Capitals leave Washington after more than 26 years for Virginia, according to Scott Abraham.
Anchored from 1975 to 1997 in Maryland before moving to the capital, the team announces a new amphitheater in Alexandria, Virginia, shared with the NBA's Wizards.
The state vote for an 8-million-square-foot stadium took place yesterday, submitted to the Alexandria Council for approval.
The move would negatively impact Washington, losing the aging Capital One Arena to the NHL and NBA.
This unexpected news eclipses any previous hint of the Capitals' imminent departure from the US capital.
More details to follow.
