The Verizon Center
The Verizon Center, the home court of the Georgetown Hoyas, has a special handicapped seating area on the concourse level. The University's Office of Sports Promotions can also arrange for visually-impaired students with season tickets to sit in the front part of the student section at Georgetown basketball games. If you are planning to go to a game at the Verizon Center and would like to take advantage of either the handicapped seating area or front-section seating, call Disability Support Services that will then make arrangements with the Office of Sports Promotions.

The Verizon Center is a sports and entertainment arena in Washington, D.C., USA, named after telecommunications sponsor Verizon Communications. The name of the arena was previously MCI Center, but when MCI was acquired by Verizon, the name was changed to "Verizon Center" effective March 5, 2006. The arena has been nicknamed the "Phone Booth" because of its association with telecommunications companies. The arena is home to the Washington Capitals of the NHL, Washington Wizards of the NBA, Georgetown University men's basketball: Hoyas, and Washington Mystics of the WNBA.
Two notable fan fixtures at Washington Capitals games at Verizon since the late '90s include Goat and The Horn Guy. "Goat," aka William Stilwell, sits in Section 105 and loudly stomps and starts cheers for the team, with his loud voice that The Washington Post once called "the loudest voice and stompiest stomp on F Street." "The Horn Guy," aka Sam Wolk, blows out three blasts on a horn to which the arena responds "Let's Go Caps!," a chant that can be heard during radio and TV broadcasts, home and away.
