Wizards owner Ted Leonsis and Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin have announced plans for a multi-billion dollar sports and entertainment complex in Alexandria, Virginia, which would become the new home for the Wizards and the Washington Capitals, the city's NHL franchise.
Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser has proposed a $500 million financing plan for the renovation and modernization of the Capital One Arena, the current home of the Wizards and Capitals, in an attempt to keep the teams in D.C.
