Did you plan to use Metro to get to the highly-anticipated concert? If so, you might want to rethink that.
GREATER LANDOVER, Md. — It is finally time! Beyoncé's Renaissance tour is landing in the DMV this weekend, but many concertgoers are debating the best way to arrive at the venue.
Don't get heated Beyhive, but Metro is ringing the alarm on commuters hoping to hop on a train to head to the FedEx Field. In a tweet posted Wednesday afternoon, they noted that the stadium is up to a 30-minute walk from the Morgan Boulevard Station.
And, not to break your soul further, they also said that on Saturday the last Silver Line train headed to Ashburn will depart the station at 12:34 a.m. and the Blue Line to Franconia-Springfield will head out at 12:27 a.m.
On Sunday the timing is even earlier. The last Silver Line train to Ashburn will leave at 11:34 p.m. and the Blue Line will depart at 11:27 p.m.
Beyoncé fans, ‘Crazy in Love’ with Metro, take note if you’re heading to @FedExField. The stadium is up to a 30-minute walk from Morgan Blvd Station.

The concert start time on both days are set for 8 p.m., though originally slated for 7 p.m., with an estimated length of two and a half hours long.
This might have you thinking, America Has A Problem, but you are not alone. Many people on X, formally known as Twitter, are expressing their disappointment in this move by the transportation service - or lack there of.
One comment underneath the post stated that they would rather pay Metro $25 roundtrip for their services just to avoid the Uber surcharges that come after a packed concert. Another account said, "This is why RFK needs to be redeveloped into the new home of the Commanders."
To end their post, Metro said, "We’ll be keeping an eye on the #BeyHive to try and get customers to their final destination, but know we have no control over weather/start & end time of events, and we certainly can’t stop a ‘Virgo’s Groove’."
