Pros: Good views, not too busy

Pros: sound system and entertainment value added
Cons: my seats were bad, parking is hard to find

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.

Pros: Washington Sports, easy to find your way around
Cons: Small seats in the upper levels.

Pros: Size, Luxurious, Accesible by Metro
Cons: Seats, Teams it has in it
