From Gaithersburg, it's approximately 24 miles south via I-270 — a route that sees heavy congestion during evening rush hours. Charter buses typically drop off on F Street NW or G Street NW near the arena; there is no dedicated on-site bus lot, so buses stage nearby or at Union Station Bus Terminal (approximately one mile away).
For sold-out playoff games and major events, book your bus well in advance and confirm your drop-off approach before game day.
