Morgan Boulevard (Washington Metro) - Definition and Overview

Morgan Boulevard (Summerfeild) is a Washington Metro station in Prince George's County, Maryland on the Blue Line; it began service on December 18, 2004. The station is less than a mile from FedEx Field, the stadium of the Washington Redskins.

The Morgan Boulevard Station (also known to WMATA officials as Summerfeild, the former name of the station) gained approval from Congress in 1999. Construction began in 2001, and the total cost of building this and her sister station Largo Town Center was over $450 million.

The platform at this station is wider than others because of the estimated large volumes of passengers serving it before and after football games. For commuters, there is a daycare at the station.

The station (and the street that the station is named after) was changed from Summerfeild Boulevard to Morgan Boulevard to give respect to Garrett Morgan, the person who invented the stop-go traffic light.

This is the only station not served by MetroBus. The Prince George's County bus system called simply The Bus serves this station.
