    Just wondering if anyone has parked at RFK stadium before, or if anyone knows if its ok to park. I have a friend there and was trying to get him close to the capitol and the monuments. I gave him the general info number there to call in the morning but if anyone can help thanks.

    It's in cases like this where it just might be a lot faster to all the stadium and ask the horses mouth! Safer also.

    Washington DC has a strict law of going inside the I-495 circle. Usually it's straight in to deliver and straight out. Unless his bills show he's delivering at RFK, I wouldn't be parking there. They might think you are a terrorist or something. I'd say your only available option is to park at the customer or stay outside the circle. Going in as a tourist is not an option. He better park outside the circle and get a taxi in.

    Just an fyi for anyone interested in parking a truck and sight seeing you can park at FedEx field but I would call them first so they know you are coming. just off of 495 at the arena drive exit and then walk a mile to the subway into D.C. right by the capitol.

    Be careful.
    I wouldn't trust anyone affiliated with FedEx.
    FedEx = lying scumbags.
    They screwed me over, they'll screw you too.

    They won't screw me, I don't go over there. It was for one of my friends he parked there for 4 hours today and had no problems, he also forgot to lock the passenger door the whole time and no one messed with it. He said when he called them he talked to 2 different managers and they were cool with it.

    Anywhere in the actual Distric of DC you are not legally allowed with a 53 foot trailer, you can get a permit, but it takes 2 weeks!
