I've gone from 90-10 certain this would happen to.... 55-45. Monumental has too much money to lose by not getting this across the finish line. If the Virginia deal goes down in flames, I'm not certain is the best idea for DC to play super hard ball here. Ted and Monumental team could still wait on a less generous Virginia package and move.
Has anyone seen a good article about the difference in economic impact of keeping the Wizards and Caps versus getting the Commanders into DC? Prestige wise, I think NFL is clearly bigger than Wizards and Caps. But economic impact wise I have to think 90-100 Caps and Wizards games are more important than 10-12 Commanders games. And even if the Commanders new stadium attracted a Super Bowl or other huge event, DC still gets that economic impact.
