Getting to Capital One Arena
Washington Wizards · Washington, DC
Capital One Arena sits on top of Gallery Place/Chinatown, where the Red, Green and Yellow lines meet, with two more stations within walking distance either side of it. The arena publishes Metro's closing times by day, which matters here: on a Sunday the system shuts at 11pm, earlier than any other night of the week.
Tips & Fan Reports
Judiciary Square and Metro Center are the fallbacks if Gallery Place is congested.
Metro closes at 11pm on Sundays — earlier than any other night, and worth checking against a late finish.
The Yellow Line runs direct from Reagan National Airport to the arena's station.
Gallery Place/Chinatown is directly beneath the arena and carries three lines.
Drivers want the corner of F and 7th NW, or F and 6th depending on approach.
