With <strong>Ted Leonsis<\/strong> now running the Wizards, they should shoot up this list for next year as fan relations, ownership, stadium experience and players are all expected to be much improved. The Nats probably only improve on Players (i.e. <strong>Stephen Strasburg<\/strong>) for the next survey.
