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.
