Unless privately funded, I cant imagine the state of Va. willing to spend big money for a new arena for Washington on the very northern tip of the state where most of of the state would not be well served.
The position of the DC AG is that Monumental is contractually obligated to play at Capitol One Arena until 2047. The arena received $50 million in publiclly financed renovations in 2007 and Monumental agreed to extend their lease until 2047. Monumental is claiming they can pay off the public bonds and be released from their lease. The arena itself is owned by Monumental but the ground it is sited on is owned by the District.
Idk, still see this ending up in NOVA where & how planned per original announcement which was just a month or 2 ago. As another stated, the owner can do whatever the heck they wish ultimately. I'd dig seeing it remain in DC myself, but as DG said.., where in DC?
This isn’t very hard to think through. Either give CapitalOne a massive exterior upgrade, or build a new arena in Navy Yard or in conjunction with the new RFK stadium. Boom, solved!
Hey man can you make a video on the new renderings of the mixed used development surrounding the Philadelphia sports complex set to be completed in 2028 Im actually a resident of the city and it seems like the master plan is a district and entertainment life after the sixers depart in 2031
For the first time I'm actually on the side of the public. I been to Washington D.C nothing is wrong with Capitol One Arena. Nothing. Downtown location easy for everyone to get too. Great for concerts and events. Just win some games. Also the Washington Redskins might move back to D.C. keep the D.C teams in D.C
Renovate the exterior. They've already done with the interior, the exterior becomes irrelevant to the surrounding area. Upgrade access to Metro for better public transportation link to the arena, has small roof canopy over the sidewalks for fans.

See you in court lmao
In DC?! ROFLMAO, the NHL/NBA owners can do whatever they want–as long as they contribute to the Democratic party

Now I heard that Tightwad Ted Leonsis is talking to the Governor of Maryland about a new arena.

Change the team’s name to the Virginia Squires like the ABA team.

DC is a dying city
The word ‘renovation’ was used 10 times in a 9 minute video. This channel needs to have its name changed to the renovation station.
Wizard and cap owner know Virginia don’t move in 2047.
Please explain how it is one of the worst arenas in North America? Maybe because next to the Chinatown neighborhood?
The hell is wrong with DC pro sports? Yikes.

Capital One Arena isn't a bottom tier arena. Q
Anyone saying that, hasn't been. It's one of the nicest NHL/NBA arenas I have been to.
What is so bad about this arena??? DG talks about it like its Oakland Coliseum
If the owner of the Capitals and Wizards don't pay up for the new arena in DC they'll move to Kansas City just like that
As they should
they should go to Baltimore in the meantime

Maybe I’m tripping but I don’t see anything wrong with this arena. It’s on par with Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse, which you praise all the time
