It's going to be in the same sad limbo Nassau was when the Islanders announced their move to Brooklyn - minus the happy ending of a new arena 5 years later. 

At the moment, unless my mood changes drastically, I don't even want to go to any of the remaining games this season, let alone renew. 

 
I would believe that except for the fact .... why wouldn't some of those events just go over to NoVa? Still near a population center and a lot more premium seating.

DC's problem is I think there will be a guaranteed massive drop off at Cap One. But DC will still need a major indoor arena, meaning it will survive in some sort of purgatory.

DC would have been better off with the Caps and Wizards moving to Richmond or somewere like San Antonio. They're in the suburbs. There is no "Go get another pro sports team!" option.
