The Greene Turtle to leave Capital One Arena later this year

The Greene Turtle will leave its familiar spot inside Capital One Arena.

The local sports bar and grille chain announced Wednesday it accepted a lease buyout to leave Capital One Arena with three years left on its lease at the home of the Washington Wizards and Capitals.

Monumental Sports and Entertainment, which owns the arena and the teams, plans to build a “proprietary business concept” on that side of the building in the Greene Turtle’s place, according to a press release.

Wizards and Capitals fans still have time to enjoy the Greene Turtle during the 2018-19 NBA and NHL seasons.
