The weather was Freezing. I wore Sport coat and light jacket. Brrr! 45 minutes in line!.
If you park underground at the stadium, leave your heavy coats in the vehicle. There was a slight breeze passing the upper level entrance for about 5 seconds going in and going out to elevator and that is all! That is a perk to the $30 lower level parking! 2 pretzels and nacho and Large soda was $35.00! Eat heavy beforehand.
There's plenty of parking nearby so don't feel like you have to park at the Verizon Center. Same goes for food. Eat a snack before you get there and then get a meal after the show on 7th St. or F St.
Green Turtle is next door; Clyde's is around the corner. Just go early because it's crowded. There's also a pizza place called Fuel across the street. Good garlic knots. Of course, you could eat inside.
Ate dinner at Carmines which is about 2 blocks from Verizon Center. Italian, family style dining. Portions are huge. A salad or appitizer and one dish is plenty for 3-4 people. Don't go if only 1 or 2 people unless you want to take home half your meal.

Very pricey so eat b4 you come!
The weather was cold as %^&&. I wore Cap's sweatshirt.

Take Metro
if you drive, arrive early. traffic is very very slow close to game time. very slow!
Get food before you are seated. Spaces are small so you don't want to annoy the others around you!
There is a cheaper parking lot on G St ($20) but it closes pretty quickly after the game,
Lavern
Don't buy discount tickets , you will end up in the top balcony next to the ceiling !
Horrible views. Spend a few $ more and get a comfortable seat in the 200 area seating.

Graffiato's was great for pre-concert dining
