The plan, expected to be unveiled at a news conference with Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin on Wednesday morning in Alexandria, would be for the two teams to move to a massive new development in Alexandria's Potomac Yard neighborhood, sources said. Virginia State lawmakers voted on Monday to approve the arena project in Northern Virginia, the Washington Post reported. A final vote of the state's full general assembly is needed to pass the project that would create an 8,000-square foot campus site in Alexandria. ABC7 in Virginia reported that the teams could break ground by 2025 and begin playing by 2028. The Wizards and Capital have been playing in Capital One Arena in downtown Washington, D.C., since 1997 and will continue to do so until a proposed new arena complex could be constructed sometime in the coming years. Leonsis and D.C. officials had been discussing the city's possible contributions to arena renovations -- with Leonsis seeking $600 million in public monies. City officials have said they want to work with Leonsis to keep the teams in the Chinatown area of the city's downtown. Leonsis could exit the Capital One Arena lease in 2027. 華盛頓巫師和華盛頓首都（冰球隊）老闆Ted Leonsis準備把球隊搬家到維吉尼亞州北部 擬建的新競技和綜合體育場和娛樂區 據《華盛頓郵報》報道，維吉尼亞州立法者週一投票批准了維吉尼亞州北部的體育場計畫 。需要州全體大會的最終投票才能通過該項目 該項目將在Alexandria弄一個達到8,000平方英尺的場地 維吉尼亞州 ABC7 報道稱，可能會在2025年動工，並在 2028 年開始比賽。 華盛頓DC的官員也在跟Leonsis商討要把球隊留在華盛頓DC裡面，並討論翻修華盛頓DC 的Capital One Arena，但Leonsis希望可以得到6億美金的公共基金去翻修。 Leonsis可能會在2027年不再續租Capital One Arena -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 36.231.64.206 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/NBA/M.1702431211.A.084.html
