We arrived in Richmond in the late afternoon just in time to get a quick bite to eat before heading to “The Diamond.” Built in 1964, it went through some major renovations in 1985. The stadium reminds me of the huge concrete bowl structures that were oh so popular in the 1970s, such as the Vet and Three Rivers Stadium. It’s unlike many of the other stadiums in that you can definitely feel the separation between the fans and the players on the field. Currently the city is in talks of constructing a new stadium but not much has come from those plans.

We were able to raffle off a solid prize tonight—thanks to Ben, Sarah, and Leah for getting everything together for us during the course of the night. Here is a picture of our lucky winners, Darrick and Michaiah, who chased us around the stadium and bought a bunch of tickets from us. Thanks guys!
