WASHINGTON, D.C. (June 22, 2026) - As part of the ongoing transformation of Capital One Arena in downtown Washington, D.C., Monumental Sports & Entertainment (MSE) today announced the upcoming debut of Theater Boxes, a new hospitality experience designed to make hosting at live sports and entertainment events feel more personal, effortless, and memorable.

Located within The Halo, a multi-level, next-generation hospitality space slated to debut ahead of the 2027-28 NBA and NHL seasons, Theater Boxes combine dedicated event seating with access to a thoughtfully designed club experience, giving members a comfortable setting to gather over dinner, connect with guests, and experience the energy of the arena together. Available through four- and eight-seat memberships, the concept creates an intimate, right-sized option for client entertainment, executive outings, milestone celebrations, and other meaningful occasions.

The shared club will accommodate up to 96 guests across 24 Theater Boxes, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere with the attentive service of a hosted experience. Premium finishes, bespoke lighting, and refined décor will give the club the character of an intimate lounge and dining space while keeping guests closely connected to the action.

"Some of the most memorable event experiences begin with a smaller group and the opportunity to spend meaningful time together," said Jim Van Stone, President of Business Operations and Chief Commercial Officer at MSE. "Theater Boxes are designed around that idea, pairing the excitement of Capital One Arena with a more personal and thoughtfully hosted environment. From the first welcome to the final buzzer, every element makes it easier for members to focus on their guests and enjoy the moment."

Each membership includes reserved event-view seating and a dedicated dining table within the club, marked with personalized company signage to create a natural home base for hosting. Guests can move easily between their seats and the club throughout the event, allowing conversations to continue without losing their connection to the action.

The Theater Box experience will also include:

Elevated all-inclusive dining, with a curated menu available at every arena event

Premium beer, wine and craft cocktails, prepared and served by dedicated mixologists

Attentive hospitality, supported by professional service staff and an on-call concierge team

Dedicated event seating, offering sweeping views of the action

Personalized hosting space, with a reserved dining table and dedicated signage for each Theater Box

Access to The Halo, a multi-level hospitality space offering curated dining, service, and retail for select ticketholders

One arena parking pass included with each box

Access to Theater Box reserved seating and amenities for all Capital One Arena events

From welcoming important clients to gathering colleagues or celebrating a marquee occasion, Theater Boxes provide a seamless setting where meaningful conversations and memorable live experiences can unfold naturally.

A New Era of Hospitality at Capital One Arena

Theater Boxes are the latest hospitality concept introduced through MSE's $800 million+ transformation of Capital One Arena in partnership with the District of Columbia. The project is reimagining the arena as an industry-leading entertainment and social destination in the heart of downtown Washington.

The new concept adds to the robust slate of new hospitality experiences planned for the reimagined arena including the Blueprint Studios, small group-optimized spaces designed for eight or more, state-of-the-art Innovation Suites createdas business-driven flex spaces, and several additional world-class suite offerings. Together, the revamped spaces provide new pathways for businesses, organizations, families and friends to choose an arena experience tailored to how they want to gather, host and connect.

Beyond new hospitality spaces, fans across every level will experience meaningful upgrades as part of the transformation including:

Entry: More access points, highlighted by a new arrival hall - The Grand Pavilion - with upgraded ticketing and security technology to ease entry.

Travel: Wider concourses and double the number of elevators/escalators, including express options designated for each floor.

Gathering: Multiple new social spaces on every floor for convenient places to connect close to the action.

Concessions: Increased concessions locations, several more kitchens, and a new food hall on the 4th floor concourse

Amenities: Six team stores, a new flagship team store, and increased concourse restrooms

Action: A brand-new scoreboard and large Visibowl™ concourse displays showing the event in real-time

Culture: Works by local artists will turn every level into a living civic landmark with the District Arts Collection.
