Washington Wizards History
Founded in 1961, the Washington Wizards franchise has called Chicago, Baltimore, Landover, Maryland. and Washington, D.C. home. Known earlier as the Packers, Zephyrs and Bullets, the franchise changed its name to the Wizards in 1997.
After earning two playoff appearances in their first five seasons in Baltimore, the team started a formidable run of postseason success starting in the 1968–69 season. Led by Hall of Famers Earl Monroe and Wes Unseld (and later Elvin Hayes), the Bullets went to the playoffs 12 seasons in a row, including four trips to the Finals and a championship in 1978. Behind an MVP performance from Unseld, Washington defeated Seattle in a decisive Game 7 to clinch the title.
Five consecutive postseason appearances highlighted the Bullets’ 80s. The franchise bounced back in the early 2000s, built around the core of Gilbert Arenas, Antawn Jamison and Caron Butler. That trio led Washington to four straight playoff appearances from 2005–2008. Since then, the Wizards have qualified for the postseason five times behind All-Stars John Wall and Bradley Beal, the latter of which became one of six players in NBA history to average 30-plus points per game in back-to-back seasons.

The bag policy is horrible. It was cold. We stood in line. We went through a metal detector. My bag was searched....all of this just to get to a point where I was told my SMALL SQUARE BAG was too big. I had to go back outside in the cold to rent a locker. NOT HAPPY.
I loved attending this concert series, the sound could have been better and if parking garage closing matched the time the game/concert ending that would have been a perfect night.
This was one of my best experiences going to a game.
The venue and game were great. Good could have been a bit better. Seats were way too close together. No leg room or room at all.
I’m 5’7, 150lbs and was super uncomfortable in the seat. I felt like I was a taco shell and the person in the row in front of me was almost squished against my legs.
Over the game and experience was good however, there was no communication that you could only take small wristlets in and no other bags even clear ones. Luckily we had on jackets and was able to stuff our personal items in there. They made us purchase lockers. It was cool because it wasn’t that expensive however, it’s the fact of not knowing till you get there & being unprepared.
The process for securing my tickets and parking pass was great. The stadium experience was great, but the parking was horrible. I paid in advance to park in a garage and followed the directions via the app to the "T"on getting to the location. However, I was unable to access the garage I pre-paid for. The street closure around the stadium made it impossible for me to get to the garage, so I gave up trying and paid additional money to pay in a different garage within two blocks of the stadium. Other than that, using my Ticketmaster app to gain entrance into the stadium was easy.
It's really tough to watch the Wiz this year. It got really bad at the end of last season, too. One can only hope that they don't expect all the talk and speculation about a new stadium will distract us from the fact the team is not worthy entertainment for a few MORE years!!
Enjoyed a great basketball game, ate lots of great food, and after the game I attended the concert! This made a Friday night experience fantastic!!!
It was a nice game, even though the wizards lost. I didn’t know about the 50th anniversary of hip hop concert afterwards. Very nice surprise.
The staff in every aspect from the some we entered the arena through out the wizard’s game and ending the evening with an outstanding concert celebrating the 50th Anniversary of hip hop
It was exciting to see the game, my first NBA game. The experience was great; the one thing I will say is NBA fans don’t wait for stoppages in play to return to their seats around like….middle of a fast break, doesn’t matter, the entire row will stand up and let a bunch of people in and out…this happened about 10 times in the three rows in front of me. I’d recommend sitting in Row A of the section you’re in so you don’t miss any of the action…
The game was fun but the concert was awesome!! I had a great time!! Enjoyed all of the old school rap groups. Having a concert after the game is a fantastic idea.
FIRST OFF WE BEAT THE WIZARDS!! GO SPURS GO!!! Saw Pops, my Boys and Tall Slime (what i calls him) 🔥💨Game was Fire‼️
One of the better arenas I’ve been. The speed of entering and exiting was great. Great sight views.
The event was amazing and the entering/exiting smooth but you should really underline that the place or event had a strict no bag inside policy that forced me and many others in renting a box for the event for 15 bucks. Felt like a little robbery.
Good : The seating , the crowd Bad: Got stuck with one extra ticket, food, the team is very bad Overalll: I definitely attend again.
Great Experience for my first time in Capital One Arena Never got boring Only miss the change to see Wizards Win
Loved watching the game with my friend. It was fun
