[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Fairfax and have partial season tix to the Caps and Wiz and like that I can pay $15 to park ~ a block away and then be home in 35/40 minutes post game. Neither of those things are going to happen in PY so I will give up my tix and maybe go to a couple of games a year, well planned and on a weekend afternoon. [/quote]

From the arena, you can take the bus rapid transit to car parks in Crystal City, Pentagon City, or Old Town. [/quote]

Again, that is adding at least a half hour each way on a commute to the games as compared to Gallery Place. for most fans, it won't be worth the time. For many fans, it won't even be a viable option. I hope Ted assumes that everyone who lives in "Potomac Landing" and Del ray will be season ticket holders, because the existing fan bases won't put up with the additional hassle.[/quote]

I live in upper NW and would gladly spend an extra 30 minutes in traffic rather than subject my family to what Chinatown has become.  [/quote]

lol you people are like Chicken Little.

The area around CapOne was a lot worse when it opened in the 90s and people showed up in droves.

I’m down there pretty frequently on the weekends and it’s fine. It’s the same buskers and homeless that have been down there for the past 15 years.

The big issue is that due to the lack of office workers and foot traffic, one notices the homeless a lot more. So perception becomes a warped sense of reality. But on game days, there are so many people and big crowds that it’s a lot less of an issue. There’s safety in numbers. [/quote]
