Parking situation: difficult

I love playing on the mall.  The fields suck but the atmosphere is great.  Unfortunately, though, parking is a bit of an issue.  There's always a lot of people down there on weekends.  The later the game, the harder it is to find parking.  I've heard there is a Washington Post event on the mall plus some graduations.  Parking will be tight.  Parking in the government district (18th, 19th, 20th, 21st and Virginia) might work.  You could also try the Jefferson memorial.  If you drive down, make sure to leave really early.  It could take 30 minutes or more to park and walk in.

Better to take metro and walk in from Smithsonian or Farragut West.  

Leave early folks.
