Top 3 cons of Capitals moving to Virginia
#1 DC folks aren’t happy
When a team leaves a city, it hurts. Whether it’s five miles down the road or what teams like the Washington Senators did in 1971, bolting for Texas to become the Rangers.
Even though the new location is around three or five miles from Capital One Arena, fans are acting like the team is moving to Buffalo or Quebec. Fans are mad at somebody whether it’s the mayor or the owner.
“No they have to stay here. They have to,” said one of the fans to Fox 5 DC that just left last night’s Wizards game at Capital One Arena who even went on to call them the Alexandria Wizards.
Another fan in the video said, “I’m very upset about that. I’m really irritated and I’m tired of these owners trying to take everything out of DC and taking it way down the street to Virginia because it’s really bad for the people that live in Maryland and right here in DC.”

While the Caps and Wizards may be leaving Capital One Arena, the building on 7th and F Street won’t close it’s doors completely. They still plan on hosting concerts as well as Georgetown Men’s Basketball and Mystics WNBA games.
