Audi Field opened in 2018 in the Buzzard Point neighborhood of Southwest D.C. and serves as home to D.C. United. It holds 20,000 fans in a modern, soccer-specific facility with a partial roof structure that keeps the atmosphere contained. The stadium is tucked near the confluence of the Anacostia and Potomac Rivers, giving it a somewhat isolated feel from the main parts of the city — but that's changing as the surrounding neighborhood develops.
The Navy Yard Metro station on the Green Line is about a 15-minute walk, or buses run more directly on matchdays. The waterfront development along the Anacostia is growing, with the Yards Park and a cluster of restaurants nearby. Buzzard Point itself is still developing, so most fans pregame in Capitol Hill or the Navy Yard neighborhood before heading over. The stadium itself is well-built and a significant upgrade over RFK Stadium, where United played for years.
DCA is just 4 miles from Audi Field. The Metro Silver/Blue/Yellow Lines connect the airport to Navy Yard-Ballpark on the Green Line in under 25 minutes. Dulles is much farther and needs a rideshare or the Silver Line.
Limited ADA spaces in nearby lots. Reserve in advance through DC United. Accessible drop-off is on Potomac Ave SW near the main entrance. Accessibility services: dcunited.com.
Very limited on-site parking. Nearby Navy Yard and Capitol Riverfront surface lots and garages are expensive and fill fast on match days. Take the Metro instead.
Supporters groups (La Barra Brava, Screaming Eagles) gather before matches in the Capitol Riverfront bars along Half St and N St SW. Dacha Beer Garden and nearby spots are popular.
Navy Yard-Ballpark station on the Green Line is a 5-minute walk from the main entrance. The Green Line runs from downtown (Gallery Place, Archives) and the Yellow/Blue/Silver interchange at L'Enfant Plaza. WMATA runs extended service on match nights.
Audi Field is in Capitol Riverfront. The Anacostia waterfront, Half St restaurants and Navy Yard are all walkable. Eastern Market and Capitol Hill are a 20-minute walk north.
Bike parking near Audi Field. Capital Bikeshare has stations throughout Capitol Riverfront and Navy Yard. The Anacostia Riverwalk Trail and protected bike lanes connect from Capitol Hill, the National Mall area and Anacostia.

Audi Field is a compact soccer-specific stadium that opened in 2018 in the Buzzard Point neighborhood of Washington DC. The lower bowl is close to the touchline. The district skyline is visible beyond the stadium.
Upper bowl midfield gives a solid overhead view at a lower price, and the compact design keeps it close to the action. Good value on weeknights, when lower bowl prices spike for high-profile matchups.
End goal sections have a steep angle to the far goal, and you miss much of the build-up. Corners are similarly restricted. La Barra and Screaming Eagles bring great energy to the end stands, but expect a limited view.
Audi Field runs roughly north-south, so the east side stands get more direct afternoon sun for evening kickoffs. The west side shades earlier, a real advantage in July and August heat and humidity.
Open-air with limited shade. Afternoon thunderstorms are regular from June through August, so check the forecast. Spring and fall evenings can be cold. Buzzard Point, near the Anacostia River, adds some humidity.
Main Concourse - The U Street institution's famous half-smoke. The chili dog is the one to get.
Section 120 - Fresh, made-to-order tacos and burritos.
Throughout the Stadium - Local craft brewery pouring its flagship Penn Quarter Porter and rotating seasonal taps.
La Barra Brava, the Screaming Eagles, and allied D.C. United supporter groups organize pre-match tailgates near Audi Field before home matches. The Southwest Waterfront area has several bars and restaurants for pre-match gathering. Check supporter group social media for current tailgate locations and times.
D.C. United's supporter groups — La Barra Brava and Screaming Eagles — are two of the oldest in American soccer, and they fill sections 136–137 at Audi Field with tifo, smoke, and chanting that rarely stops. Non-D.C. United apparel is not permitted in the supporter sections.
The Screaming Eagles keep a full song sheet on their website — screaming-eagles.com/chants-songs.
The southern end has family-friendly sections with limited alcohol sales and kid-focused games along the concourse.
Nursing: Mamava Nursing Pod just inside Gate A near Stroller Check-in. Unlock via the Mamava app or ask the Gate A Guest Services booth.

Sensory/quiet space: KultureCity Sensory Room (donated by the Costabile Family) atop Heineken Tower near Gate A, with bean bags, light panels, bubble walls and tactile art. Sensory bags (headphones, fidget tools, cue cards) at the Gate A Guest Services Booth.
Tip: Child wristbands with seat location and emergency contact are at Guest Services behind Section F1 or in the Fan Plaza on match day.
