New DC Arena and Entertainment District

Capital One Arena Where Monuments
meet momentum

In a city full of historic monoliths, we are building something bold and bright, something for now that also envisions the future. Something that invites our fans to not just look at history, but to live it.

We’re transforming Capital One Arena to elevate your experience

Our upgrades are all about making your visit smoother, more enjoyable, and more connected – from faster entry and better food options to enhanced gathering spaces, featuring local favorites and new culinary experiences. The goal is to reduce time spent in lines and upgrading the overall experience, allowing fans to focus on enjoyment of the event.

  • 60% or more of budget going towards fan experience and premium upgrades
  • More entrances, wider concourses, diverse culinary options and 60% more concession points
  • Expanded kitchen space (110%) leading to fresher and more expanded culinary in the building
  • Vertical transportation – dedicated escalators and elevators ensuring circulation/flow
  • We intend to reward all of our fans and promote exploration, both inside and outside the arena
