About Monumental Sports & Entertainment MSE is one of the largest integrated sports and entertainment companies in the country with one of the most diverse partnership groups in all of sports. MSE owns and operates seven major and minor sports teams:

• 2018 NHL Stanley Cup Champion Washington Capitals
• NBAs Washington Wizards
• WNBAs 2019 Championship Washington Mystics
• NBA G Leagues Capital City Go-Go

In September 2022, MSE acquired the regional sports network then-called NBC Sports Washington and newly rebranded as Monumental Sports Network. Monumental Sports Network now holds the exclusive local television media rights to Capitals, Wizards, and Mystics games. The network is both a linear channel and a digital operation. Prior to acquiring the linear platform, the digital platform was launched by MSE in 2016 as the first-of-its-kind regional sports network for digital mobile and streaming platforms. Those linear and digital platforms are now combined and join Caps Radio, Wizards Radio, MSE Outdoor, and Monumental Productions for a full suite of six media enterprises.

In addition to Capital One Arena - a venue which hosts 3M visitors across over 250 events annually - MSE also manages:

• MedStar Capitals Iceplex training facility for the Capitals
• MedStar Health Performance Center training facility for the Wizards, Mystics, and Go-Go
• EagleBank Arena, a 12,000 live event venue on George Mason Universitys campus

In July 2020, MSE partnered with William Hill (subsequently acquired by Caesars Entertainment) to open the first ever in-arena sportsbook in North America, now called Caesars Sportsbook. MSE opened District E, powered by Ticketmaster, in the spring of 2023, a flagship esports and entertainment venue. This 14,000-square-foot live-event theater offers a 365-day-a-year series of immersive experiences in esports, music, culinary excellence, event programming, and community events.
