Thousands of people were seen outside the arena on Monday morning, hoping to get inside. WASHINGTON — Dozens of bags were seen outside Capital One Arena on Monday ahead of President Donald Trump's inauguration.

The streets surrounding Capital One Arena at Washington DC were littered with designer handbags as purses were among the items banned from the building for inauguration festivities on Monday — with some attendees opting to part ways with the expensive totes rather than give up a seat at the festivities.

As many gather at Capital One Arena for Trump's inauguration, expensive items like Louis Vuitton bags have been dumped on the sidewalk in order to enter the event.
