The franchise bounced back in the early 2000s, built around the core of Gilbert Arenas, Antawn Jamison and Caron Butler.
Five-consecutive postseason appearances highlighted the Bullets’ 80s. Behind an MVP performance from Unseld, Washington defeated Seattle in a decisive Game 7 to clinch the title. Led by Hall of Famers Earl Monroe and Wes Unseld (and later Elvin Hayes), the Bullets went to the playoffs 12 seasons in a row, including four trips to the Finals and a championship in 1978. After earning two Playoff appearances in their first five seasons in Baltimore, the team started a formidable run of postseason success starting in the 1968–69 season. Known earlier as the Packers, Zephyrs and Bullets, the franchise changed its name to the Wizards 25 years ago in 1997. After a decade as the Verizon Center, the venue became Capital One Arena in 2017.įounded in 1961, the franchise has called Chicago, Baltimore, Landover, Md. The arena opened in 1997 as the MCI Center and became home to the first indoor high-definition LED scoreboard a decade later.
Home to the Wizards and NHL’s Washington Capitals, the recently renovated arena features new-age seating, sound systems, interactive fan experiences and more – not to mention the ever-growing list of innovative food and beverage options throughout the venue. The Washington Wizards are back for another season at Capital One Arena, located in the heart of the city's vibrant Chinatown neighborhood.
