I wonder what the projected incremental revenue to the state and localities


My guess is that the vast majority of fans are local commuters that go home after the game. I wonder how many even dine around the arena. You probably get a few weekenders from Philadelphia or NJ and many of them probably already stay in Virginia. Is this about business taxes? Building out shopping and residential around the complex? But is that incremental people, or people that would have lived elsewhere in the state? Moving will probably piss off as many residents of Alexandria as you will make happy elsewhere. If I were a Virginia legislator I would be very skeptical about spending any money at all.
