    Wizards Want $600 Million In Public Funding To Renovate Capital One Arena
    The Wizards are looking to make major renovations to their arena and want public funding to pay for the majority of the bill.

    Monumental Sports & Entertainment, which owns the Wizards as well as the NHL’s Capitals and WNBA’s Mystics, has asked D.C. for $600MM of public funding to renovate Capital One Arena, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports. That’s about 75% of the funds needed to carry out Monumental’s renovation plan. The remaining $200MM would be covered by Monumental, which is owned by chief executive Ted Leonsis.

    ProTeams demand public money in 99%
    of venues.

    Let the pesants support billionaire owners
    of billion dollar franchises.

      I’d tell them- when you win something we will fund it.

        Give it to them. At lease they'll have something to show for their investment. How much have they pissed away on homeless and illegals without a shred of improvement?
