    We have made it a yearly thing where we see at least one NBA G League game, but this year there…read morewere changes that made things more confusing. I really wish they had more concessions at this arena, so typically we have dinner before or after pending the game time. If you get the tickets with beer/wine and snacks I highly recommend to only sit in the lounge. The floor seats aren't worth it at all. You can be on the opposite side of the lounge and be forced to walk up the stairs around the arena back down the stairs grab your snacks only to have to do that all over again to get back to your seats. The ushers also give conflicting information and be told to walk one way and then be forced to walk another by another person. It makes it very confusing and frustrating for a guest that is just following what they were told.

    I can't believe this was my first time to a game since the Mystics were moved from Capital Sports…read moreArena. But let's talk about the route to the arena. What the What?! Who thought this through? You'll definitely have to get there early due to that 2-lane, tight squeeze through the neighborhood. I'm sure the people who actually live there hate game-day as it makes it harder for them to get home. That's crazy. BUT, after the game, on my way home, I turned right (instead of left to follow everybody else and return the way I came) and found an easier route. It was actually a route I know as my friends live by the big chair and I could easily hop onto 295 to get home. But I digress. The Arena itself is pretty nice. It looks like the area is being renovated a bit. I'm not sure exactly where in DC it is, but there are several old buildings in the area that had to be in use at some point in time. It didn't take too long to get in and our seats were right up front. The atmosphere for Pride night was festive. I was easily able to grab some food & drink and head to my seat with no problem. It is a smaller venue, but it felt cozy. I had a good time. After the game you can go across the street to an area which holds a few eateries and there's one big indoor area with a bar. If you park in the garage, be prepared to wait about 20 minutes before there's any movement so you can get out. I was nervous I'd be sitting there LONGER, but once we started moving, we got out quickly. If you get there EARLY you can probably park on the street which will facilitate your exit.

    We had a great time watching a DC United game recently. Our seats were great, and even though we…read morewere fairly high up, Audi Field has well positioned seats--so that you can see well without feeling that the seats are too elevated (for people like me--who don't like heights.) The food choices in the stadium are good, and the atmosphere is always fun. We also used Spot Hero and were able to park conveniently near the stadium...

    DC United has been one of the most successful clubs in MLS to date. In terms of total MLS Cups won,…read moreDC is currently second (4 championships), trailing only the LA Galaxy (5). DC United is tied with the LA Galaxy for the most Supporters' Shields won (4 each; most seasons with best regular season record). They've also won three US Open Cups (second-most in the league) and are the only MLS team to have won either the CONCACAF Champions League and the Copa Interamericana championship. So, when it comes to Major League Soccer, this is what you call a historically elite team. DC United was one of the original 10 teams to begin MLS play in the league's inaugural season in 1996. They had success right out the gate, winning the MLS Cup in 1996, 1997, and 1999. The team carried that success into the 2000s, but aside from their 2013 US Open Cup win (where they were underdogs), they haven't won anything of consequence since. A couple of the most well-known players and coaches from DC United include Bolivian forward Jaime Moreno and American midfielder and coach Ben Olsen. Moreno and Olsen were teammates on the 1999 and 2004 MLS Cup championship teams. Moreno has gone on to set club records in many statistical categories including most appearances (427) and goals scored (162). No other DC United player has come close. The season immediately after his last as a player (2009), Olsen took the reins as head coach in 2010 after the firing of Curt Onalfo. Olsen went on to coach DC United for an entire decade (2010-2020), by far the longest tenure of any club coach. For the first 22 seasons, DC United played in the old RFK Stadium (opened 1961) which was used for a variety of sporting events including Washington Redskins (NFL), Washington Nationals (MLB), and Military Bowl (NCAA Division I FBS) games. The team has played at Audi Field since its opening in 2018. Audi Field, which was built specifically for DC United, is located about 10-15 minutes (5-6 miles) away from the old stadium, down the Anacostia River. In its final years as home to DC United, RFK was configured to seat 20,000 for MLS games, same as Audi Field.

    Newer facilities with quick and easy access overall. Be mindful of the upper seating, stairs at a…read moregood incline if you are not nimble on your feet. Good view of field from most seats. Not a lot of shade depending on seats and time of the day and even if covered can have sum breaking through gaps so ensure to put that SPF on for those sunny days! Parking is atrocious here with fees of $100 immediately around if driving in. Metro is 15-20 minute walk so plan accordingly!

    For review 4,300, I think it fitting to bestow that on Audi Field. I'm a fan of soccer, but don't…read morereally follow. I enjoy being in the crowd to watch a live game rather than sit at home and watch it on television. When I had the chance to go to a game, I made sure to take that offer up. Plus, I got to explore more of the city this way. A city that I have lived in for a few years and still have yet to discover a majority of it. Making your way here was fantastic while using the Metro. Getting in here was a breeze too. But, if I may, use any other entrance than Entrance A. The other entrances are way easier to get into and virtually no lines. Getting to your seats here are really easy as well, just follow the signs and you will be there quite fast. However, there are a lot of people that cannot decipher where the sections are. I had a few people try to say I was in their seat when I was not. They were the next section over. The one thing I would have liked to have known was that there was a second level right near my section instead of having to climb those steep steps. But the view, my god the view at this place is amazing. Seeing the Washington Monument over the jumbo screen was amazing. I do have to say, there is definitely not a bad seat in this stadium. Perfect view of the field and, if you are like me, a great place to disassociate. I caught myself staring off into the DC sky a lot while here. That view also lends to how a goal celebration happens here. Over the scoreboard there will be fireworks that shoot out in a 'W' formation with the DC skyline behind it. And when there is a goal, this place comes more alive than it already is. I really enjoyed myself here while watching the game. It was a great stadium to take in a game, and one I hope to come back to time and time again.

    The Capital City Go-Go are one of the NBA G League's newest teams. They're the Washington Wizards'…read moreG League affiliate and their first season was 2018-19. The Go-Go are named after go-go music, similar to funk, that originated in Washington, DC in the late 70s. The team is unique because they were the first, and are still currently the only, G League team to play in the same city as their NBA affiliate. The Motor City Cruise (soon-to-be former Northern Arizona Suns), the Detroit Pistons' G League affiliate, will become the G League's second team to play in the same city as their NBA affiliate beginning next year (2021). The Go-Go's first season was concurrent with the opening of, at the time (2018), the brand new Entertainment and Sports Arena in Southeast Washington. The ESA is home to not only the Go-Go, but the WNBA's Washington Mystics. Also, it serves as the Wizards' practice facility. For Go-Go and Mystics games, the ESA seats 4,111 fans (max capacity: 4,200). On one hand, the opening of the arena was timely because it coincided with the Mystics' first WNBA championship. Three WNBA Finals games were held at the ESA. On the other hand, the opening was untimely because the COVID-19 pandemic moved the Mystics away from the ESA and into the IMG Academy bubble in Bradenton, Florida. It also suspended and eventually canceled the remainder of the 2019-20 G League season and playoffs. To date, the last game the Go-Go played at home at the ESA was on March 2, 2020 against the Delaware Blue Coats. For an expansion team with such a short history, the Go-Go haven't done bad. Two years in a row, they've finished second in the league's Southeast division with no worse than a .500 record: 25-25 in 2018-19 and 22-21 in 2019-20. The team is managed by basketball veteran Pops Mensah-Bonsu who I happen know for two reasons: (1) As a Georgia Tech alumni/fan, I remember Mensah-Bonsu playing for George Washington in their first round matchup against Tech in the 2005 NCAA tournament. (2) As a San Antonio Spurs and NBA fan, I remember Mensah-Bonsu playing, for a short time, for the Spurs and bouncing around other teams in the NBA. Some name players, at least on the college level, have made their way through Capital City. A handful of notables include Temple's Lavoy Allen (who played seven years in the NBA), Notre Dame's Jerian Grant (four years NBA), Vanderbilt's John Jenkins (six years NBA), Tennessee's Jordan McRae (four years NBA including a championship with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016), Virginia's London Perrantes, and Tennessee's Admiral Schofield. I saw some of these guys up close and in person when they played against Georgia Tech at McCamish Pavilion in Atlanta.
