The NBA's Washington Wizards and NHL's Washington Capitals are staying in the District of Columbia. Owner Ted Leonsis and Mayor Muriel Bowser announced the $515 million deal at a news conference Wednesday. The agreement between Monumental Sports & Entertainment and the city came as Alexandria officials said talks for a new arena that would have moved the teams to Virginia had ended. The development was a to blow to Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin. He had hoped to bring the teams across the river as part of a $2 billion proposal he trumped with Leonsis in December.
