Washington Wizards & Capitals are moving to Northern Virginia in 2028 but Washington gotta try & stop it
2 miles from where I live in Alexandria.
I lived in Alexandria for 10 years, I used to go to games when the stadium was in Landover, MD (awful for a major sports stadium). Potomac Yard didn't even exist then. I really like the stadium downtown, that seems like a much better location for fans. I have seen a few events at the current venue. You walk out of the stadium and there are restaurants, bars, you are right downtown in the shopping district. It is great.
Maybe I am partial as that is how the (Boston) Garden has always been, right downtown. I am very familiar with that area in Alexandria and I don't think it will be that great of a place for a stadium. There is the potential for more parking but it won't be easy to drive there at rush hour. There is one Metro stop there now but downtown there are 3 or 4 stops within walking distance of the current stadium.
They won't consult me, I am sure, but I would recommend to stay in downtown DC. Will they have to rename the team to the Virginia Wizards? That sounds kind of KKK'ish.
