And, on the night news breaks about a press conference announcing the Capitals plan to move to Virginia - Washington DC mayor announces support for $500 million in renovations to their current home Capital One Arena.

Capitals Fans Not Happy About Potential Move

When the news broke about a potential move, Capitals fans were not all that pleased, as they had one of their most supported teams taken away.
