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.

Good atmosphere. Could use better signage and/or directions to upper level sections.
Great seats, great views, electric atmosphere! I can’t want to go back.
I bought a "double"cocktail drink. It was basically an expensive soda.
I bought two tickets at a very good price in Row K in Section 111. Our seating Section was directly across from the Arena entrance near Clydes of Gallery Place which makes it convenient for a pre or post game dining experience.
Had a wonderful time. Food was great. Everything was clean. I loved getting in early with my Capital One card. A very exciting game as well. We will definitely be back.
Our family recently attended a Wizards game v the Hornets. We sat in the 200 level Row C. The view was amazing! The concessions were high priced, so I'd recommend sharing the popcorn and soda. The atmosphere was family friendly. Great experience!
The fellow sitting next to me might have best been nickedname Crisco. He spilled over onto my seat. Good thing the arena was not filled. It was easy to find another seat. The most exciting thing about the event was the tee shirt toss. The Wizards can't hit a Three - a problem when the Celtics are hitting 40% from beyond the arc.
I attended the Wizards game with the Memphis Grizzlies on December 8. The game was fun--the seats were good and everything went very smoothly at the Verizon Center. But it was not inexpensive -- the ticket (200 level) was $120 and the food and drink were over $25 for a pretzel and a beer and for an order of french fries and a large soda.
Tickets were far more expensive than for the hockey. Pretty decent atmosphere, overpriced beer and ridiculously priced merchandise
