(Note: Capital One Arena is an indoor facility)

"We will open Capital One Arena on Monday for LIVE viewing of this Historic event, and to host the Presidential Parade," Trump said in part. "I will join the crowd at Capital One, after my Swearing In."

Capital One Arena seats a maximum of 20,000 people. It's not yet clear how it will be determined who will be allowed into the arena and where people are expected to go if crowds exceed 20,000.

JCCIC recommended that those in town for the inauguration who are unable to attend find other indoor events to watch. The Presidential Inaugural Committee is designating certain places to watch and will provide more information.

It does not appear the National Mall will be one of those designated places, as some fencing there was starting to be dismantled Friday, according to a senior administration official with direct knowledge of the situation, and there are no current plans to broadcast any events on Jumbotrons there.
