[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As I posted in the other thread, this is about the teams getting leverage so the DC Government will pony up a half billion dollars to renovate a 25 year old arena.

I can say based on texts with people in my friend groups that none of us in DC or MD would go to any games in the future.[/quote]

I agree 100%.  As a frequent attendee at Caps games, I certainly would attend fewer games if the games were held in PY.  The current location is highly convenient for me, whether I drive or take Metro.  The idea of attending a weekday game at PY has zero appeal.

+1 close-in MoCo.  Our jobs are not downtown.

We would drop from a dozen Caps games a year, typically weeknights, to 1-2 weekend games at most.  I am guessing the big $ these days is in the distro of broadcast and streaming rights (Monumental Sports owns the network), entertainment venue, and of course sports books.   A drop in fan attendance might not hurt the bottom line as much going forward.  [/quote]
