Games Three and Four of the Stanley Cup Final will be played at Capital One Arena this weekend. In a surprise visit, the Stanley Cup did some sight-seeing around Washington DC today. The oldest championship trophy in sports visited Farragut Square, the National Zoo, and Freedom Plaza.
And a bunch of you got photos.
First, the Cup made a stop in Farragut Square. Dozens of fans stopped by to pay their respects to the coveted trophy.
That's the Stanley Cup* in Farragut Square
(*Probably not the real one)
