation run was so silly! There was no signage for the blocked off street leading to the venue (which is where most people's GPS will take them). After finding my way to the specified lot. There was a 30 minute back up in traffic as 2 people working for the venue stood outside taking manual payments on a hand held device for parking. Signs would have a least helped to explain what was going on, as people were looking for answers which caused more confusion with the line and made things take longer. read more

If you had asked me two years ago... maybe even only one year ago... I would not have recommended coming to an event here, especially a football game. The stadium was full of broken electronics (monitors, speakers), peeling paint, and a dingy look and feel all over. But... Since the Harris Group took over the team, the atmosphere and infrastructure have improved greatly. Let's see if that plays out for the rest of the season, but... in 2024, so far - so good! My one biggest complaint is still the traffic. It's a nightmare getting in and out for major events. I think the way they handle the road leading in and out from one side is fine, it's where this meets the main road (214) that things become a nightmare. The traffic light still gets in the way, and people don't pay attention, so you don't get through the light efficiently. Otherwise, things have gotten MUCH better inside the stadium. I'm hoping the on-field product keeping improving too, but this is about the facility only. ;) It's still a work in progress, I suppose, but things have gotten much better in the past year alone. I'm impressed. It's a place I'm proud to watch a game at now. read more

I felt welcomed in the home of a rival. The patrons around us were not rude, as we were Philadelphia Eagles fans. There were quite a lot of Eagles fans in the house. It was a cold, brisk day, with the sun shining directly on us, but it was comfortable. We were comfortable in our warm outdoor attire, and I didn't need gloves. Getting into the stadium was straightforward. Our seats were in the upper level and on the 50-yard line. The view was incredible! The prices on food and drink were typical for a stadium and the lines were not long shortly before halftime. Exiting the stadium was not straightforward. For about 15 minutes, we approached the parking lot only to find the walkway blocked. In the cold, brisk weather, now with no sun, we had to walk 3/4 of the way back around the stadium to the other side to access the parking lot. This was a bit much as our hands and feet began to get cold before we reached our car. read more

12.99 for popcorn? Seriously, get over your overpriced concessions!!! This is it a venue for those mixing their budgets. Also, did NOT appreciate the vendor who SELF tipped themselves! Be aware and make sure that YOU are pressing the buttons. They are SCAM artists who will swipe your card and give themselves a tip! read more

had tickets for the Colombia vs France friendly match, however we ended up missing half the game because of security/venue workers. A bunch of (mostly) rude people who would rather spend their time arguing and shouting at guests instead of trying to control the line. A bunch of people came in to create another line right next to us and they got priority over us, and security kept holding up everyone when someone spoke to them in a tone they didn't like. read more

We recently came to the stadium for a concert and the concert was AMAZING! Now that that is out the way the stadium itself, first off they said parking opens at 3pm, it did not. Next it was advertised that doors open at 5pm, they also did not. We waited right in front a gate with what appeared to be hundreds of people until about 6:15-6:30pm before the gates opened. There was no communication as to why the gates weren't opened or if things were delayed but that would have been extremely helpful. When it came to seats, no one was really helping guide people to their correct sections and rows the way I have seen at other stadiums we have been too. This left for many many many people to bother us what felt a ridiculous number of times about how we were in their seats, when they were in fact in the wrong section. The stadium can use some improvements in these areas, and we have never encountered this many mishaps at other stadiums. read more

This stadium couldnt' have been any worse. FedEx field just got renamed to Northwest stadium. Yesterday was the home opener. We paid extra money for GOLD LINE passes. We were in line for 45 minutes because apparently machines went down. This is the FIRST game of the season and the stadium folks can't even get it together to make sure everything is running smoothly and ensure enough staff is equipped. We asked one staff member where the gold line was and he had no idea! When we got up to the front of the line finally, I complained to the lady working that this was the worst service ever and she looked at me as if everything was fine. Their security machine went down and so did the ticket scanner. I thought things got better once Snyder left, but clearly MD still can't get it together. What an awful first experience. To whoever is running the scene, you did a horrible job yesterday and should be fired. read more

I had season tickets for many years to Redskin games. I didn't go to any games this past year. I lost interest and gave the tickets up. The traffic to and from the stadium is horrific.
