I came to the Show Place Arena for the first time to attend the Bill Pickett Rodeo. I was impressed by how smooth everything ran from the parking attendants keeping traffic moving and getting people parked, to how efficient security and ticket enforcement got everyone into the building. The actual arena isn't necessarily small, but it's not huge either, so it still feels lively but intimate at the same time. One of the benefits of the size is that there really isn't a bad seat in the house, but if you have a preference you'll need to arrive early because seats fill up quick.

Concessions Menu, accepts Visa & Master Card.

Parking can be a hike, but on the plus side there is event parking personnel to direct you so you're not searching for a place. The venue itself is pretty nice for smaller events. They offer concessions at ok prices (credit cards accepted), friendly staff, clean restrooms & stadium style seating.

See all

Prince George's Stadium - Trash

Color me impressed. I don't remember what it was like when I was a kid, but as an adult, I just…read moreassume that coming to a sports event comes with long lines, severely overpriced food and drinks, and lots of filth. I didn't get any of that here. Checking in was a breeze, and it's kind of cool that you get to sit wherever you want. I was a little hungry and it was crazy that they were literally no lines... At least not every time that I looked. Now, Chick Fil A had items that were $20+, but outside of that... I couldn't be mad at $5 tacos. And let me tell you how delicious those were, WHEW! I'm not really a beer drinker, but they did have Mango Cart and wine... Though it was only sweet wine. Why were the bathrooms cleaner than a lot of standard restaurants?! I was quite surprised. And the icing on the cake was the fireworks at the end. I can't imagine inhaling all that smoke is safe to do regularly, but it was quite the spectacle. I would definitely return to this stadium for a game!

I met up with friends for a game and had a great time! Parking was very easy to navigate. There is…read morea main parking lot as well as a satellite parking lot in a field with a walkway that leads to the stadium. The lines for food never seemed to be too long and appeared to be moving quickly. Evan was a great MC and kept the crowd engaged. The combination of a fun night with friends, a Baysox win and the fireworks at the end really made the experience memorable.

Commanders Field - Half time

Commanders Field

Introduction:…read more Representing 2nd of 2 from July 2023 in scrapbook series is Commanders Field. So, Washington Commanders have pissed me off for various reasons with the prior owner, Snyder. In 2023, I was feeling better about the Commanders with Josh Harris taking over ownership, but I know I was in the minority, Commanders pissed me off that they were going to move back to DC in 2030. I think they should stay in Landover and maybe make a few updates to the existing site. I would've been ok if they had decided to move elsewhere in MD or even out in VA. I just didn't want DC to get all the tax revenue. Why was July 2023 representing Commander's Field if that's not football season or even pre-season?: With the new Josh Harris ownership, they had a big welcome event and speech by Harris & various others at the stadium that July day. It was fun. I got a few free goodies there and met & got pictured with cheerleaders. It was a fun event overall. Prior times I was there, both in Redskin era: I attended 2 Redskin games in November 2014 & October 2016. At that time, I was rooting for them as that was the local team. They got destroyed in November 2014. I did get to enjoy their 1 & only touchdown. It was cold that day, but I enjoyed my very first NFL game ever in the nosebleeds with a friend. October 2016 game was a beautiful warm sunny day, and Redskins beat the Eagles. I was happy in 2016, but now I'm in a bird alliance. Ravens became my #1 team in 2022, and Eagles are in my top 5 NFL teams. My friend's dad wasn't able to attend with the season tickets they had, and he invited me. We sat behind the goal, which was pretty cool. I think the Commanders Field seats are adequate, and it's a good stadium. Granted, MY Ravens M&T bank stadium is quintessential 5-star stadium that I will be getting to 5 reviews from now in this scrapbook series. I say MY Ravens, but the fact of the matter is it's not really MY Ravens; not like I own the team or anything, but I do have a vested interest in their wellbeing with getting wins. It's unfortunate they are going to move to DC. Not the most outstanding stadium like M&T Bank Stadium, but still a good, solid stadium.

September 21st 2025…read more This place is so disorganized and disappointing. My father called ahead of time since him and I are both disabled (we both have handicap placards and my father has a permanent disabled license plate) He finally got ahold of someone and they said if we want handicap parking up close get the gold parking pass. I paid 200 dollars for parking. Yes, 200. Parking up close is VERY important to me.. Nobody was helpful in guiding us to the lot we paid 200 dollars for. Also, they told us when we got there there's no handicap places, we just have to go and sit on a blue bench and call a number for a golf cart to pick us up. I called the number 3 times and somebody did answer. They were nice but not helpful. We ended up having to give up and walk. No workers were helpful, and when we would try to flag down other workers on golf carts they would not stop for us. They did not even look at us The stadium is very outdated. It looks extremely industrial and not welcoming Very crowded Lines were long There definitely was not enough bathrooms or food areas to keep up with all the people it can hold However, I did enjoy the seats we had. I liked the view. And the field looks great. I will say, the bathrooms for the MOST part were clean for over 50 thousand people being there. I did see a toilet overflowing onto the ground though. But workers were taking care of it This stadium needs a huge update. Do not waste 200 on up close parking. It wasn't even that up close and nobody came and picked us up despite us calling and waiting for 43 minutes (the game had already started while we were waiting) Again, I do have to hand it to the woman on the phone who kept answering. It wasn't her fault and at least she answered. So, if you are disabled and can't walk far, plan accordingly Every stadium is different So always check their bag rules. I did have to use a small clear bag Sadly, this stadium is probably one of the worst I've been to P.S- if you google worst NFL stadiums, this one comes up lol. So I'm not the only one complaining

Came here for the Le Sserafim concert on Oct 5 and overall had a great experience!…read more Starting from before we entered the venue, you can imagine there were a lot of people trying to get in but there were a ton of staff outside basically corralling all of us into more organized lines to enter. We all just followed the line and were able to enter smoothly. They also had F Street blocked off for this. The no bag policy - this is something Cap One recently established. From what I read online beforehand, security was a hit or miss. For this event, I saw that they let people go through with purses/bags bigger than 4x6, both clear and non clear. I personally brought something smaller. The venue itself was good! There was also a lot of staff inside directing people and answering questions. No complaints at all on staffing and service! Everyone we encountered was great!! The food stalls were interesting! You scan your credit card in a turnstile first and they let you in to grab food. It was a bit confusing at first because you didn't have to "check out", you just grab the food and go. There's a ton a of cameras in front of the stall, so I think they track what you take then charge you afterward. We sat in section 403, row A and it was a better view than expected! The only downside was that part of the big screen was blocked by a speaker but that probably can't be helped anyway.

I had the opportunity to visit Capital One Arena for the Wizards' open practice, and we had such an…read moreamazing time! The staff were incredibly pleasant, and there was plenty of popcorn and drinks available for guests. We had so much fun watching the team practice and enjoying an amazing performance from the dancers. I honestly forgot just how great Capital One Arena is! It was such a fun experience, and I'm definitely looking forward to coming back.

AWESOME EXPERIENCE !! And as a life long die hard fan ( since the age of 4 years old ) seeing my…read morefirst Commanders game in live action was such a blast.... FYI: To enjoy the full atmosphere, you have to tailgate first ( that's mandatory or you're cheating yourself !! ) As I left the tailgating area to walk into the Stadium I could literally feel the adrenaline of the other 60k ( plus ) fans... it was actually electrifying on every level ( even hearing the Seahawks fan "YELL" ... "SEA-HAWKS !! ) My seats were absolutely marvelous and the crowd noise was deafening on every play. And the caveat for the day is the Commanders got their first victory of the year over the defending champs !!! The Stadium is beautiful, the employees are more like family members and the food is also tasty while watching my beloved team score TD's !!! Next year I will 100% become a season ticket holder ( if you haven't been it's a must you check it out !!! )

I see the low rating for this venue but I love it here my husband and I attend the stadium at least…read moretwice a year during football season in support of the commanders him in supportive me he's a Bears fan. I love the parking situation I love the concessions I just love it here! The seating we have it usually varies this past Sunday we were in attendance for the commanders game against the Seahawks great win by the way fellas. We sat in section 104 row 17 seats five and six I believe those were our exact seats and the view was perfect everyone around us was perfect no issues even though there are attendants in the stands just in case something goes left... but all was good as far as I could see. I love it here I don't know if it's because I'm a fan but this game in particular it did rain and our seats are out in the open but our ponchos kept us dry for the most part. They do have suites available I'm not sure if that's just for season ticket holders but nevertheless go at your own risk. Ladies and whomever else decides that they want to take a large bag if any bag at all into the stadium there is a bag policy. Myself I carry about a coin size purse a crossbody and that's perfectly fine if you have a large bag it needs to be clear but again if it's something that you absolutely do not need then don't bring one just the FYI. I did get an alcoholic beverage as well as a bag of peanuts spent about maybe $40 on those two items total but again it was worth it. I mean they're going to get your money some kind of way so either you go there not needing anything to drink or eat or you go there and be ready to spend. Go Commanders!! Have fun and enjoy life :)
