The employees bus is the first one, right? They may be having employees park in Lot 7 and take a bus from there, then shifting all the other bus operations over to Lot 8 to service the fans. Like malls do when they have employees park in the fringe lots to keep prime space available for customers.<BR/><BR/>Usually when there's a shift in Nats Express operations over to Lot 7 they make lots of announcements to alert fans of that. I've seen none of that as of yet, although there have been lots of announcements from the team about the Metro issues.An Briosca Morhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06855174362787324401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-9930166013340758722008-05-09T09:27:00.000-04:002008-05-09T09:27:00.000-04:00Employees got a note saying that it would be lot 7...Employees got a note saying that it would be lot 7 this weekend.<BR/>Assumed that meant soccer, maybe it is another eventAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-77660038718802094072008-05-09T07:50:00.000-04:002008-05-09T07:50:00.000-04:00Saturday is also a soccer game, so lot 7 will be t...<I>Saturday is also a soccer game, so lot 7 will be the lot utilized, not lot 8.</I><BR/><BR/>What soccer game? <A HREF="http://web.mlsnet.com/schedule/scoreboard/season.jsp?team=t103" REL="nofollow">DC United's schedule</A> shows no game this Saturday (5/10), an away game on Saturday 5/17, and the next Saturday game at RFK not unti 5/24.<BR/><BR/>Should be Lot 8 for Nats Express this weekend.An Briosca Morhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06855174362787324401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-87907187438487742312008-05-08T19:26:00.000-04:002008-05-08T19:26:00.000-04:00This isn't for everybody, but for those fans who d...This isn't for everybody, but for those fans who don't mind walking, you can get out at Capitol South on the Blue/Orange line and walk a mile south on First St. then New Jersey Avenue till you get to the ballpark.
