A friend is attending a hockey game there tonight and will be listening to the Commanders game on his phone.
DC came close to "losing" that space when the Governor of Virginia wanted to build a place for the Wizards and Caps to play in Alexandria. Fortunately, public opposition won out. But there have been all sorts of problems with the venue, including a severe noise annoyance problem caused by a street band. My guess is that security won't allow them to play on Monday.
