Metro to stay open late for U2 fans

Metro plans to keep its trains running late so U2 fans can take Metrorail home after Tuesday’s concert at FedEx Field.

Only the Morgan Boulevard station on the Blue Line, about one mile from the stadium, will let riders enter until 1 a.m. All other stations will be closed to riders entering the stations at the normal closing time of midnight, according to Metro. But the trains will keep running late to get riders home.

The Redskins are paying $27,000 to keep the station open and run the extra train service for the U2 360 Tour, said Metro spokeswoman Taryn McNeil.
