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.

You are all day enjoying Washington DC and notice on the line before enter that backpacks are not allowed. The locker service prizs is the half of thse ticket prize. Very bad!!!
Never disappoints! Great atmosphere to watch our team!
This was my first NBA game and I loved ghe experience.
Easiest process ever and the game was incredible, the people were super affable, I loved it.
Great and easy transaction. Easy to find and purchase.
As a Suns fan. Still had a good time. Atmosphere was great!
Crowd Management was great! Getting in and out of the arena was very easy. The concourses are still easy to navigate. I'd turn down the PA a bit but that's minor.
I love wizards. I assisted to watch the game with my friend and we left happy for the victory.
we had never attended a hockey or basketball game before. The basketball game was just boring. There was no atmosphere in the hall. In ice hockey it was the other way around. We won't go to any more basketball games in Washington.
Great experience, parking was close and easy, entry to the arena was pretty quick and painless. Found our seats quickly and enjoyed the pregame DJ and warm ups. Game was great, traffic was traffic, a lot more traffic after the game than before it. Had a great experience.
The only down side to our trip is the control on bag sizes (yes they send you a text to inform you) you can take in so when the chap at the entrance says to my wife that bag is just (and i mean just - I wasn't convinced) to big you need to take bag around the corner to the lockers and the for the pleasure of leaving it in a locker it will cost you $14 - easy money or what. That said the rest of the evening was brilliant the entertainment was the great, the game brilliant (Clippers win)
My 1st NBA game in a long, long, long time! Hubby and I thoroughly enjoyed the game, the atmosphere, just being at an event after dealing with pandemic for years.
This was my daughter's first NBA game. She had a great time. Not only did she enjoy the basketball but really got a kick out of all the entertaintment, including the music, the dancing, the fan-cam and the competitions. There was never a dull moment. Coming from the UK, she was also impressed with how friendly the staff was. This included when we arrived for the game, when we looked for our seats, when we bought food and drink at halftime and when we left the arena and the staff thanked us for coming. A very nice experience. (The only downside was how the Wizards played and lost).
The live music was not enough to excite the audience (at least I was not driven up) and there was only one appearance of the cheerleaders, so the interaction was a bit disappointing, not as perfect as expected
Great time if it wasn’t for the ghetto people behind me
FIRST TIME ATTENDING WAS GREAT GAME REALLY CLOSED WIN! 🏆
It felt good to experience an NBA game in person for the first time. I will definitely be back again!
We decided to attend a Wizards game as a family outing and it was an amazing experience. The game was fun for me and my sons but the energy, music, and crowd participation made it enjoyable for my wife (not a sports fan). The concession prices are higher now than I recall but overpriced stadium food is part of the experience. Overall, 10 out of 10 recommend!!!
Speakers were blaring - especially at the beginning of the game. Take it down a notch. It really takes away from the athletes.
I enjoy watching the basketball but the stadium is too noisy.
