Ghost Town Center

And for this last (or first) stop on the reimagined Blue Line: the old Capital Centre, a popular concert venue and the former home of the Capitals, Bullets, and Hoyas. Along with Stadium Armory, this stop should serve as a sort of “Ghost of Sports Complexes Past.” In its heyday, Capital Centre was the home of two championship basketball teams. In 1978, the Washington Bullets (now Wizards) took home their first – and, to this point, only – NBA championship. Six years later, Patrick Ewing and Coach John Thompson led the Georgetown Hoyas to the 1984 NCAA national championship. After closing in 2002, however, the Capital Centre was imploded and the site is now occupied by a Foot Locker and a Panda Express.
