Why Capital One Arena is a strong March Madness stop

The chance to see top college basketball talent in the nation's capital is priceless. But if you need a little more convincing, here's why DC is the place to be during the NCAA Tournament.

Capital One Arena is just a few blocks away from everything in DC. The Smithsonian, the National Mall, the Capitol Building, the White House and views of the Potomac River. You don't need to travel far to see everything the city has to offer. Even if you do, the arena is conveniently located off the Metro line.

Home of the NBA's Wizards and NHL's Capitals, the DC venue is a top arena in the nation for both sports and entertainment for a reason.
