Just wear a jacket with pockets etc. Eat before coming. Food options here are meh and expensive. My only complaint is the sound system. I've been here for a few concerts like Wu Tang and Romeo Santos and when they play the music loud it gets static.

I felt almost as if I was on an amusement park ride the way the seats moved and jerked into action along with the movie scenes. I was startled a couple times by the water mists and ticking air gusts at my feet. The ticket pricing and snack fees were probably not something I'd spend my own money on without a gift card because they were pretty pricey. It's also a slight maze to locate the theater between the basketball arena and nearby restaurants.

The bathrooms were clean. Concession lines can be a little long, so arrive early. The staff were super friendly, attentive, and helpful they even brought fresh popcorn to my seat in the theater.

NATIONALS PARK in Washington, D.C.! We were able to catch the LA Dodgers during cherry blossom…read moreseason! There were trees inside, which were in full bloom, and I even found a cherry blossom chair! We secured tickets on Easter Sunday, which turned out to be a rainy day, so game time was delayed a couple of hours. Ohtani hit a home run! Final score: 8-6 Dodgers. There were A LOT of Dodgers fans! Uncomplicated stadium. Simple to navigate. Friendly staff. Nats fans were fun. Overall, it was an stress-free visit and I felt safe...even while wearing a LA hat! :-) Easy walk from the Metro Station. We just ordered the basics: hot dog, nachos, and draft beer. Prices were reasonable and the food tasted pretty fresh. I was surprised because we had to grab it from the heat rack. I saw Marine One from our 300's Section, but it was probably in training and/or a decoy. Just across the street is the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge, which you can also see from one of the stadium gates. But, I decided to walk over to take a closer look!

Nationals Park is not just a great MLB ballpark experience, but a great professional sports stadium…read moreexperience. Located along the Anacostia River in Navy Yard, it is one of the more functional and accessible MLB stadiums with ramps and elevators. Nationals Park is the first major professional stadiums in the country to earn LEED Silver Certified status by the U.S. Green Building Council, having incorporated sustainable design elements. The stadium is beautiful, however, doesn't have the historic charm that some of the other stadiums in the league have. There is obviously plenty seating and even better, open standing room to watch the game. You'll find customer-friendly stands serving traditional ballpark food, unattended and cashless grab and pay vendors, bars, and restaurants. Surrounding the ballpark is a plethora of sports bars, restaurants, and pre-game social venues. The team's merchandise store is adequate and staff, friendly. During the spring, you can find cherry trees in peak bloom in many of the standing room areas around the park, adding a beautiful backdrop and scenery to spring games. The park is highly accessible by many roads, connecting all quadrants of the city, Northern Virginia, and Prince George's County, MD. However, parking is limited and on game day and special events, the price to park taxes the wallet. I recommend using Metro which gets you close to the ballpark, including nearby Navy Yard - Ballpark Station which gets you the closest and within steps from the one of the entrances to the ballpark on Half Street. This Metro stop gets crowded because of its proximity to the ballpark. If you have time for a walk, consider exiting the station at New Jersey Avenue or to skip the madness entirely, consider riding to Southwest Waterfront Metro and walking over, crossing South Capitol Street.

I have not found ANYTHING worth attending. It's all shows (very few of these) artists and events you've never heard of. Nothing was even held at a venue I've ever heard of. Don't waste your time thinking you will score the occasional ticket to a real event at a real venue. Since I frequent places like the Kennedy Center, Warner Theater and National Theater, and I know shows are often not sold out, I figured there'd be an occasional ticket to one of those, but no such luck. It's a shame too. I saw Evita while it was at the Kennedy Center and there were dozens (hundreds?) of empty seats in the back and sides of the orchestra section. Who knows how many more were empty in the balconies.

The venue is very intimate without feeling claustrophobic. I don't think you can get a bad seat. I was surprised that the cost for an adult beverage was only $11.50 (before taxes and tip). Now on to the staff....they were all so friendly professional. They truly went out of their way to make your experience exceptional and smooth. Shoutout to Bernard for his kindness, humor, and just plain overall charisma. Instead of making me throw away some snacks I had he had it secured in the office for pick up after the show. He was so funny and easygoing about it all and he and other staff went out of their way to not make me feel bad or stupid for the faux pas. The bartenders in the foyer were awesome and patient too when I wasn't sure what to order. They also served my drinks neatly and their welcoming demeanor made me go back for another. If you are attending an event at the Lincoln Theater know that you will be taken care of very well and that your event will run smoothly. It's a beautiful venue and I hope to be able to go to another concert again soon!

I was with an influential family in a box suite (with extra seats in the row behind us). One of the sponsors asked a family member (who had just sponsored the vip reception we attended) to move. The sponsor did not seem to know who the person was. The family was incredibly gracious about it. The venue is great for plays, Q & A's and screenings. There just needs to be a better plan. If you have different staff for each event, it is really hard to look professional. The theater is directly across the street from U Street Metro.

The Capitals compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Metropolitan Division in the Eastern Conference. The team has been playing at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. since 1997. The Capitals were formed in 1974 and won the Stanley Cup in the 2017/2018 season. Two years that were very good times in my life! All eyes are going to be on the team and the star player tomorrow when they play the Islanders. Alexander Ovechkin a Russian Hockey Player most likely will break the long time record for the most goals in a career. Ovechkin has already tied the record held by Wayne Gretzky. I'm recommending you enjoy hockey live and on television. I will definitely be watching the game on TV tomorrow at 12:30pm Capitals versus the Islanders. I'm a huge hockey fan of all the teams. This is a very big deal in the world of NHL Hockey.

Since their first season in 1974-75, the Washington Capitals have been in the top third of the NHL…read morein terms of regular-season performance. Thus, the Capitals are a perennial playoff team. In the playoffs, the team has been relatively mediocre, with a sub-.470 win percentage. The lack of playoff success shows in the number of Stanley Cup Finals (2) and Stanley Cup championships (1) won. Since drafting Alexander Ovechkin with the first pick in 2004, Ovechkin has been synonymous with the Capitals. So far, he's spent all 17 seasons of his NHL career playing for Washington. In July 2021, he signed a five-year deal with the Capitals that's worth an average of $9.5 million per year. The contract will see him through to the 2025-26 season. By the end of that season, he'll be 40 years old. Ovechkin is a living legend and for-sure hall-of-famer. He's currently the only active NHL player within striking distance of Wayne Gretzky's all-time NHL regular-season goals scored record of 894. At the time of writing this review, Ovechkin has scored 772 goals and ranks third behind Gretzky and another legend, Gordie Howe (801), all time. Gretzky scored at a rate of .601 goals per game. Ovechkin's current career pace is higher at .611, so he has a realistic shot at surpassing The Great One. Needless to say, Ovechkin has set lots of records, both within the franchise and league-wide. He's also as decorated as they get. Now a 12-time All-Star, he holds the record for most Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophies (season-leading goal scorer) won with nine and counting. He's a three-time Hart Memorial Trophy (NHL regular season MVP) winner (2008, 2009, 2013) and he won the Conn Smythe Trophy (Stanley Cup Playoffs MVP) in 2018. Ovechkin has been the team captain since 2010. 2018 is when Ovi and the Caps won the Stanley Cup. After dropping Game 1 on the road at T-Mobile Arena (Paradise, Nevada), Washington rebounded to win Games 2 through 5 and win their Finals matchup against the Vegas Golden Knights, 4-1. The Capitals closed out a tight one on the road in Game 5, winning 4-3: https://youtu.be/IzyKiQY5GoI. The Golden Knights were brand new that season (2017-18). The Capitals' head coach at the time was Barry Trotz. After only four seasons in Washington, he resigned just days after leading the Capitals to the Stanley Cup championship (contract disagreements) and signed with the New York Islanders. The Capitals have had two head coaches since Trotz: Todd Reirden (2018-2020) and current coach Peter Laviolette. Unlike Reirden, Laviolette brought over 15 years of NHL head coaching experience to Washington. Coincidentally, Laviolette's first NHL head coaching job is where Trotz is today, the New York Islanders. He led the Carolina Hurricanes to the 2006 Stanley Cup championship and led both the Philadelphia Flyers (2010) and the Nashville Predators (2017) to the Stanley Cup Finals.

The whole experience was exciting. The fans were cheering non-stop, there was so much going on! Players flew over walls, balls were caught by excited fans, t-shirts were thrown to the crowd, and there was excellent entertainment between plays!! The Valor team absolutely abolished the Baltimore Bregade! It was obvious that there was a lot of talent on the field. I saw good sportsmanship as well. Players on both teams would help each other up after a fall. The players, and coach, also interacted a bit with the crowd. They were waving to people calling out to them, and they even got the crowd cheering. I'd say this is a great family activity. There were a lot of kids that were engaged and enjoying the game. If you have t seen arena football I encourage you to get to a Valor game adap! I'm so glad we have season tickets and can't wait to see the Valor dominate the field again!

Brand new franchise and they absolutely nailed it on opening night!…read more As an inaugural season ticket holder we had several special events prior to the first ever kickoff. The events included Coach Cokinos and went a long way towards welcoming the new fans. Coach answered numerous questions about payroll, strategy, rosters, and rules. We finally got to see Coach's plan in full effect on Friday night. Our seats are five rows from the field and right next to the Valor sideline. We are close enough to hear every word and all of the in-game coaching decisions. QB Meyer executed the offensive game plan beautifully and WR Washington was all over the field. It's going to be exciting watching these guys all season. The prices for beer and food is what you would expect at the Verizon Center (overpriced) but the tickets to the game are reasonably priced. This is definitely a family event with lots of excitement to be had by all. I even caught a ball and got to keep it! The product on the field is elite level and the excitement in the stands is through the roof. Absolutely make the time to check out the next Valor game!
