CareFirst Arena: Attraction, Washington

This is an intimate sports and entertainment facility in Congress Heights that hosts WNBA games, college tournaments, and community events. Every 100-level seat offers an unobstructed view, and the close quarters give mid-major college hoops a special feel. Staff from the box office to concessions are consistently friendly; some visitors found that regulars get remembered by name by the end of a multi-day tournament. Getting here is easy via the Green Line to Congress Heights, a short walk from the arena, which helps you avoid the parking problems some have noted. Parking is available in the garage behind the building, with street parking as an option.
