Stone Planning and The Rooney Sports and Entertainment Group have been hired by the Washington Convention and Sports Authority (“Events DC”) to complete a potential multi-year engagement for a market analysis and sales/booking strategy for the new Entertainment and Sports Arena and Gateway DC. The ESA will open in late 2018 and will include the NBA Washington Wizards’ practice facility and a 4,200-seat multipurpose arena that will serve as the home of the WNBA Washington Mystics. Gateway DC is a unique open-air and covered pavilion used by festivals, concerts, farmers’ markets, and other events.
