D.C. government maintains that Monumental Sports can’t move the Wizards and Capitals until 2047

Monumental Sports & Entertainment is looking to move the Washington Wizards and Capitals to Virginia, though some hiccups are making them consider Maryland as an option as well. The D.C. government on the other hand hopes that Monumental is bidding against itself.

On Friday, Ben Dennis of DC News Now shared a copy of a letter that D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb wrote to Abby Blomstrom, the General Counsel for Monumental Sports & Entertainment. In the letter, Schwalb wrote that the D.C. Government believes that Monumental would be in breach of contract, if it moves in 2028, even if they pay any outstanding debt related to municipal bonds for a 2007 arena renovation.
