Monumental Sports Entertainment announced plans for a nearly 14,000-square foot live-event theater and gaming center in Washington D.C. focused on esports.

Named District E Powered by Ticketmaster, the venue already is under development and is expected to open this fall. It will be located adjacent to Capital One Arena, home of the NBA's Wizards and the NHL's Capitals, on a space previously occupied by two restaurants at the Gallery Place mall.

The company's announcement said the goal is for "a 365-day-a-year, series of immersive experiences in esports, music, event programming, and community events - along with pre- and post-event activations for fans attending Capitals and Wizards games or events.
