MSE Announces Major Renovations and Upgrades to Capital One Arena

Monumental Sports & Entertainment is announcing an array of state-of-the-art upgrades to the fan experience at Capital One Arena as part of our $40 million dollar renovation investment. This renovation will be entirely privately funded, and will ensure that the fan experience at Capital One Arena remains on the cutting edge.

"Capital One Arena is part of the heartbeat of Washington, DC," said Ted Leonsis, founder, Chairman, majority owner and CEO of Monumental Sports & Entertainment. "We are incredibly proud to be making this investment in a building that has played a key role in shaping our city, and that has been home to so many great memories for people across the DMV. These upgrades will ensure that the fan experience at Capital One Arena remains second to none."

The renovations will begin at the end of the 2017-18 NBA and NHL seasons and are expected to be completed by fall 2018.

Among the upgrades we're delivering for fans:

Capital One Arena is one of the few privately-owned arenas in the country, and throughout its ownership, Monumental Sports & Entertainment has made over $100 million in investments to ensure the arena -- ranked 9th in the nation and 22nd worldwide among top-grossing venues with a capacity of over 15,000 by Pollstar in 2017 -- remains a best-in-class facility.

Over the past two decades, Capital One Arena has been a tremendous driver of economic growth in the District of Columbia. It is directly responsible for the complete transformation of a huge portion of downtown DC thanks to job creation, infrastructure improvements and growth of the tax base as the arena helped attract new business to Chinatown.
