A Northern Virginia sports arena that would move the Washington Capitals and Wizards out of downtown D.C. would get the largest-ever public aid for a job of its kind, an approximated $1.35 billion in state and regional funds, if it moves forward.
To develop the $2.2 billion task, Virginia would require to develop a sports and home entertainment authority that would provide 2 bond offerings and would require to contribute an extra $300 million from existing city and state funds, according to a 37-page research study produced by financial investment bank JPMorgan for the state, a copy of which was gotten by The Washington Post.
The strategy would need considerable financial investment from the groups’ ownership group, Monumental Sports & & Entertainment, which would supply an overall of $403 million in advance and sign a 40-year lease with lease start at $29.5 million each year and increasing to $34.5 million, according to the research study. That would make the business’s overall contribution $819 million.
The net expense to taxpayers would eventually reach an approximated $1.35 billion, according to the research study. That consists of $1.15 billion straight for the task– more than any similar center on record, according to J.C. Bradbury, a Kennesaw State economics teacher who studies sports centers and examined the research study for The Post.
