I have been to the Verizon Center to see the Wizards play numerous times. I love basketball and the most amazing feeling is watching the sport I love, in person, at the highest level.

Even though the Wizards have not been to the playoffs in years, there are many other events held at the Verizon Center and Attendance to the Wizards games has still been steady the past few years.Event Schedule for the MonthVerizon Center7As seen on their website: http://verizoncenter.com/event-schedule/
