Merchandise Staff in Washington

Local field decisions

What changes in Washington?

Capital One Arena schedules major construction during summer closure periods, including summer 2026, while operating through NBA and NHL seasons. Before staffing merchandise, verify the event is live, then issue the approved construction-safe entrance, stand map, delivery window, restock route, register custody, and inventory closeout for that date. Keep the current construction notice with the sales packet so receiving staff do not route product through a superseded dock or concourse.
