Larry CopelandMarch 16, 2015Great service will out of your way to get what you need. Food and drinks are a little high on price but if you get the ring side pass gets food and drinks goes are with the tickets.

If you're going to get food, just go big. Get the Nachos from Hard Times on the first floor. Or the wings from the Greene Turtle. Yes, they're all expensive. You should've stopped at McDonald's.Upvoted 1 week ago
Something's usually going on around here. Lots of activities, food options and close to the bike share and Metro.Upvoted Sep 20
The seats are a bit cramped in the upper bowl. Try to get closer if you can.
Gabriel HayesSeptember 16, 2015Went to the last (hopefully just for now) Syracuse - Georgetown basketball game here. Even though the Orange got crushed, I had a great time hear. Definitely would want to go back for more Hoyas games
Amanda KinseyJanuary 31, 2019Great arena! Had seats in the 400 level. Of course I made the typical “nose bleeds” joke but you honestly still have a great view! Can’t imagine there’s a bad view in the house!
The best seats are anywhere in the 100's. Anything above is really difficult to see. This is my favorite arena!
Optimus PrimeApril 17, 2013Watching a Caps game live is so worth doing if you get the chance. Best live sport, period. Don't pass it up. GO CAPS!
CitrusTV SportsMarch 31, 2013On March 28 and 30, 2013, the Syracuse Orange knocked off Indiana and Marquette to advance to the Final Four in Atlanta. It was the Orange's first Final Four since SU's National Title in 2003.
The Top 5 on this list includes only two artists: Bruce Springsteen and U2, with U2 nabbing three of the top five spots between their 2001 and 2005 tours.
Delicious shrimp po boy and fries. Be sure to bring a sweatshirt it gets chilly with all that ice. Go Caps!
Don’t be a sucker and get regular chicken fingers. The chicken fingers at Fuku on the 100 level are way better.
Klinger AssocApril 16, 2014A great way to hire some of our heroes. Thanks to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation for setting up such a wonderful event to help both businesses and our heroes. Read more
Great place to catch a Caps game! Food's expensive, but at least it's decently tasty. Even the worst seats have a good view!
The new seats, TVs, food and drink stations are all amazing! So easy to get a drink refill now. Great venue for sports or music!!
Theo BellAugust 3, 2013Don't bring any cameras with professional lens/detachable lens or audio recording devices. Also no signs exceeding 8.5x11 inches.- Washington WizardsDecember 9, 2011Did you know ... Backstage at Verizon Center are 10 dressing rooms, including the Wizards, Capitals, Mystics and Hoyas team locker rooms and NBA and NHL visitor’s and officials locker rooms.
Jason H.May 10, 2015Go to the 2nd level - club level - to get food from concessions. MUCH better food there. Fans are intense all wearing Jerseys but respectful to those rooting for the other team.
Shawn CookMarch 23, 2014Seats in the club section 200's are much more comfortable. Great views as well.
RussellDecember 12, 2018If you sit on the left you get a much better view than on the right and the bathroom near section 24 has magic
David B.August 15, 2014For stadium/arena food, the bbq chicken nachos on the main concourse at the Nacho/Papa John's stand are really good.
Adam EpsteinMarch 29, 2013Solid arena - nice sight lines and seat space. Only arena I've ever experienced with bottomless popcorn (be careful)
Home of the Capitals, Wizards, Mystics and Hoyas. Fairly new arena, seats are good everywhere you go, but sadly getting pricy (especially Caps), but you will have a good time !!!
- The 4sq Travel Club gets the best seats and we fly first class! We are Flyers! Flying the Funjet!
Merlina RoJanuary 16, 2017We went to watch a hockey game Caps vs Chicago Blackhawks. We had a nice view of the ice, but the seats were not comfortable.
The White HouseJuly 20, 2012In the lead up to the 2012 London Olympics, President Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Joe Biden attend the U.S. Men's Olympic basketball team's game against Brazil. Read more
Jade HMarch 7, 2020Very nice! Too bad the Lady Hoyas aren’t supported enough to play here. We support ALL the 🏀
If the visiting team has a higher score than the home team, don't act surprised.
If you can, eat outside the arena. There are numerous restaurants, most better priced than the concessions.
Don't lean because the people behind you can't see! If you're warned and don't lean back, expect an usher to visit your seat!
Deneice FujiiMarch 10, 2013Of course they don't let guests down while the puck is in play. It's called hockey etiquette. Most arenas don't allow it!
HISTORYMarch 31, 2010This center is home to the Georgetown Hoyas, Washington Wizards & Washington Capitals. In 2003 Michael Jordan scored 43 points & became the 1st player over 40 to score more than 40 points in a game.
Wouter BlokApril 11, 2017Get floor seats through StubHub for NBA Wizards or NHL Capitals. I sat next to Pat Riley at a heat game. Awesome.- The highest attended individual event in building history is held by one of three Bruce Springsteen shows during his 1999 tour.
Avoid driving in DC as much as possible & riding the Metro instead as much as you can!!
Drink beer towers at the sushi place next to the movie theater before you go in
Come watch the amazing Washington Wizards (NBA), Washingtin Capitals (NHL), Washington Mystics (WNBA) and Georgetown Hoyas (NCAA Basketball) in a wonderful venue.
In 2006, George Mason knocked off UConn in this building, becoming only the second EVER double-digit seed to reach the Final Four.- In February 2001, Michael Jordan became the only player over 40 years old to score over 40 points in a game. Air Jordan doing his thing, per usual.
Alan Ruesga-PelayoFebruary 14, 2012After the game stop by Redline (across Verizon 7th & G St) and get discounted drinks and food + great sport atmosphere!

"Cool little dive that's mostly hidden next to the Ruby Tuesday in Chinatown. Cheap alcohol, great atmosphere, tons of games. Get there early and grab a booth in the back."
