Georgetown Hoyas at Verizon Center
Don't miss your chance to catch Georgetown Men's Basketball at Verizon Center this season! The Hoyas are led by Coach Patrick Ewing, who returns to Georgetown University after serving for 15 years as an assistant head coach in the NBA. Georgetown is a founding member of the BIG EAST Conference, which since its inception remains one of the best basketball leagues in the nation. In 2017-18, the Hoyas look to continue their long history of success with another great season, hoping to add to their nine conference regular season titles, seven conference tournament titles, 30 NCAA Tournament appearances, 11 NCAA Sweet Sixteens, nine NCAA Elite Eights, five NCAA Final Fours and 1984 NCAA National Championship.
Great game. We had seats that were pretty high up but we could see perfectly. Had a great time.
The game was awesome, mostly because I'm a WVU grad/fan and we won against Georgetown even though they were ranked fairly high and we weren't ranked at all. I like the Verizon Center too; it's easy to get to from the Chinatown metro stop.
Getting there to find out that it was airport-style security because the President was going to attend the Wizards game later that night when no such announcement was made ahead of time was very disheartening. Persons with innocent metal objects (Swiss Army Knife) that are still not allowed through the metal detectors had the choice of eating the cost of their metal objects or the price of their tickets. Its not an airport--you don't expect the metal detectors, and you haven't prepared in advance for them. If this sort of thing is going to be set up on a surprise basis, patrons should have the option of a full refund on their tickets if they wish to walk away and retain their belongings. They certainly have the right to set up the security, and I understand why the President's schedule is not announced in advance, but the combination of the two can end up forcing innocent patrons into being ripped off.
The Verizon Center was packed with Hoyas fans. The seats that I had were great and the fans were all screaming for the Hoyas to pull forward. Wright had an amazing game and of course, we came out on top!
