Capital One Arena has been the shared home of the Washington Capitals and Washington Wizards since it opened in 1997 as the MCI Center, cycling through the name Verizon Center before adopting its current name in 2017. Its downtown location helped anchor the redevelopment of Washington's Penn Quarter neighborhood, and it is also the home of Georgetown Hoyas basketball.
