Audi Field

Beautiful and Intimate Field. Not a bad seat in the house truly. Every seat feels like you are In The action and part of the game. Great food options. Chicken tenders are fantastic!

I’ve only been here for DC Defenders games. I have enjoyed my experience every time. I have sat in several locations and there doesn’t really seem to be a bad seat in the place.

Pretty solid stadium experience. The seats where we were sitting were pretty steep. But the game was fun and the atmosphere was also really fun. The chicken and food places can back up really badly so make sure to time getting your snacks to not miss action.

Went to watch DC United vs NY Red Bulls. Sadly DC couldn't pull through, but it was such a great first experience. Everything was greatly organized. The women's bathroom I went was super clean. Going out of the stadium was also really organized and stress free. Looking forward to start going to more games there

Audi Field is the home of D.C. United, DC Power FC, Washington Spirit, and the DC Defenders UFL football team. The stadium is well-designed with wide concourses that make it easy to walk around and explore. All seats offer great views of the action, and there are a handful of luxury box seats for those seeking a premium experience. There are numerous concession vendors around the concourse, though I have to mention that prices are beyond ridiculous for what you get. They also made a change this year by removing the soft drink machines, so no more souvenir cups with unlimited refills during a game – a bit of a bummer. The bathrooms are acceptable, and the sound system and video boards are solid, adding to the overall game-day experience. Overall, Audi Field is a good venue with some minor drawbacks, especially when it comes to pricing and the loss of refillable drinks.

Worst stadium you can ever go to from the parking to the seating to the amenities it’s absolutely a waste of money and if it wasn’t for this being the selected place for a dc school graduation I would never go there this is my second time being disgusted by this place never again!!!! Do better It’s graduation and they have so many senior people standing stating there isn’t enough seating but clearly if they planned correctly since we all had to have tickets no seating is absolutely a spit to the face as you can see It’s 145 and they are just starting the graduation since we all sat in line for over an hour just to get in

May 2025: Another great trip to Audi Field to watch the DC Defenders! Great seats behind one of the end zones. People around us were good neighbors. Everyone seemed to have a great time and the Defenders won; so what more could you ask for?! I will say the weather was beautiful for game day....sun mixed with clouds and highs in the 70s....perfect. You are exposed in most of the seating areas at Audi, so just be aware and plan accordingly. The stairs are also steep and there are a lot of them if you get tickets for seats in the upper deck. The food and beverage options are pretty good as well. You'll certainly get your steps in. We'll be back! :-) 2024: Cool stadium with a great view from almost any seat. The stadium stairs are pretty steep though and much of the seating has no cover; so be prepared to be exposed to the elements and wear good shoes. The concessions are pretty decent in quality and variety. The access from the metro is definitely a plus. I plan to come back for another DC Defenders game and other events. Thanks!

The seats were great. Not a good game for DC United, but it was a beautiful night for soccer.

The last game I saw at RFK by DC Armory was 20+ some years ago... so my visit at Audi Field was exciting! Premium ticket holders have amazing access - facilities are impressive, arriving early for pregame, parking nearby are always a win! The open bar, open seating, and food options at the lounge were all great! The staff are all extemely helpful and friendly.

Truth& Service Classic: Howard v Hampton football game. Nice-sized field in the heart of DC. Get a box; they don't care about assigned seats.

We really enjoyed our visit here in July '24. We came out to DC for a USA rugby match against Scotland. The stadium is huge and had food vendors, pop up stations to meet local DC rugby players, Pre-match food and drink set ups outside the stadium before the match. Once inside Scottish people were playing their authentic native music whilst wearing kilts. Fun! The only qualm is that we learned, last minute, just before heading there is they don't have specific stadium parking. So we opted to take a Lyft to and from the venue. That ended up working out alright in the end. Our drivers were very curious to talk Rugby with us. Also we had no parking fee or had to figure out parking in an unfamiliar area. Cool car displays throughout :-)

This place is impressive! It's relatively new so the amenities are nice. Even the bathrooms are clean! There's a nice assortment of food options - from the standard pizza and chicken nuggets/fries to even tacos! The field is huge but it still felt like most of the seats had a good view. However, if you're rooting for DC United, I recommend sitting behind the visiting teams goal, since the supporters area is there and you'll find the most high energy fans and even a band there. It's just a stone's throw away from Nationals Ballpark but I noticed that the neighborhood changes quickly, so if you're walking a fair distance, I recommend walking in a group.

while it is nice stadium, however traffic lights and parking near buy is overpriced. please be careful when you parked in alleys in between, I have done so, paid in cash, however, came back to see parking ticket, so my parking cost is $30+$240.....on top of cheap$33 to see soccer and hear about PEACE United...while everyone harrassing easygoing Belarus people. after returning from that game my car was wrongfully towed again...harrassment of Belarus Jews is never ending ...(I still remember my Audi driving coworkers, as I done good job they gotten promoted, as we stood side by side in tall buildings of Baltimore in horror days of 9/11.)

We came on a Friday night to watch the Washington Spirit. This was my first time and we arrived early so there wasn't much traffic to contend with. Since I'm not a fan of crowds, I appreciated that the stadium is not overly large. It is also clean and intimate. Every seat had a great view. Just be prepared to scale rather steep stairs to get to higher seats. Food selection was not especially diverse but everything we had was perfectly good (cotton candy, chicken tenders, corn dog, pupusa). My favorite was the Latin hot dog at Arepa Zone and tequenos de queso. Definitely recommend!

Home opener for XFL and it was a lovely day! The standing room section energy in section 137 is where to be if you can stand for two hours. Although feeding the sane (empty solo cups) proved that drinking more to create a long solo cup snake is worth it. The energy in the stadium is fun, every seat in this 20K seating arena provides a view of the field. Will rate a four or five as I experience the food vendors...or at least remember them when sober and not feeding the snake.

Despite the occasional seating/ticketing technology mishap, I love coming here to support the Washington Spirit. Hack: Sometimes at the end of games, the food stands give out leftover hot dogs for free! Such nice service.

Nice and clean. Came for a soccer game. Took the steps.... TAKE THE ELEVATOR. Great vantage points and you can actually see planes take off and land from DCA if you're sitting on the right side; pretty cool. Staff was nice and we sat at the top, where it was shaded and caught a good breeze. They have a movie night which I loved last year. We'll be back.

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit here for a DC Defenders game. While I wasn't following the match too closely, the stadium itself made the experience enjoyable. I've sat in multiple locations in this stadium and have had a great view from each them. The food options are standard for stadiums as well as beverages.

Great time at Audi field. I went to a Defenders game for opening day, and it was fun experience. Decent size stadium and comfortable seating. Concession stands were plentiful, and the food was decent. The lines weren't too crazy and they moved fast. Plenty of beer options though out the stadium as well.

Since opening, the team has corrected some of the needless mistakes here. The bag policy is a little bit looser and you can at least bring a non-clear bag. However, you apparently can't even bring a clear water bottle (apparently you can if there's a heat advisory). The concessions options have diversified a bit. There has been significant development in the area surrounding the baseball stadium so it's a bit more realistic to get food elsewhere in the area. The Wharf has finished enough of its construction that it's now possible to walk from there. At it's heart, it's still a pretty cramped and bare-bones stadium. The upside is that there aren't a lot of bad seats. To be fair, it's comparable to some other MLS stadiums I've been to, but I still wish they'd build this in Anacostia for a variety of reasons. They didn't, so this is what we've got for soccer.

Parking is not ideal but it's a very clean stadium with good views all around. Very nice family friendly atmosphere and good selection of beer! Anywhere you park will be a third party parking lot. Expect to spend $50.

I'd never been to Audi Field - as I am not a Soccer fan. But with the advent of the DC Defenders in the XFL - I decided it would be fun to go see a game in person! So I went to see the DC Defenders play the Houston Roughnecks. I ended up buying a ticket in the Club level - which entitles one to enter through a specific security entrance for the Club level. After going through the metal detector and scanning my digital ticket on my iPhone, I went up an elevator for the Club level - had my digital ticket scanned one more time upon arrival - and went and found my seat. After finding my seat, I quickly went back to the Eaglebank Club and got some food and cold beer. The club has a bunch of buffet stations - with thing like hot dogs with a variety of toppings, brisket and mashed potatoes - salads, chips, pretzels, and a variety of other snacks and cookies. I got a hot dog topped with queso cheese, mustard, and chopped onions - and a cold pint of an IPA from a local craft brewery. Watching the game was an absolute blast - I really enjoyed it - and the Defenders won the game! The restrooms were also very close to where I was sitting - so no long treks for restroom breaks. From my vantage point, I had a pretty good views of Sections 136 and 137 - which is where the beer snake is allowed to be and grow. And the beer snake did make it to the top of the section before the game was over! The only criticism of Audi Field is getting there - there is no parking facility for the venue. I ended up driving down to Union Station, parking there - and then taking an Uber ride over to Audi Field. On the way out - I had to walk a few blocks to find a place where I could catch an Uber ride back to Union Station - allegedly - they are not allowed to pull right up to the stadium to pick people up (the police have much of the closest roads and intersections closed off during game time). So I walked over the Cambria Hotel - which is about 3 blocks from Audi Field - and got an Uber pick up there. #AudiField

I had such a lovely experience at Audi Field, rooting on the Washington spirit! The seats were very inexpensive so I wasn't expecting much. However, the seats had a great view. It seemed as though every seat in the stadium had an excellent view so you can't go wrong there. The lines for the food got very long during the halftime so it's best to try and plan accordingly. I got the chicken tenders and fries, which was super tasty. But the real star of the show was the lemonade. It was a very hot day and the fresh squeezed lemonade really hit the spot. I would definitely recommend going to Audi field to support the Washington spirit!

This is a newer and clean stadium with good views of the field from anywhere in the stadium. It's pretty much all open air so you'll probably get soaked if it rains and some of the seats/aisles can feel a little cramped. Concessions are okay and the shaved ice stand is a must try on a hot day. I also went to a club level game once and the food is pretty good including salads, brisket, hot dogs, chips, pretzels, and chicken. Everything was pretty orderly but there aren't quite enough tables for everyone to eat, especially if it's raining and folks can't sit outside. To my knowledge, there's no parking lot for the stadium so taking the metro or an Uber is your best bet. There's also garages in the area but parking can be tough if the Nats have a game going on at the same time. You won't walk away from this stadium thinking it's the most amazing you've ever seen and the crowds don't seem quite as into it as they were at RFK but it does the job.

I came here for the first time for broccoli city Festival and I was pleasantly surprised by how nice it was. The bathrooms were pretty clean. The facilities were well manicured. It was nice. The only major pitfall was that they did not have many food options let alone food options for people, dietary restrictions, and it seemed like they didn't allow any outside food vendors to come in, which prevented me from literally eating anything while I attended the two day festival. That was disappointing.

I grew up playing soccer (futbol) and DC United was the 1st team I ever followed since the rise of MLS. I was disappointed that RFK stadium would no longer be home to DC United. The experience and energy of the fans at RFK was just like in England. However, I was thrilled when I learned the new stadium (Audi Field) was within walking distance of my neighborhood! Audi field is smaller than RFK but's it's modern, accessible and much nicer for a soccer match. Unlike at RFK there's a designated section for the booster club (cheering, large flags, drums). This section is entirely standing and you need to be dedicated to boosting the team the whole time. The way the stadiums is designed the really isn't a bad seat. I haven't sat up towards the top but I have sat in the middle section and even front row of the general section. I've also had field seats twice. It's great to be close to all the action and the field seats come with access to the Heineken lounge. Not sure why they don't come with access to Eagle Club since they are just as expensive if not more. With field seats and eagle club there's a separate entrance near the from called premium seating. The food selection in Heineken lounge is okay, there's everything from apple kale salad to nachos to carvings of a roast and hotdogs. Also a gelato cart and beer, hard seltzer and some other alcohol beverages. I deducted one star because they've done a poor job of organizing access to field seating before and after games. CSC event staff has no idea what's going on. I was trying to make my way to the seat and they had blocked of certain ramps and stairs. The CSC staff said he had no idea how to get to our seats which way to go. I then asked a police officer that was also positioned there and he kindly said he too had no idea but to come back if I couldn't get assistance. Finally I found an entrance at the other end and had to ask the usher for assistance. If you're on the section of field seats furthest away from Heineken lounge get ready for a long walk that forces you to leave the field seat section and walk through the crowds of people. If you're on the field seats that are closer to Heineken Lounge you have direct access to your seats and the lounge. They are not very helpful or organized, which is strange when you pay such a premium for field seats.

Audi Field is one of the cleanest and more modern sports field I have been to. A friend had an extra ticket for seating in a suite, and I could not say no. Those with seating in a suite, can use the premium entrance. This takes you to the elevator that goes up to the suites and premium seating. Suites have seating, high top tables, televisions with the game playing and outside balcony seating with a great view of the pitch. The suite is stocked with drinks and food, consisting of salads, hamburgers and hotdogs. It being a cold and rainy evening my friend and I spent the majority of the time inside the suite watching the game. Great suite experience and I definitely think this would be a great way to watch a game with a group of friends.

I had a great time at Audi watching the Washington Spirit despite the rain delay and the heat. The event staff was super helpful keeping everyone up to date on what was going on with the weather and making sure everyone stayed safe. The seats were affordable and I had a great view of the field despite being high up. The stadium offers a great variety of food and drinks. Because of the heat advisory fans could bring in a sealed bottle of water and were allowed to use their machines to refill them. In addition the team owner bought everyone a bottle of water for their patience during the storm. Despite that I tried the lemonade and it is definitely a must have.

How fun of a place! Passing the baseball field and entering down the main road, all the bright lights really have a wow moment. It really gets you a little hyped up! The main entrance is gate A, so we walked to the left o access gate B. I saw they had digital maps with a layout on poles but a lot of them were damaged in which you'd barely be able to see anything. Security was super quick and it seems their main rule is no backpacks though I will say I saw lockers between the gates you might be able to put your stuff in if denied instead of heading all the way back home. Many concessions upon entering, but do take a walk around to see what all they have to offer. Jalapeño fries were delicious!! Be wise and get goodies ahead of halftime. Then steps? KILLER. Not sure how often they have games but man oh man did those seats have 1.5 million spider webs on them. Definitely were fighting webs and spiders for the first few minutes there. We did Uber here but it seemed to be steer parking in the nearby neighborhoods. Overall good experience as I've never been to a soccer game before.

Cool stadium and experience. Steep climb if you sit near top. Lines for concessions and bathrooms reasonable. **Traffic after game worse than a football game with 4x the number of people. Too many cars on narrow streets, inadequate policing of traffic. Lots of new buildings being built, sure hope they figure out infrastructure.

I really hate to do less than satisfactory reviews but I've visited Audi Field a couple of times, mostly for college football games and homecoming events. I give this stadium a strong 3 because it's clean and new and it seems that every seat is a good seat. Otherwise, it's always a hot mess! The times I've been, there are no ushers around to help you to your seat. This makes people think they can sit in your seat, even when doing them the courtesy of showing them your ticket. My last visit was a whoooollleeee fiasco due to this! Absolutely ridiculous and I want them to do better.

I saw a soccer game here with my daughter. The field was very well-maintained, the food was good and the line moved quickly. The game itself was fun to watch, although there was a 30 minute rain delay. When I go out, I walk with a cane because of knee problems. I was walking with some stress of an incline and a man named Trevor, who worked there, came running over with a wheelchair and not only took me for a ride, but also put me in a special handicap seating area. He went out of his way to be nice to me, as did the ushers in that section. My highest recommendation!

A friend of mine had an extra seat to the DC United game and invited me to come along, so I did. I've never been to Audi Field before, or a pro-soccer game for that matter, so this was something new to me! Audi Stadium replaced RFK Stadium as the home of the DC United and was built in 2018. I did some exploring around the stadium during the game and it's definitely on the smaller side-as can be seen by the fact it only seats about 20,000 people. Compared to other stadiums that I've been to there really isn't much around this park other than the game. No statue, mural or interesting tidbit. However, from everywhere you are sitting in the stands, you definitely have a good view. Food-wise, Audi Field was all over the place. I got a soft pretzel, which was easily the worst one I've ever had. It was as a hard as a rock and literally inedible. You would break a tooth trying to chew it and I regret not sending it back. However, the buttermilk tenders and fries were both excellent. Altogether, Audi Field has really great views of the action on the field. While it's not at the level of an NFL or MLB stadium, it's still not a bad place to watch the DC United.

Came here for the XFL Defenders game. The stadium is great and the fans are awesome. 10/10 would recommend!

Love the Spirit and they never disappoint. Don't love the venue tho. It's too big, too pricey and not a great soccer atmosphere. Has all the personality of a big box store.

I only went there to look at the new mural art, but I really liked it and I hope they will put more mural art on the other side of the structure as well! As for the stadium itself, it looks very nice.

DEBIT CARDS aren't allowed. They take credit only. Wish I would have known that before getting into the line to buy something because I looked like a fool getting my card declined even though I had enough money to buy my family something :/ on my "debit card ". I understand cash, but debit come on lol

Love this place. Excellent new stadium with good access to food and beverage. Parking near the stadium is definitely challenging so look at public transport as an option. Great seating angels ensure a good view of the action and being close to the game. One of my current favorite stadiums to watch a match.

Not to be confused with J-Woww-D-Field, because J-Woww did play the field and had a D or two, and a girl that looks like that should get all the D in the world if she wants it. But DC United. They haven't been nearly as successful in recent years as they were in the early years though. They've been needing a soccer-specific stadium for a long time, but they always seemed to end up playing back in RFK. Now though, they have Audi Field. Now that DC United has its own soccer specific Stadium south of Washington DC I'm absolutely thrilled for them and they've been waiting for this for a long time and it's absolutely amazing. But I can't say that it's one of the best in the league? Top 10 definitely. I'm not sure about top five, but it definitely gets the job done and all it really needs is for the team to return to some semblance of their former dominant glory in order for the stadium to start really picking up the way RFK Stadium used to at times when the team was really good. Unfortunately I have to take a star off because it has an extremely frugal outlook in terms of overcharging massively for everything, and having pretty uncomfortable seats, and I mean they don't even let you bring any kind of a bag in here, and instead force you to pay $15 for a locker - which is how much the ticket for the game should be.

Great atmosphere, fun good entertainment before and after games Clean, staff is helpful and nice

Great stadium! Wonderful food and drink choices, clean bathrooms and fun fans! It was our first time there to see DC United. Easy to Uber in and out. I cannot think of a negative.

Wow I can't believe how bad the reviews are of this place I also can't believe how many people don't read. I went to a game with my significant other who enjoys soccer and was excited to introduce me to it. Since I didn't get the tickets I spent all of 5 mins looking at the website when I saw the bag policy. I'm glad I did because by the looks of these reviews most people didn't. We found pretty inexpensive parking on parking panda and walked over. Getting into the game wasn't much of a hassle, there was some confusion with the online ticket but the ticket agent was able to text them and we were on our way. The line took practically no time and we were in. I didn't partake in concessions but I saw a lot of variety and everything looked great. I did grab a drink at the bar and yes they are overpriced but I expected that. I tried the cherry blossom themed drink and let's just say once is enough for me. I do appreciate how clean the bathrooms are but found it weird that there are no mirrors over the sinks. Seats were great! I did hate how steep the stairs were, but I understand it's built that way so that the higher seats have good sight lines. The supporter section seems cool but a bit overwhelming for me as a casual fan. Overall I think it's a pretty great stadium and am looking forward to another game there and seeing sight lines from other seats.

Audi Field is DC's newest stadium replacing RFK Stadium as the home of DC United (DC's soccer team). In addition, it's meant to be home to other events like concerts. Unlike the giant RFK Stadium, this one seats 20,000 giving it a more impressive feel to it with the stadium packed for games. It's located in SW DC right next to Fort McNair and a few blocks from the Waterfront or Navy Yard Metros (well, budget 12-15 minutes to walk from either Metro). It feels a bit random, but hopefully the area is built up and more accessible. Currently, there are no Capital Bikeshare docks so walking/driving are the only options. The Field itself has retail, lounges, and some good restaurants by beloved DC chef Jose Andres. Audi Field is likely to become one of DC's most popular spots since it's the newest kid on the block.

My first ever professional soccer (football, hahaha) game ever at a brand spanking new stadium. I can now say that I have been to every Washington, DC professional sport venue and this by far is the BEST!!! I ordered tickets on line and the week before the game, DC United Marketing team called me knowing this was my first game ever to welcome me to the new stadium and ask me if I had any questions! The entrances on the NW, NE corner of the stadium move quickly as long as people listen and have all of there items out of their pockets before going through the magnetometer (keys, phones, wallets, glasses). They have a clear bag policy, so ladies buy a clear backpack or purse or you will be subject to paying $15 to leave your purse in one of the lockers outside the stadium. It seemed like the entry to the stadium is paperless because everybody had their tickets on their phone and you just scan the barcode. There are plenty of eateries inside the stadium that are mostly Latin based and the food looked good, but I had already eaten and the prices were Disney-high!!! There is not a bad seat in the house, I was in section 118, Row 10, just above where the players exit the locker room onto the field and directly across from the "Screaming Eagle' section...if you have ever watched soccer on tv and see the whole stadium rocking and jumping and singing from beginning to end, that is the Screaming Eagle section with drums and all. I can't wait to go back for another game!!!

Great new stadium, if you know the history and challenges of DC United getting a stadium in the District, than this is a huge moment and it's great to see it finally here, with DU United having their own stadium. The stadium has some great features, the architecture, the quality of food options (lots of American and Hispanic), makes sense when you consider fan base. Many of the options are food trucks you see in the District which is a great idea, not just your typical concession stand. Buy the Souvenir cup and you get free refills all game for $9 and then you can bring the cup back and continue to get refills all season (love that idea). Our seats where behind the goal, $25, but you could see everything and were able to really see the play develop, there is not a bad seat in the stadium, it is very close together and intimate, it creates great noise and has an amazing view of DC if you are sitting in the south stands. Also liked the South Stand because you can see the main video board really well. This is also the side the players come and go from so it's a good opportunity for picture opps and autographs before and after the game. The stadium was a packed and so for sure the concourse was tight, probably could have been a little wider, I am sure the vendors will figure out how to line up their queues to make the crowd not overflow into where everyone is walking, it's new, they'll figure out the kinks and it'll be find, this is no reason to not go to a game. Only other feedback I have is have kids items at the concession stand (check the Baltimore Orioles kids options), they know how to do family friendly, and I'm sure you could learn from them DC United, but I'll still come. Seriously though a kids menu or just a few items at family friendly prices would be terrific. So thankful the stadium is here now, it's the bomb, I can't give it "As Good as it gets", because it doesn't have the history yet and I've been to many European stadiums, but within MLS, it's "As Good as it Gets, well done DC United.

I attended a DC Defenders game and am happy to say I was allowed to bring in an empty water bottle to fill at a water fountain. Yay! I also learned that there is an entire side where the seats go so high that you are possibly in another altitude. Beware, if your seats are on either end zone in row 20 or higher, you better be in good shape!

I've been to Audi field a few times for DC United games, a UMD vs. UVA game, and for a Walk With Locals event, so I've spent my fair share of time walking around the stadium. Game Experience: I've always had positive experiences at the games (even if my team doesn't win). The event staff generally move people through the gates pretty quickly. I've never been stuck in a long, slow line. The inside of the stadium has a couple of areas that are tricky to navigate because of how the good vendors are set up and the lines blocking through traffic, and that's honestly my biggest complaint. Pretty good view from most places in the stadium (though sitting next to the fan section at a DC United game is a unique experience that I whole heartedly recommend). Food: I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I had tacos at a soccer stadium, and I didn't hate them. They do have the typical stadium fair, but also pupusas and tacos. Haven't tried a ton of the food (the stadium is super close up Navy Yard so we often just walk over to one of the restaurants there), but what I have had has been good. Not mind blowing, but do you go to sports stadiums for mind blowing food? Views of the field and the stadium are great. Good place to catch a game.

Another shining star arena graces the waterfront of DC and catapults our DC United team into international standards of stadiums. Continuing the trend of having high quality, diverse and unique food stall options, Audi is a 21st century stadium as beer hawkers also take credit cards, and some shops (Arepas and yuca fry establishments) going completely cashless. With plenty of options for price, a day-of ticket can range from $30-$300 with Stubhub being a great option as always and the guys selling $10 hats on the streets being the best option for last minute swag. The gift shop is large and well organized with tons of styles of jerseys and shirts on-sale. The stadium has a minimalist lay-out, very industrial with even the highest rafters having great views of the grass, so don't feel bad sitting in the nose bleeds. There's an open seating area that fills up quickly, and the fans section also fills up quickly with die-hard Screaming Eagles. They are happy to teach you the chants and their energy is infectious and heard across the stadium (I recommend sitting in the fan section for children of all ages, but you might here some foul mouths, and get some beer splashed on you during scores, so be warned). With blistering DC summers, you might want to favor sitting on the Western side, which becomes the most shaded by the start of later afternoon games. Get here 1 hour before the game, fill up on great food and beers and get ready to cheer for United (or your home team if you are "that person")! DC has a stadium we can be proud of!!

Everything @ Audi stadium maximizes the profit margin including: tiny chair seats, steep path to the seats, not enough restrooms, not enough egress stairwells. You wonder if the stadium architect ever heard of the Roman Coliseum which could seat three times more people and get them in and out three time faster. There is a plenty opportunity/space to buy $13 beer or $5 water.

I think Audi started off poorly because the bag situation really threw people off. But they've since modified their bag policy and I think there's less people paying for lockers and throwing away their backpacks and stuff...yikes. Anyway. This stadium is great. I'd only been to RFK a handful of times and concessions were cheaper... but honestly the upgrade is good. It's good for D.C. United and it's good to have a shiny new seat and a slightly smaller arena so you can be cozy with the crowd. My complaints are same as others - parking is difficult and it is still kind of far from the metro. But also I want to complain about the fact that you can't really hear the local fan chants of Barra Brava / Screamin Eagles if you're sitting on the far side of them... and it really sucks when the visiting team has a decent showing and they're loud (cough NY). Vamos United!

The field itself is very nice. However, parking is horrible (luckily DC United doesn't sell out) and the food is awful...just terrible. Our pretzel was stale (maybe several weeks old?) and our fries were crazy soggy. Beer is about $13 for a can, water $5 for a bottle. They do not accept cash at most concessions. We'd come back if we got free tickets, but we likely won't pay for another game.

I don't really know how to approach this review. I came here for the Audi employee appreciation day event. Audi provided us with free parking, free shuttle to the field, food, face painting, $20 concession stand credit, and merch. I thought they did a great job with the atmosphere and all the amenities. Only gripe was the food they provided for the event was all cold and lacked flavor. Everyone that came with me agreed that the hog dog and the brownies were the star of the show... and that's a little sad. Now for the stadium itself: The process of getting through security was quick and easy, no lines for concession, and clean bathrooms. It was a beautiful stadium , but the food options here pretty limited.

The Audi field is chic and very intimate. You can clearly see across different parts of the field depending on where you're sitting! I have a few tickets in the Eaglebank section so the seats get a great view of the field and all the behind the scenes action going on. The food served in the Eaglebank is a unlimited buffet and beer and wine. The food is great for it being free food, but honestly Idk if I would pay for it. There's usually a standard hot dog and chips and then a fancier meal with veggies. The waitstaff are super attentive and helpful. The bartenders are quick although seemed to be very unenthusiastic, but I still got served, so I guess that's what matters. Definitely go to a game at the Audi Field if you get a chance next season!

I've now been to Audi Field twice in the two months since it opened. Both times have been amazing experiences. Design look and feel: Amazing. Enough said. Entrance: Lines are a tad sluggish but nothing that really bothers. I enjoy that they always give a program booklet. Seating: The climb to some seats (101-111 areas above the C seats) can be a bit much for some older folks that I've seen stop to take breaks at staircase landings. Having said that, the distance from hallway to seat is very short because the venue is small. That's very convenient for food/bathroom access. Every seat along the long axis is a good seat with great views. Food and drink: Being a smaller venue, there are fewer food options than at Nats Park, but the things I have tried have been well-executed. In fact, the pupusas are better than at many outside places that specialize in them. The Coca Cola machines that allow for fast unlimited refills are a notable plus over other stadiums. The lines at the bar (for greater beer selection, drinks and wine) are reasonable (prices aren't but that's par for the course in DC). Prices: I think one thing is certain. The DC United underestimated its fan base. Audi Field is way too small. Seat prices are therefore way too high in areas where they shouldn't be during games that aren't particularly special. They needed 25-50% (5K-10K seats) more capacity. I can't really deduct a star for this because once you get there the experience is good. I also wish season-ticket pricing was more transparent. Shop: Again overpriced just like at every other sports venue. But, the personalizing station is great and they have a good selection of items. (I hate wearing black but team colors are team colors.) Display: The stadium display is amazing, but I do have some suggestions. Please, please, run the extra time counter on the field display like they do on TV. Also, please run goal instant replays twice. Finally, when a red/yellow card is issued, it would help if it was explained on the display along with a replay because sometimes the announcer can't be understood over the fans. Final thoughts: So, in general this reads like a 4 star review, but I'm marking it 5 to offset some of the out-of-towners complaining about lack of parking or "sketchy neighborhood." Gimme a break! DC doesn't need more parking down there. That's what the metro, taxis and lyft/uber are for. And sketchy?! If you think the walk from the Navy Yard metro to the stadium is sketchy you've lived a very sheltered life. This is a city, not a planned gated community or a suburban mall. And finally about the clear bag policy which is the cause of most 1-star reviews, I have attached three pictures showing how they have highlighted that policy from day one. People claiming they weren't told are just plain lying.

The worst soccer stadium I've ever been too. Staff are horrible and rude. If you're trying to find your seat and follow the information board, you will go around the entire field. You will be asked to show your ticket multiple times although you have scanned your ticket prior to entering the stadium. Think about passing from the shop to bathroom, I got asked multiple times for tickets. It's ridiculous! If the staff has to ask me multiple time to show ticket on the ground (not even near the seating section), you guys must reevaluate your security check point. It's ridiculous! That's on of the reason why I do not renew season ticket. Horrible! Food and beverage? Absolutely horrible! Other than that, the team needs quality players. The DC United experience is already horrible. Imagine coming to the game to support the exact opposite team because they're horrible. But hey.. that's not my place to say. The coach got fired saying that. So....

Preium seats experience is now over-run by people who are there to drink as much beer as possible in 75 mins - last call is in the 75th minute which they tell you now when you walk in the door. Food is not good in Eagle Bank. With each game it gets worse. Current management has ruined what used to be a lovely experience. It perfectly matches the team's current performance.
