Built to transition seamlessly between NHL and NBA games, concerts and family entertainment, The Halo at Capital One Arena reimagines how fans experience live events. With multiple distinct culinary concepts, flexible seating and club options, concierge-led service and spaces designed to evolve over time, The Halo represents the next chapter in MSE’s vision for the future of live experiences and one that will be recognised and saluted industry-wide.
Jim Van Stone, President of Business Operations and Chief Commercial Officer of MSE, said:
“The Halo will completely change how fans think about the arena experience. We designed this space for how fans actually want to experience events today—whether that’s watching a Capitals game, a Wizards matchup, or a sold-out concert. This isn’t just about luxury; it’s about flexibility, comfort and choice. We’re creating something that has never existed before in an arena, and we’re doing it in a way that reflects the energy, culture and momentum of Washington, D.C.”
With endless options and curated luxury, each visit to The Halo is the ultimate build-your-own nightly hospitality experience, with select tickets planned to start at under $100.
Unique experiences in The Halo will include:
The Halo is a cornerstone of MSE’s $800+ million transformation of Capital One Arena, a project at the heart of broader efforts to revitalise downtown Washington, D.C., in partnership with the District, and showcase the city as a global hub for sports and entertainment. Alongside The Halo, the redesigned arena will introduce a selection of experiences that bring together innovation, hospitality and social connection in the nation’s capital.
This summer, MSE will unveil the full scope of the Capital One Arena transformation, including additional new seating experiences, fan amenities, technology enhancements and hospitality offerings across all levels of the building—ensuring the future arena experience is defined by access, comfort and innovation for everyone.
Additional future offerings will introduce new ways for fans and businesses of all sizes to experience the arena—from intimate, all-inclusive private spaces for groups of 4, 8 or 16 guests, to a fully reimagined club seating experience designed for individual fans seeking elevated comfort, flexibility and access without a traditional suite commitment.

The world-class project team delivering the new Capital One Arena includes Clark Construction, Gensler and CAA ICON.
