Sorry to say that $20 is not the most expensive parking for off site parking. My beloved Washington Redskins and their gloriously rich and free spending owner, Dan Snyder, charge $25 for off site parking. These lots are not adjacent to the stadium. They are in actuality located approximately 2 miles away from the stadium. The Redskins lease numerous lots from the business park nearby the stadium on game day. $25 for parking that is 2 miles away, although they are courteous enough to provide shuttle buses to the stadium parking lot, where you can walk an additional 1/4 mile to the gates. As much as I love my Skins, I cannot justify ticket and parking prices at FedEx Field. I suppose that's how you run the highest grossing revenue team in the NFL. Being that the stadium is located in the suburbs, mass transit is not an option like it when games were at RFK downtown. They also used to prevent people from parking at a run down mall parking lot about a mile away by blocking pedestrians on the one road closest to that lot that leads to the stadium. A recent ruling in court has since nullified that. Maybe next time I scrounge up a few hundred bucks for nosebleed seats, I can at least save an extra $25 for parking.
