Quick Glance: Talks Cease on Bringing Capitals and Wizards to Virginia
- Negotiations to lure the NHL's Washington Capitals and the NBA's Washington Wizards to Northern Virginia have officially ended, as the proposal to create a development district with a new arena for the teams will not move forward, as announced by the city of Alexandria on Wednesday.
- Virginia's House speaker also confirmed that Ted Leonsis, majority owner of the teams, is no longer considering relocating them from the District of Columbia.

- Governor Youngkin and Leonsis announced in December at a public event that they had reached an understanding on the outlines of a plan calling for a new $2 billion development district with a new arena in Alexandria, just a few miles from where the teams currently play.
