Step 1) Take the DC deal and get DC to put a huge security presence on game days in the arena area and metro. Say it was a mistake to move.

Step 2) Bring back the team name to the iconic Bullets. From an era and history that the team was well run and good.

I don’t know why Virginia would even want the teams. When you look in the rafters of the current arena it’s practically barren of meaningful franchise accomplishments. 1 half century old nba championship of a team with a different name and 1 Stanley cup in 50 years. Then the hilarious Mystics attendance leader banner. When number 8 retires in the immediate future there is zero reason to waste time on these teams that have boring names and poor loyalty. There is nothing interesting about the new project. It looks sterile and aesthetically boring while being hilariously right next to the Reagan National jet takeoff impact zone.

Total joke.[/quote]

The Caps have been sold out for basically the last 15 years. The Wizards draw incredibly well for how putrid they have been since 1980.

Fans will come if you put a winning product on the floor.[/quote]

Those attendance numbers will not carryover to PY for either the Caps or the Wizards.

Attendance is down for the Caps.  Their ticket sales people are pulling all sorts of gimmicks to entice customers.[/quote]

It might carryover if they're able to change the experience. The Nationals were terrible when they moved to the district, but it was so fun to take kids to a brand new ballpark with playgrounds and misters and fun food, that the team didn't really matter much. They could build an experiential arena with lots of outdoor music and other features that would make it worth the trip.[/quote]

Oh lord, please no outdoor music.  That will drive people away.[/quote]
