Ne pas utiliser le titre de l’article pour cet article car il ne mentionne pas les Caps, mais une grande partie de l’article se concentre sur l’avenir des Caps et de Capitol One Arena.

Can’t read the article because it’s paywalled but I don’t like the idea of that 🙁
Disgusting. Ted should be shamed out of this as heavily as possible by local media
Capitol One Arena is owned by Monumental Sports and the lease with the city could expire as soon as 2027. Apparently Monumental/Leonsis wants the city to help pay for some upgrades to the building including the HVAC system and ice cooling equipment.
Unless Monumental expects to get a huge public money handout from Virginia to build a new arena, I don’t understand how the economics of building an entirely new arena makes sense over repairs to the existing one.
I like the current location but Arlington would be a few minutes closer. I’m intrigued. Apparently the land deal Leonsis has for his Arena is shitty

What’s the point of changing the name to Monumental if you are moving to NoVA?
Man this would suck as a fan from Baltimore, realistically its not too much further but it being right in the city is so much more convenient
I don’t think the district government would stand for that.
The post title leaves out a lot of context. I’d encourage everyone to read the full article.
Despicable!
Ted is on one this week. Allowing Qataris to buy into Monumental and now this shit
If so even more of a reason to bring a team to baltimore
Fuck that!
They caps would probably turn into the redskins. In the suburbs and in the toilet. Plus pentagon city is a shit hole. Hope it doesn’t happen.
Ted can pay for his own improvements or better yet the city or a bank could loan him the money. No handouts for a privately owned arena housing a rich persons toys.
Sure. Because why keep the team playing in the middle of the city in an area that’s super easy to get to via public transit when we could move it to a suburb without all that 😤
Oh no no no no no.
Move it to Virginia and say goodbye to a big share of your Maryland STHs. No one is crossing any of those bridges during rush hour on a regular basis.
Well that would fucking suck
