Washington/Maryland Commandos

edit

Does anyone know if the Washington/Maryland Commandos of the Arena Football League played at this arena? JetsLuvver 03:45, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

This should probably be moved to US Airways Arena. No periods. RingMaruf 01:30, 28 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

Requested Move

edit

This article should be moved to Capital Centre. That was the name of the building both when it opened and when it closed, and for the vast majority of its history. Plus, this way we can avoid confusion with US Airways Center in Phoenix. BoojiBoy 20:19, 4 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Support

  1. Support. Stadiums should always be known by their current name. If the stadium is gone, then by its last name. With the arguments BoojiBoy made above, there is no doubt. -newkai | talk | contribs 10:50, 6 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
This article has been renamed as the result of a move request.

Landover or Largo?

edit

Many internet references mention a Capital Center in Largo, Maryland, which hosted a number of famous rock concerts. There does not appear to be a wikipedia article for the venue in Largo. This article is for Capital Centre in Landover, Maryland. Could anyone please clarify why there were two venues of the same name in the same state? Does some of the information in this article actually relate to the venue in Largo? Edelmand (talk) 13:01, 5 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Parking Sections

edit

I attended many events at the Cap Centre in the 70s & 80s, & I recall the parking lot being divided into 4 sections with patriotic-symbol names. I'm fairly sure one was the Liberty Bell section, but for the life of me, I can't remember the other 3 right now. Can anyone else remember them?--Funhistory (talk) 00:15, 6 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Famous Musicians

edit

It seems ridiculous to list a paragraph of performers. Just about every major act from the 1970s & 1980s performed there! I can understand listing events released officially on video such as the 2 by Kiss (which I attended, by the way), but I'd like to suggest deleting the other list of names.--Funhistory (talk) 04:31, 24 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

I disagree..the Capitol Center was a somewhat prestigious venue as only successful bands could fill a place that big..more relevant concert venues like Carnegie Hall and the Met do the same thing in order to establish the quality of the entertainment showcased there...The list of major acts that didn`t play there would be much longer than that did including the Rolling Stones..Paul McCartney..Ringo Starr..Bob Dylan and The Band did but I didn`t see it in the artice...2600:1702:2340:9470:555C:1F:ACFE:795B (talk) 22:26, 14 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

The article mentions Judas Priest with special guests Dokken, When in fact the special guest was Iron Maiden. I Was there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ralph241 (talkcontribs) 03:47, 12 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Date of closing correction

edit

The article states that the venue closed in 1997. Although the Washington DC professional sports teams started playing at the MCI Center once it opened in 1997, The Capital Centre remained open for concerts and other events past that date. Not sure of the exact cloing date, but it was open for Grease on Ice in December 1998.
