"The Diamond, the home of the Richmond Braves, is recognized as one of the finest facilities in all of minor league baseball. It has served as the Braves ballpark since the gates first opened on April 17, 1985. The stadium was built in seven months at a cost of $8 million on the same site of its predecessor, Parker Field.

"Perhaps the most outstanding aspect of this modern facility – other than the speed with which it was built – was the spirit of teamwork generated by the idea of a new home for the Richmond Braves. Cooperation was unprecedented between Baskervill & Son, Architects, the City of Richmond and its two neighboring counties, Chesterfield and Henrico. The three localities pitched in together with $4 million. The balance of the cost was raised through the public and private sectors, which railed enthusiastically around the fundraising campaign.

"The Diamond has a seating capacity of 12,134, consisting of 11,978 stadium seats and 156 luxury box seats. In addition to traditional seating, The Diamond Room features a 150-seat restaurant- The Diamond – with a glass wall that affords an excellent view of the playing field from the first base side of the stadium.

"The Diamond is operated by the Richmond Metropolitan Authority and leased to the Braves. It is conveniently located just off Interstate 95."

The same IGNORANT DOLTS who run the RMA TOLL Bonanza fer Chesterfield residents to subsidize Henrico, Richmond, and Hanover County residents!! SHEEEEESH!!

"Directions"

From North/ South
