WASHINGTON - Metro is gearing up for March madness.

The subway will stay open until 1 a.m. Friday, March 21 to handle the crowds going to the 7:10 p.m. NCAA game at Verizon Center on Thursday, March 20.

Metro plans to have additional trains running at the Gallery Place/Chinatown station after the first, third and fourth games on March 20.

Extra trains will be in place on Saturday, March 22 after both games beginning at 2:10 p.m.

To avoid the crowds, Metro suggests using the other Gallery Place/Chinatown station entrances at 9th and G Streets, NW, or 7th and H Streets, NW. Or you could use the Judiciary Square station.
