Already one of sports’ busiest executives, Monumental Sports & Entertainment ch
airman Ted Leonsis is now asking big questions about the future of the 25-year-o
ld Capital One Arena.
Monumental has held exploratory talks with Virginia government officials about m

巫師隊老闆Ted Leonsis最近跑去和維吉尼亞州政府討論
可能想在那邊蓋新球館
然後把旗下的NBA巫師、NHL首都從華盛頓特區搬過去
但同時也持續和華盛頓討論翻新現有主場Capital One Arena
Capital One Arena目前已啟用25年
The building — owned by Monumental but operating with a ground lease on city-ow
ned land — is now one of the oldest in both the NHL and NBA and falling behind
in new revenue despite renovation projects in 2007 and 2019, as well as nearly $
125 million in total MSE arena investment since 2010. Leonsis could exit the gro
und lease as soon as 2027.
Capital One Arena本身是巫師老闆持有的
但土地是政府的(租約最快2027年結束)
