This is the season

August is not a Mystics preview. It’s the stretch. Entertainment and Sports Arena in Congress Heights is where that actually happens — a neighborhood building, not a Gallery Place overflow night.

We’ll stay on public standings and home dates. No invented playoff math.

If you already know the South Capitol parking lot, you don’t need a travel piece. You need the next tip time and whether the night is worth it.
