The last stop on my little weekend adventure was an afternoon day game in Richmond, VA. The Richmond Braves played my Norfolk Tides.
The Diamond has the distinction of being built just a few years before the big ballpark boom, started by, among others, the Tides' Harbor Park. What a difference a few years and 90 miles makes!
The Diamond was built in a part of town I'd describe as "warehousey." It is convenient to I-95, and to the surrounding parking lots, but not much else. It was also built very quickly, during one off-season.
It is a very basic, symmetrical stadium, with one huge grandstand. The concourse is accessed by steps, something that always irks me.
The picture shows a massive roof over the stand- a good feature in my opinion. Plenty of cover for those rainy days when they keep playing the game!
