About Capital One Arena
Capital One Arena is home to the NBA's Washington Wizards, the NHL's 2018 Stanley Cup Champion Washington Capitals, and the NCAA's Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team. Boasting an average of 220 events per year, Capital One Arena is the heart of an $9.2 billion redevelopment that began 22 years ago when the arena was built and opened on Dec. 2, 1997. Since then the privately financed arena has hosted 47 million people and more than 4,500 events.
