Talks on luring NHL's Capitals and NBA's Wizards to Virginia are over, city of Alexandria says

Negotiations aimed at luring the NHL’s Washington Capitals and the NBA’s Washington Wizards to northern Virginia have “ended,” and the proposal to create a development district with a new arena for the teams "will not move forward,” the city of Alexandria said Wednesday. The move is a blow for Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, who announced months ago with fanfare the outlines of a proposal negotiated with the teams' parent company to bring them across the Potomac River. “This should have been our deal and our opportunity,” Youngkin said.
