So...that person outside the arena asking “what’s in your wallet?” wasn’t from Capital One?

You win the thread!🥳

I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fan demographics in the area, nothing at all.

More than likely, not.

[Dilbert San Diego]

It’s tough when the arena is in a bad neighborhood.

Has attendance slipped? I’m sure some people won’t want to go there if it’s a rough area.

[SuperLuminal]

Old news...
Drugs, faggots, hoodlums, filthy language, and the incessant jungle drums...

I still refer to the “wizards” as their one and only true name, the Washington bullets. Cause it fits oh so perfect.

In recent years, some won’t even go into DC at all because of the crime.

[Jimmy Valentine]

I’m almost ready to miss Marion Barry

[quilterdebbie]

I go there for Capitals games frequently. I get a parking spot right near the arena and have not had a problem. Police directing traffic.

Not too long ago, Chinatown was a destination, now it’s a crime riddled “Cannabis” filled disgrace. Homeless in every vestibule with a thin blue line of “report takers” masquerading as law enforcement who look like they couldn’t pass a donut truck.

[Bookshelf]

So what are the seven more dangerous venues. The curious want to know.

[P.O.E.]

Those darned hockey fans /s

Dear Washington Examiner:

Psssst….

…it’s the PEOPLE in the neighborhood, not the neighborhood itself…

Shhh… not supposed to say that part out loud…

[desertsolitaire]

Memphis Grizzlies ranked MOST dangerous arena area. I didn’t realize Memphis had gotten dangerous.

In recent years, some won’t even go into DC at all because of the crime.

I live close to DC and am included in that group.

[Stingray51]

It’s yards away from the FBI HQ. A president who cared would put the FBI on street crime duty in the surrounding area. DC is a federal enclave so I am pretty sure there would be a legal basis for that.

[BipolarBob]

Yeah, smoking crack cocaine with the mayor. Those were the good old days. Back then when you bought a politician, he stayed bought. Not like now.

Contact the Washington Capital Chain Link Fence Company. They know how to build riot walls.
