[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone point to me where people will park at this new arena?

Potomac Yards will bring more cars on game day relative to the CapitalOne arena today. Folks coming from MoCo and PG and upper NW will drive instead of taking Metro or Uber/Lyft.

This new arena will be more car-dependent. And I don't see any renderings for parking garages or other parking infrastructure. There will not be parking under the arena for the general public, as that's a massive security risk.

Make it make sense.

See renderings here: https://www.washingtonian.com/2023/12/13/a-first-look-at-the-capitals-and-wizards-new-arena-in-virginia/

I see zero parking. There will be some adjacent apartment buildings, but I can't imagine those having 15 levels of underground parking for residents and arena visitors/workers.

This plan is nonsensical. Feels like Leonsis is trying to shake down the District.[/quote]
