MCI Center

Cons: Overpriced.

At the MCI center you can enjoy so much. I live in the DC district. I love the Mystics, Caps, and Washington Wizards. The MCI center may be the greatest place to go. Maybe that’s because I’m called a sports freak. The place is amazing. It’s...

Pros: Public Transportation; Fantastic food outside and escalators/elevators to the nose bleed seats.
Cons: Seats are very uncomfortable. No TVs in the nose bleeds to see the game.

The arena is nothing special. There is nothing special about the Club level, either. The seats are small and uncomfortable. Only Verizon Cellular service will work inside this underground venue. However, bathrooms are not crowded and there are plenty ...

Pros: Location, and ticket price (for some events).
Cons: Not a special venue.

In the last several years, I have seen four basketball games at the MCI Center in Washington DC. Three of these games were NCAA Men's Basketball games between the visiting Notre Dam Fightin' Irish, and the Georgetown Hoyas. The other game was a WNBA ...

Getting to the MCI center is...

Pros: Very nice in general.
Cons: Acoustics are way off.

Both my roommate and myself have access to cheep, or even free tickets at times due to our employer’s pass holdings. And that being said I have been to the MCI center quite a few times. And I would like to say that it’s great for sporting events, but is...

Cons: Very little parking, small seats, extremely high prices

The MCI Center in downtown DC is really a refreshing change from our former hockey/basketball stadium, USAIR arena, all the way in Landover. MCI Center is conveniently located near China Town, with many great restaurants and shops nearby. I mostly watch...

The MCI Center embodies Washington, DC's quest for urban renewal. By moving the sports teams to what used to be a not-so-nice area of downtown, the city hopes to draw people back into town. The arena is beautiful in many ways, and is great for making a...

Pros: spacious, lively, cool idea, other stores than the arena, natonal Gallery is awesome, next to the subway, plenty of action always happening like games and concerts, WWF wrestling comes often

Cons: lack of parking, ticket and food prices

Pros: Easily accessible, Nice surroundings
Cons: No parking, Single tickets are pricey

My experience with the MCI Center is pretty good. I have been to many NHL hockey games there to watch The Washington Capitals battle their opponents. The center itself is nice, it has wide aisles for people to walk and mingle about in. There are...

Pros: cozy, great views, easy access
Cons: seating can be tight for some

I went with a friend to see the Wizards play the Grizzlies one night. Good thing they were playing the Grizzlies as well since, coming from the Northeast we're used to the not a snowball's chance in hell of getting seats remotely close to the floor, we...

Pros: Great Place to see a game
Cons: bad teams play there

bPoor Abe. Always accused of being cheap and not making big moves during the 80s and much of the 90s, he decided to change his way in dramatic fashion. He built a beautiful place in the heart of what was then a dying part of town. Single-handedly...
