Like the Washington Commanders, the Washington Wizards and Washington Capitals could eventually play their games outside of the nation’s capital.

The proposal marks what Youngkin called a new “visionary sports and entertainment venue” in northern Virginia. Per The Washington Post, the proposed new construction would cost $2 billion and include a new arena to be shared by the two teams, a 3,000-seat music venue, hotels, and headquarters for Monumental.
