Home venues in Ticket Timeline's game data

Buildings the Wizards have called home in the attendance data Ticket Timeline uses—useful when an old ticket names a former arena or an earlier naming-rights label.

Ticket Timeline's game data covers Wizards home games at the downtown Washington arena in its current and previous naming iterations, with emphasis on the modern era beginning in 1997.

If your ticket says MCI Center, Verizon Center, that's the same building under an earlier name.

The franchise that became the Washington Wizards was founded as the Chicago Packers in 1961, then became the Chicago Zephyrs before relocating to Baltimore in 1963 as the Baltimore Bullets. The team moved to Washington, D.C. in 1973 as the Capital Bullets (later Washington Bullets, and finally Washington Wizards in 1997). Washington's modern era began on December 2, 1997, when the Wizards played their first game at the newly opened MCI Center, a 20,700-seat downtown arena. The building carried three names over its three decades: MCI Center (1997–2006), Verizon Center (2006–2017), and Capital One Arena (2017–present).

If your ticket names MCI Center or Verizon Center, that's the same downtown Washington venue under earlier corporate names—the Wizards didn't move, only the sponsor changed.

Washington Wizards play home games at Capital One Arena in Washington, DC, USA. Dates for those nights are anchored in Eastern time. The building list above is what Ticket Timeline uses when an older ticket names an earlier name of the same building.

Rebuild your Wizards history

Use that timeline when dating a night: tickets that still say MCI Center or Verizon Center refer to Capital One Arena—the same downtown Washington building under earlier corporate names. The Wizards franchise history spans Chicago, Baltimore, and Washington, but the modern competitive era began when the team moved to D.C. in 1973, with the current arena opening in 1997. Rebuilding Wizards attendance is usually a scavenger hunt: paper tickets and PDF confirmations, camera-roll scoreboard dates, calendar invites, season-ticket statements, and memory anchors (companions, rivals, life events, arena names on stubs). Work season by season; a partial list of attended games is enough to start matching opponents and arenas. When confirmations live in Gmail, import games you've attended walks through a read-only preview before anything is committed. For a shoebox of stubs, see what to do with old ticket stubs.

  • Old paper tickets and digital PDFs
  • Email receipts and order confirmations
  • Camera-roll photos with visible dates or scoreboards
  • Calendar entries and season-ticket records
  • Memory anchors: opponents, companions, venues, life events
  • Earlier printed names for Capital One Arena: MCI Center (1997–2006), Verizon Center (2006–2017)
  • Capital One Arena nights (2017–present)—current name in Ticket Timeline's data

What your Wizards archive unlocks

Once you've logged Wizards games you attended, Ticket Timeline surfaces the attendance story—not a live scoreboard. Visited insights can include the downtown Washington arena under its earlier names: MCI Center (1997–2006), Verizon Center (2006–2017), and today's Capital One Arena (2017–present).

At Capital One Arena

Wizards home games today are at Capital One Arena, a roughly 20,700-seat downtown Washington venue in the Chinatown neighborhood. It opened on December 2, 1997 as the MCI Center, carried the name Verizon Center from 2006 to 2017, and was renamed Capital One Arena in 2017 after a new naming-rights deal. Former arena names live in the venue timeline above—use those when an old ticket does not say Capital One Arena.

A memory worth recovering

If your ticket stub says MCI Center or Verizon Center, you're looking at the same downtown Washington building under an earlier corporate sponsor name—not a different arena. The venue opened in 1997, changing names in 2006 and again in 2017, but the Wizards never left the building. A lifetime archive can preserve all the nights you witnessed at this one location across its three corporate identities.
