Now according to Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravelli the Mayor of D.C has just backed a large project that includes major renovations to Capital One Arena; take a look.
And, on the night news breaks about a press conference announcing the Capitals plan to move to Virginia - Washington DC mayor announces support for $500 million in renovations to their current home Capital One Arena.
The proposed plan would see Capital One Arena get 500 million dollars in upgrades over a period of three years as well as a new lease until 2052.
