The Capitals may soon be playing at the Capital One Center or the Capital 1 Arena.

The bank recently registered dozens of domain name registrations that strongly suggest that it will having naming rights to the Verizon Center when they come up for grabs in 2018, as reported by Domain Name Wire.

MCI struck the original agreement in the 1990’s, and the arena opened in 1997 as the MCI Center. After the telecom company was purchased by Verizon, it became the Verizon Center in 2006.

The possibility of a name change for the Gallery Place arena—which plays host to the Wizards, Mystics (though not for long), the Washington Valor, and mega concerts, in addition to the Caps—has been rumored for years. Sources told the Washington Business Journal in 2015 that Monumental Sports was hoping to get $7 million per year and a deal that lasted between 10-15 years.

Capital One recently registered more than 50 domain names that suggest it will soon hold naming rights to a major arena, many of which reference D.C. Here’s a handful, per Domain Name Wire:

cap1centerdc.com
cap1centerevents.com
cap1centertickets.com
cap1dcarena.com
cap1dccenter.com
caponecenterdc.com

It wouldn’t be the first time that Domain Name Wire’s Andrew Allemann had scooped major arena name changes based on domain registrations. In 2013, for example, he correctly predicted that Levi’s was buying naming rights to a stadium, which later turned out to be for San Francisco’s 49ers.

Meanwhile, given the uncertain future of the RFK site in Southeast, Monumental Sports owner Ted Leonsis isn’t promising that he and his slew of teams will stay put at the Verizon Center, or whatever it is called next.
