Caps are the better product for sure. There is so much talent on the Caps, and Alex Ovechkin will go down as one of the greatest hockey players to ever play the game so you don’t want to miss him. The Wizards unfortunately have not been very good for many years and right now they really don’t have anyone that’s a must see player. The atmosphere is also better for the hockey because they are good and routinely in the playoffs.

There are multiple hotels and restaurant around the arena.

I’m guessing you are asking nearby? We dined at a place called Crimson Diner after the game! I thought it was a good place to eat! The area is in the middle of Chinatown! There were several authentic Chinese Restaurants to choose from! We Didn’t get a chance to try any other places due to only staying one night for a Caps game! Good luck and have fun in DC!

We parked in arena itself but it’s very jam as everyone is trying to get out at the same time. So when we went back there, we found a nearby place (a parking garage) which was more affordable and only 2-3 blocks away. It was goood coz we avoided all the unnecessary congestion by walking to car park. U can search for nearby car park garages that offer good rates ;)

I went in the mainnentwbce and it went pretty quickly. Thy have way more stations there than any other entrance. Just get in a little early and you should be fine. I hit Game 3 and entered at about 7:45 with no issues. Go Caps!

1) Not sure - check their website/contact them. 2) All NHL teams warm up on ice before the game, which is open to the public. Just get to the game early and it's easy to watch practice - you are also able to start out closer to the ice and move to your assigned seats after warm-ups 3) There are so many things to do in the area - not knowing your taste, it's impossible to tell. Look at what's around that matches what you want. So many delicious restaurants...

I agree with the other post club level or suites. Regular seats are tight.
