i usually drive from NoVA but need to go from baltimore tomorrow. any idea how bad the drive is? if i leave by 5 would i make it in time to grab a bite and see the game? recommendations on route? i thought of maybe taking greenbelt metro but it might be just as quick to drive all the way.

I live in Towson and always take 95 to the Greenbelt Station. It's about 40 minutes. Then from the Greenbelt Station to Verizon Center, it's another 25 minutes. No worries about finding parking or anything and you get dropped off right at Verizon Center.

My 2 cents.

I'd say driving to Greenbelt Metro, and taking it to Chinatown is the best route. If you drive all the way to the game, once you get into the city, the traffic will probably be a mess around that time.

if you do drive, avoid New York Avenue at all costs if you coming down the BW Parkway

i always park in and around 5th and F if I go to a game or even down E st

what roads do you take to avoid New York Avenue?

if you using BW Parkway, get off at South Dakota Avenue and use Rhode Island Avenue (make a left and go all the way down)

or you can get up to michigan avenue and just come all the way down north capitol and make a right at rhode island or new york to get to 5th or 7th and go down there
