Wizards SCHEDULE
4-23 • 15th in EASTERN CONFERENCE
The Wizards play their home games in the Capital One Arena located in the Penn Quarter neighborhood in Washington D.C. They have called this stadium home since it opened in 1997.
The 20,000-capacity arena broke ground in October 1995 and it first opened its doors in December of 1997. The construction cost was estimated to be at $260 million. Before the naming rights were sold to Capital One, the stadium was previously called the MCI Center (1997 to 2006) and the Verizon Center (2006 to 2017). It is currently owned and operated by Monumental Sports & Entertainment.
Aside from the Wizards, the Capital One Arena is also home to the Washington Capitals of the NHL, the Georgetown University men's basketball team, and formerly the Washington Mystics of the WNBA (prior to moving to a different stadium in 2018).
