The D.C. Council's unanimous vote for a $515 million renovation plan for Capital One Arena solidifies the future of the Wizards and Capitals in D.C., ending any relocation discussions with Monumental Sports.
Monumental Sports CEO Ted Leonsis stated on X, 'This investment reaffirms our commitment to Washington, D.C., ensuring that the Wizards and Capitals remain at the heart of the community.'
The renovations will include updated concourses and a new practice facility for the Wizards, signaling a modernization effort to compete with other NBA teams, despite recent facility investments.
The D.C. government's purchase of the arena is a significant move, ensuring that the facility remains a central hub for sports and entertainment in Chinatown.
