October 1, 2019 WNBA Finals Game 2! Let’s Go Mystics!

This is a nice arena, now the aren around the arena is shaky at best. I will defintely go back to more events if they have them. Was able to see a boxing match and enjoyed it truly

I went for the first time and saw the game against the Sun. I had a really good time. The arena is conveniently located and there's probably not a bad seat in the place. It's small so you get a great view no matter your seat. As far as concessions, they're a pro sports team. If you've been to a Nats game, expect similar pricing but less options (again, it's a small arena). I don't know what took me so long, but I will definitely be back for another event.

Great wnba fan experience everyone is friendly and since it's a smaller venue wherever you sit you will get a good view of the court.

Great arena size that will keep the building packed. Perfect for the Mystics. Not necessarily a fan of the residential units so close by as it makes navigating the grounds a bit difficult, but the space is perfect for our Mystics.
For some reason, tonight, 7/29/25, the arena felt like it had zero air. Fans were fanning themselves, and folks had towels and paper towels ready for use!.
Either way, I would love a better Team Store option and more Mystics gear. Seems they fell short on the gear.

I enjoyed my experience at CareFirst Arena for the Mystics vs. Liberty game! From the moment we entered—greeted by ticket takers, seat escorts, and vibrant signage—to our departure, the service was on par. The restrooms were well-stocked and maintained, adding to the overall positive experience.

For improvements, I recommend informing ticket holders in advance if both mascots will be present. My sister was excited to see Big Ellie, but unfortunately, Ellie wasn’t there. Additionally, installing a rain awning for those waiting outside for rideshares would be helpful. The entrance area is small and can become congested during rainy weather when people are searching for their rides.

So confused by all the great reviews - those folks must not have parked on site in the garage. Took us 40 minutes to get into the complex and park, missed half the first quarter, and we've been sitting in the parking garage trying to get out for half an hour already with not a single inch of movement. Love love love coming to WNBA games but this location would REALLY make me think twice. They are absolutely not set up at all to handle large crowds. Chaos.

It was a really really great experience here. I'm so glad we came to enjoy one of the Mystics Game. Will be back for sure.

Mystics games here are so fun! Plus lines moved quickly and the grab and go sections are awesome

Been attending Mystics games since 2018 when they were in Capital One Arena and the games were always a good time. The ESA arena is a much better experience outside of the things there are to do outside of the arena. The best part for me is, especially on the first level, there is no bad seat. You can not only see all the action, hear players/coaches, and feel the emotions of the game. Often players from both sides will engage with fans high fiving, signing posters, and even a short talk after the game. When it comes to parking there are multiple parking garages, including one that is attached to the building. There is also street parking that you can pay for or parking lots around the arena. The Congress Heights station is a five min walk to the arena as well.

Attended a Mystics game for the first time at the ESA. We parked in the parking garage which was down the hill and around the corner from the arena. Not a bad walk for me with a bum knee. Access to the arena was easy. Concessions and restrooms readily available. Clean and safe environment!! We had great seats. Actually all seats look like a great view. Great crowd energy!! Mystics won!! Wonderful experience!!
