Ted Leonsis continues to impress. Even though he's got many more responsibilities as owner of the Wizards and Verizon Center (in addition to the Caps, of course), he continues to connect with the fans and take what they say to heart.
First, he was heard about the ketchup dispensers. Then, it was the urinals. And now, he's even helping his iPhone-bearing fans surf during a game (in between action, of course) -- despite the phone company rivalry.
But it gets better: Ted's going to help clean up after games so he can learn more about that part of the gameday experience. Name another owner of a near-billion dollar empire who's going to do that (and not for a TV show).
This certainly isn't the first time he's committed himself to fixing things at Verizon Center since he officially became Wizards owner. And it won't be the last.
As Caps fans, we can thank our lucky stars that we've got an owner that truly cares about the fans and literally puts money behind his words. I'm not talking about player contracts, I'm talking about every little nuance that goes into attending a game.
Cal Ripken, even after playing 2,632 consecutive games, always committed himself to get better. Fortunately for Caps and Wizards fans, Ted feels the same way.
