Tropical Storm Chantal?s remnants are expected to bring scattered showers and thunderstorms to the Washington, D.C., area on Monday -- but will they threaten the Beyonc? concert at D.C.?s Northwest Stadium?

WASHINGTON - Cowboy Carter is hitting the capital. Beyoncé takes center stage in Washington, D.C.; the next stop on her tour. With fans gearing up to pack the stands, here's what you need to know about getting to and from the show. 

What we know:

Driving & parking

Stadium parking opens at 3:30 p.m. Parking passes are required and can be purchased via the Commanders' website or ticketing platforms like SeatGeek. Currently, parking spots start at $87 including fees. 

Do not park in surrounding neighborhoods as you will be ticketed or towed. 

Plan to arrive early due to traffic near the parking lots. Tailgating prior to the concert is permitted in designated areas only, and it is suggested that tailgaters park in the Red Zone as the spaces are wider. 

Metro

The closest stations to the Northwest Stadium are Morgan Boulevard and Downtown Largo, putting concertgoers about a mile walk from the show. (Wear comfortable shoes!) The Morgan Boulevard Station offers a pedestrian walkway with direct access to the stadium.   

Thanks to recent service updates, Metrorail hours have been extended to 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. Trains will arrive every 5–12 minutes on most lines, with the Silver and Blue Line providing the most direct access to Northwest Stadium.
