Petition updateSTOP THE ARENA AT POTOMAC YARDDon't let Mayor Justin Wilson (D) sell Alexandria to a billionaire sports team owner
Stop the Arena at Potomac YardAlexandria, VA, United States
Dec 30, 2023

We need your support. We need to stop the VA General Assembly from passing legislation to establish a sports and entertainment authority to issue bonds worth more than a billion dollars (backed by taxpyers) to lure a billionaire and his sports teams to Alexandria.

"The version of the report (about the Alexandria sports arena) that I saw contained financial estimates of the costs and revenues not just for the
arena but for other elements of the development overa 40-year time horizon. That is, the study creates the illusion of being thorough because it is rich in details about financial performance into the 2060s. But this
really is an illusion."

Dr. Roger Noll, Stanford economist
