    Getting out of the parking garage after a night game took 45 minutes. The garage closes 1 hour after the game so you can't go eat and come back later. Take Metro!

    Verizon Center has been the Georgetown men's basketball team's home court since 1997. Remember to wear gray on game day!

    Food is good but be prepared to spend $10+. Views are good from anywhere and the stadium is typically empty.

    Britney Spears is playing a much anticipated Sunday night show. DC gay fans may have a tough choice with Dolly Parton playing the same night!

    The 400s seats are nose bleeds. The 100s are next best to floor seats .

    The BBQ concession by 228 has the RUDEST staff I've encountered in a long while. Avoid unless you want a series of grunts and general ambivalence.

    Eat at Graffiato and valet your car. Cheaper than Verizon Center and easier egress.
