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 arena had its share of issues & foolish people. The game was great & the half-time show was very cool.
We had a great time at the game, especially since the Wizards won. The HBCU recognition and half time entertainment was awesome!!
The seats were great , it was nice to see Bradley Beal
Seats are not big enough for bigger plus size patrons. Was moved further away from the seats originally purchased behind the wizards bench to the stairs by the ushers who was incessantly talking ruining the game.
It was amazing, the seats were great, I wasn't too far and wasn't to close. Their food is also amazing I loved it. and I also loved the sound effects.
We Wiz Kids had amazing seats, watching our wonderful players entertain us. We received the email of all of the changes before entering the arena. So we were prepared, which made our evening out enjoyable. We will be in attendance again. Thanks!
The sound system was terrible. I could see them play, but could barely hear the commentators. Then the after party with Ja Rule and Rick Ross was worst. And the wizards lost.
Good game even better performance of jarule and Rick Ross
Great seats ..game was good. Concert after the game was lots of fun!
Simple and easy to use. I received my tickets right away. I really liked the e-mail telling us what to expect during the event. They informed us ahead of time that no bags over 5x7 will be allowed in the arena. If we didn’t get that information , my wife would have brought her big huge purse and have been a whole different situation. So thanks for the heads up Ticketmaster on that!!
Took my sons to their first wizards game, everyone enjoyed themselves. Good experience.
The game was great and there's special performance for celebrating Martin Luther King Jr.'s life. All are fabulous!
Family of 3 tix in section 422 row O (so far away) - $273 + $60 parking in garage + 1 nacho, 1 icee & 1 hot dog - $29...That's $362 for 2 adults and 1 child to go to see the Wizards...WAY OVERPRICED. The cost is so out of hand to be entertained! So unhappy about the price...Ridiculous! Last time I take my grandson to a sporting event. So sad!
My grandsons are NBA fans, Golden State and Steph Curry fans. My Christmas gift to them was to take them to the wizards Warriors game. I thought the tickets were pretty pricey for the upper level. However, all other experiences were great. All workers were friendly and helpful in the atmosphere was good.
The view from the seat was decent. It was high enough up that the corner video board was somewhat in the way though. The vendors and other staff members were great as always.
Great night at Capital One Arena watching the Wizards play the New York Knicks. Seats were in Section 117. Great seats, great interaction between Wizards and Knicks fans. Wizards just didn’t muster up enough points for the win. Enjoyed the Friday night concert series featuring the music genre of Washington, DC- GoGo!! DJ Heat, Northeast Groovers and DC Vybe featuring Gregory "Sugar Bear" Elliott kept the crowd on their feet.
I Enjoyed the live gogo music after the game. GOGO music for life in DC, is always a pleasure to have after a Wizards game you get to events for the price of one. I’m a DC native I grew up with Chuck Brown and the Soul Searcher, and a lot these group started from Chuck Brown.
It was to far up I really couldn’t see anything at all and tickets should be cheaper for kids
I thoroughly enjoyed the game and the bonus concert. I thought the bands were able to get set up and playing fairly quick. It was truly enjoyable.
It was easy to get into the venue. Food was great. The Wizards played a great game.
