need some advice on gameday plans

[BDBohnzie]

If you can, I would suggest staying downtown. That way, you can take Metro or walk everywhere, and not have to worry about a rental car. Traffic in this area is HELL. Avoid it at all costs. Fly into National, and either grab a taxi, the hotel's courtesy shuttle, or the Metro.

The city is incredible, and there is so much to do. So, I'd pick 1 or 2 big things you'd want to see, and then play the rest by ear. I know there are plenty of people to give you advice on where to eat, which bars to hit up, etc.

Game Day - hook up with other board members and just relax...get inside as early as you can, walk around, get your pictures in, etc. Enjoy the game, then tailgate all over afterwards.
