One of my predictions for 2024 is that Monumental Sports & Entertainment’s planned arena and campus in Alexandria will be delayed due to political red tape. While the D.C. government and community organizations want to keep the Wizards and Capitals in Chinatown, Mayor Muriel Bowser and the D.C. Council can’t directly control what goes on in Alexandria with their city council and the Va. General Assembly in Richmond.
And yes, there’s help from the Old Dominion.
An organization called “Stop the Potomac Yard Arena” is out, and they have also hosted media events, including yesterday.
