Zach Leonsis promoted as Wizards, Capitals near $750M in revenue. September 15, 2026 9:00am Zach Leonsis has been promoted at Monumental Sports & Entertainment, a move that pushes him closer to taking the reins of the sports empire currently run by his father, Ted. As part of a series of executive moves, MSE announced Tuesday that Zach Leonsis will assume the newly created position of president and vice chairman. In that role he will oversee the group's finance, technology, venue and media businesses, adding an operational layer underneath Ted Leonsis and across the parent of the NBA's Washington Wizards and NHL's Washington Capitals. The move comes amid rapid changes in sports ownership, both in Washington D.C. and nationally. Monumental expects to generate "almost $750 million in revenue" in fiscal 2027, Ted Leonsis told employees Tuesday in a letter announcing the changes. He added that he believes the organization can top $1 billion within the next two years, a target the group set for itself back in 2019. In an interview to discuss the new role, Zach Leonsis said the move should help create efficiencies and broader collaboration across Monumental, a D.C.-focused sports platform company that includes the teams, real estate, media, technology and more. He called it a "deliberate change to take a step forward into the future." "My father is still CEO and sets the day-to-day high-level vision and the long-term vision," Leonsis said, "but this is an opportunity [for me] to complement and support him and take on a broader set of responsibilities." Zach Leonsis is one of a number of next-generation owners who have taken significant leadership roles within their family sports businesses. While this has been perhaps most common in the NFL, where a handful of teams have been owned by the same family for roughly a century, it's not unheard of in the NBA. Stan Kroenke's son, Josh, is president of the Denver Nuggets. Micky Arison's son, Nick, is CEO of the Miami Heat. Michael Reinsdorf, son of Jerry Reinsdorf, is president of the Chicago Bulls. Sportico current values the Wizards at $4.78 billion and the Capitals at $2.3 billion. The WNBA's Washington Mystics, also part of MSE's portfolio, are worth $310 million. As part of the executive reshuffle, MSE president of venues Jordan Silberman will take on additional responsibilities underneath Zach Leonsis. Grant Hastings is being elevated to CFO and will also report to Leonsis. Hastings is replacing Steve Miller, who was hired last year and is leaving for personal reasons, according to the release. Miller's hiring last September was notable in that he had public company experience with Warby Parker (NYSE: WRBY) and Monumental's leaders have been outspoken in their desire to run Monumental more "like a pre-IPO company." Zach Leonsis said this week that Hastings' promotion doesn't change that philosophy. "We've always tried to communicate to people that we want to be acting like a pre-IPO company, but not necessarily with the intent to pursue an IPO in the next couple of years," he said. He added that those priorities include cybersecurity, data governance, people and culture policies and more. Governance of the teams will also remain unchanged. Ted Leonsis is the primary governor of the Wizards, Capitals and Mystics. Zach Leonsis will remain the alternate governor of the two basketball teams. Zach Leonsis has spent more than 15 years with Monumental, most recently serving as president of media and new enterprises. He has worked in some capacity with all units in the organization and has taken the lead on corporate development and strategic partnerships, putting him on the frontlines of investments from Jeff Skoll, Arctos and the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), which remains the only direct sovereign investment into a major U.S. sports franchise. He helped build Monumental's media business, including the acquisition of NBC Sports Washington from Comcast. "We have watched many of our peer organizations face ownership turmoil or make decisions driven by short term financial considerations rather than what is best for their teams, their fans and their communities," Ted Leonsis said in his letter to employees. "Our stability and our family ownership allow us to take a different approach."

Monumental Sports & Entertainment announces multi-year partnership with Xonar Technology to bring next-generation security screening to Capital One Arena. * News * August 31, 2026 Capital One Arena will become the first venue in NBA and NHL to deploy Xonar's TruePort(R) security screening technology, supporting the transformed arena's focus on safety, innovation and frictionless fan experience WASHINGTON, D.C. (August 31, 2026) - Monumental Sports & Entertainment (MSE) today announced a multi-year partnership with Xonar Technology Inc. to deploy Xonar's TruePort(R) and TrueScan(TM) security screening systems at Capital One Arena, bringing the latest security technology to the downtown venue. Beginning with the 2026-27 NHL and NBA seasons, MSE plans to deploy TruePort(R) screening units across Capital One Arena's main entrances, marking the first NHL venue and first NBA venue to deploy Xonar technology. Powered by AI and multi-sensor radar technology, TruePort(R) is designed to detect both metallic and non-metallic potential threats while allowing guests to move through screening more naturally and efficiently. The partnership is the latest investment in MSE's $1B+ transformation of Capital One Arena, which is reimagining every part of the fan journey through new entrances, expanded concourses, enhanced amenities and next-generation technology. With millions of guests entering the arena for sporting and live entertainment events each year, the new screening technology is designed to pair enhanced security capabilities with a faster, more seamless arrival experience. "As a venue, our responsibility begins before the game, concert or event starts," said Jordan Silberman, President of Venues at MSE. "Fans should be able to focus on why they came to Capital One Arena, not on the process of getting inside. Xonar will help us make that first moment feel more effortless while giving our security and arena experience teams the confidence and capability to do their jobs at the highest level." Xonar TruePort(R) uses a combination of advanced sensors and AI-powered analysis to help security teams identify a broader range of potential threats than traditional metal-detection technology including 3D printed firearms, ceramic and stainless steel knives, liquid containers and pyrotechnics. Because guests can generally move through screening without stopping to remove everyday personal items, the system is designed to reduce unnecessary interruptions while helping security personnel focus attention where it is needed. MSE will also deploy Xonar's TrueScan(TM), an AI-powered X-ray screening system designed to assist security personnel in identifying prohibited items in bags and other belongings. The technology highlights detected items for security personnel and can be configured to help identify items of particular concern to a venue or event. "Monumental Sports & Entertainment's commitment to creating a best-in-class experience for fans made them the ideal partner for Xonar," said Hans Hufschmid, Chairman and CEO of Xonar Technology Inc. "Bringing Xonar's multi-sensor, AI-powered threat detection technology to Capital One Arena is an important milestone for Xonar and reflects the growing role that innovative security technology can play in enhancing the safety and efficiency of screening across the sports and entertainment industry." The partnership continues MSE's vision for a high-tech, high-touch arena where technology makes the fan experience more seamless, efficient and connected.

Xonar offers two products: TruePort(R), a multi-sensor screening system that uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to assist in distinguishing potential threats from common everyday items, including both metallic and non-metallic objects; and TrueScan(TM), a portable X-ray screening solution that incorporates AI-assisted image analysis. TruePort is designed with privacy in mind and includes integrated cameras that can support optional identity verification to streamline ticketing and access control when enabled by the customer and supported by the deployment configuration. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has designated Xonar TruePort as a Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology under the SAFETY Act.

Monumental Sports donation helps strengthen DMV communities. Capital One Arena furniture finds new purpose through Community Forklift's reuse and community giving programs. As Capital One Arena undergoes renovation, one thing isn't changing: Monumental Sports & Entertainment's commitment to giving back. Rather than sending hundreds of furniture items and appliances to the landfill during ongoing renovations, Monumental partnered with Community Forklift to ensure these materials could continue serving the communities across the DMV. It's a powerful example of how reuse can create ripple effects far beyond a single building project. This spring, Community Forklift received the donation that included 39 stainless steel refrigerators, 145 tables and chairs, and hundreds of barstools from Capital One Arena suites. While the arena prepares for its next chapter, these items are already beginning new lives in schools, nonprofits, and homes throughout the Washington region. "Monumental is doing a phenomenal thing by deciding to put a little bit of extra effort into supporting the local community," said Tom Patzkowski, Community Forklift's Director of Donations. "It's fantastic that while the arena is being refurbished, these materials continue helping the people who live in our community." One donation. Many new beginnings. Community Forklift's mission keeps useful materials in circulation and out of the landfill, and every donation creates new opportunities to strengthen its community. Some of the refrigerators from Monumental's donation have already been distributed through its Community Building Blocks (CBB) program to nonprofit organizations throughout Maryland and Washington, DC. These appliances will help school food pantries safely store fresh food, support nutrition programs, and expand access to meals for students and families. Furniture has also found new homes with educational organizations creating welcoming spaces for students, staff, and visitors. From charter schools preparing new classrooms to elementary schools furnishing gathering areas, these donated materials are helping organizations direct more of their limited budgets toward the people they serve. Other donated items will continue their journey through Community Forklift's reuse warehouse, where affordable prices make quality furniture and appliances accessible to homeowners, renters, artists, contractors, and small businesses throughout the region. One donation can support schools, strengthen nonprofits, provide affordable options for shoppers, assist families in need, and reduce waste, all at the same time. A partnership that multiplies impact. Through this donation from the Capital One Arena renovation, Monumental has demonstrated that thoughtful deconstruction and reuse can be an important part of any major renovation project. A Monumental Sports & Entertainment spokesperson shared the organization's motivation: "We're getting ready for our second round of renovations this summer. We're donating all the suite furniture to nonprofits. It's very important for Monumental to give back. We're excited that they can take the furniture and repurpose it." That commitment aligns perfectly with Community Forklift's mission of finding a new home for reusable materials in its community, and Community Forklift LLC is incredibly grateful to Monumental Sports & Entertainment for choosing the community over disposal and for helping demonstrate what's possible when organizations invest in reuse. Every donation tells a story, and this one will continue for years to come through classrooms, food pantries, nonprofit spaces, homes, and neighborhoods across its region. You can help create the net success story. Every donation has the potential to create a ripple effect throughout its community. Whether it's a single appliance, furniture from a renovation, or surplus building materials, your donation can help support local nonprofits, provide free essentials to neighbors in need through its community giving programs, and keep quality materials in circulation throughout its community. If your business, organization, or household has reusable building materials, furniture, appliances, or architectural salvage to donate, Community Forklift LLC'd love to hear from you. Learn more about what Community Forklift LLC accept and how your donation can make a difference by visiting its Donations page.
