Looking for a place to go and cheer for the home team? TravelSkoot brings you our favorite places to play and watch sports in Washington, DC.
What goes around, comes around - and ever since the Washington Senators left town in 1960, DC fans have been waiting for another team to come around that they could call their own. In 2005, America's capitol city finally got a new team, the Nationals. Since then, DC baseball fans, young and old, have flocked to their new hometown team. In 2008, the Nationals got a new home - Nationals Park. The state of the art stadium beside the Anacostia River seats 41,000, with all the modern luxury amenities, a bevy of food options, and boasts amazing sight lines from every seat.

Your Redskins experience starts in the parking lot - tailgating is a time honored tradition, and the lots open for barbecuing and beers 4 hours prior to kickoff. Redskin football has a historic past - boasting 3 Super Bowl championships. You'll find plenty of Red and Gold in the stands, on jerseys, jackets, banners and even painted on faces and… other body parts too. Even if you're not a Skins fan, its still fun to join in and sing along to "Hail to the Redskins." If you're lucky enough to snag seats on the club level be sure to visit the Club Macanudo Cigar Bar, where you can enjoy fine cigars, food and beverages during the game.

The Verizon Center is one of America's busiest sports arenas - and centrally located in the Chinatown section of Washington DC. Here you can buy tickets to concerts, family shows, and sporting tournaments. But the arena's main identity is being the home court of the NBA's Washington Wizards, the NHL's Washington Capitals, the WNBA's Mystics, and the Georgetown Hoya's basketball team. If you want to splurge - choose from 108 luxury suites to watch the game in style. But wherever you sit, you're sure to have a great view of the game - and be sure to sample the wide variety of concessions from Pizza, Donuts and Pretzels, to Crab Cakes and Chinese Food!

Lucky Strike! It's a bowling alley! If it weren't for the balls barreling down the lanes and smashing into the pins, you might think you were in a trendy nightclub or discotheque. But this is bowling, and even with the party dresses and gelled haircuts, a strike is still worth ten points. The snack bar here is called the Lounge - but the greasy burger has been replaced with Ahi on a stick. Lucky Strike gives you bowling the way it's supposed to be… just good old fashioned fun. They're just adding a little bit of class.

Since 1954, fans of our National Pastime have flocked to Baltimore for Orioles games. Visit the intimate and retro-styled Camden yards that gave way to a nationwide shift away from the giant super stadiums of the 70s and 80s. This new sentimentality for old time baseball coincided perfectly with Cal Ripken Jr.'s quest to break Lou Gehrig's record of 2,130 games - and Camden Yards' finest moment. Even if you're not in town during the season, tours of the park are available from October through November, which take you to the suite level, the press booths, and even into the Orioles dugout.
