A couple of months ago, it came to light that the owner of the Washington Capitals, Ted Leonsis wanted to leave Capital One Arena in Washington and move the team to a brand new building. Not only that, but the proposed arena would be built in nearby Alexandria, Virginia, although the team would remain the Washington Capitals. Leonsis and his ownership group wanted public bonds from the Virginia State Senate to back the construction, and his proposal went before the senate today. It was not received well. In fact, the chair of the Senate's Finance & Appropriations Committee refused to even put the bill on the docket.
