    CHOW TIME!! Now to find a cold beer...
    John L.

    Great time at the Diamond in Richmond, VA! The food can be a tad expensive, but it's a ballpark! Lol! This was taken in 2020- yes, I'm a tad behind on posting. Were both looking forward to next season.

    I love visiting The Diamond a lover of baseball it is so much fun. The atmosphere is electric and it's always such a good time. I think my favorite food right now is the Big Dill Dog. It's a perfect combination with a nice cold beer for a day at the baseball field. A fun exciting visit every time. Can't wait to return to try the bold rock slushy!

    This was a very cute family night out. Seats were a little small so it made you feel like you were so close to the person next to you... oh because you were... but oh well... the Diamond has been there for forever and in all these years of my life growing up fairly close, I can't believe this was my first time going. It was nice. Food service was VERY SLOW... but i loved how all the employees were nice and how interactive they were with everyone. Would def go back!! The entire family had a great time!

    First time coming to a game. Had a great time! The concessions were plentiful with many options and the pricing was reasonable. The entertainment In between innings was fun and enjoyable.

    The Flying Squirrels took up roost at The Diamond after the Braves abandoned RVA. They have captured the hearts and minds of the Richmond community. The Diamond is an older stadium and sadly it is showing its age. The concourses are far too crammed and there are not enough concession booths. Amenities aside, this is a great place to watch baseball. The Richmond skyline beyond the outfield fence makes for a beautiful sight. The field seemed to be in pretty good shape. I have to say that the field at The Diamond was in great shape on Saturday night, compared to the field condition last Wednesday at Nationals Park. Their outfield looks awful. Big fan of the beer selection here. My first time having Sweetwater beer since 2019 when I had it in Chicago. Coming across Sweetwater on the 200 level was an unexpected win. Beer prices were not that bad compared to other ballparks. I liked the Squirelly Fries. The game on Saturday night was Grateful Dead night. I'm not a Deadhead, but the theme was still fun and the team wore psychedelic jerseys. It'd be cool if they have Rush night or Slayer night. The game wasn't a sellout but it was at least 75% full. The fans had a lot of enthusiasm. The Flying Squrriels do a fantastic job at providing entertainment for the fans. They have a nice thing going.

    1st ever baseball game

    Small stadium but very good sight seeing! Had an awesome time at the stadium, beings though this is my first baseball game I was impressed at the players! Real good crowd.. Food is decent, good drinks, good seating!

    I've lived in Richmond for years and had somehow never made it to a Flying Squirrels game. Now in less than a week I've been to two! I'm not a huge baseball fan, but I still had a blast. It's great for people watching, the fans are enthusiastic, and the stadium plays upbeat music and has silly games and competitions to keep the crowd entertained. The Diamond also has frequent promotions such as giveaways to the first 1000 fans as well as nightly specials. Mondays are Bark in the Park, which means that you can bring your dog to the game, and Wednesdays are Wine nights with happy hour specials ($5 per glass, $6 per slushie) from one hour before the game until one hour into the game. I was pleasantly surprised by concessions available, which are relatively varied and not nearly as extortionate as some other ballparks. There are ice cream vendors, a seafood stand, specialty hotdogs and bratwurst, as well as your classics like hamburgers and funnel cake. A 16oz craft beer (regardless of ABV or type) is about $7, and a supersized 32oz is $12.50. I recommend getting a regular hot dog, which was tasty and only $2.50. General admission tickets are $8-10 and parking in any of the surrounding lots is $5 (cash only). You can also park across the road in Scotts Addition and walk to the Diamond. Unfortunately the stadium is not very accessible for disabilities. I saw one wheelchair lift from ground level to the field level ($10-12) seating area, but everywhere else seems to be blocked off by narrow staircases with high steps that can be difficult for anyone to navigate, especially for children or while holding drinks or food. Most of the stadium staff is very friendly, but some of the ushers are a bit aggressive. One threatened to throw out anyone who heckled the players or used curse words, which is a bit of an extreme reaction to fans who weren't otherwise causing a disturbance.

    My recent vacation with my friend Katie, was the Eastern League All-Star Game, held on July 10, 2019. This was a four day festival, beginning on Sunday July 7, 2019 at 7 p.m. on Browns Island. Monday will hosted a concert at Richmond Raceway, Tuesday was The Home Run Derby at The Diamond, with Wednesday being the All-Star game at The Diamond. It was an outstanding experience. The whole All-Star Celebration was fantastic! The organization put on an exceptional celebration, even down to the fireworks show after the All-Star Game. Todd "Parney" Parnell, the VP and COO with Ben Rothrock the general Manager were there to meet and greet the fans throughout the series of events. I look forward to attending games when I am in town. The Western Division beat the Eastern Division 5-0 in 9 innings.

    Outside of the stadium. Always busy here on game day!

    Seeing a Flying Squirrels game is always a good time for the family, for hanging out with a friend (or friends) who want to enjoy a nice day while also drinking beer outside, or just those who love the game. This stadium really makes the effort to keep you happy and coming back. I went to see the opening game this year with a friend and it was great. They had a "motorcycle" on a high wire act, a man jumping through a ring of fire, fireworks, clowns (though that might be a disincentive for some!), and lots of other sideshows as well. They even had Seattle Seahawks player Michael Robinson throw the first pitch, which was pretty cool for any NFL fans who happened to be into baseball on this particular day. Pricing here is good, and discounted tickets make it even better (I live right down the street from the stadium, so I get them for free from my apartment complex, woo!). You'll see pretty quickly based on the announcements and the food/drink prices that they don't care about profiting on the tickets: they're banking on concessions sales and advertising. Nothing wrong with those, just be sure to factor that into your thinking. My advice: eat a meal pre-game, and have dessert there. They have great desserts, and a unique one I enjoyed: a fried PB&J uncrustable. It was amazing! (By the way, download "Bypass Lane" app for your phone to order concessions without waiting in line, they'll text you when your food is ready!) The Squirrels didn't really seem to have their heart in it (final score was 6-1, sadly), though baseball is kind of like fishing a bit: sometimes it's just nice to have an excuse to be outside enjoying a nice day and consuming large amounts of beer without being arrested. And after all, isn't that the true American dream? Overall: 4.0 stars ------------- Pros: -Tickets are VERY affordable (seats start at $7) -Weekly ticket discounts make it easy to get in even cheaper (some nights you can even get a 2-for-1 deal just by bringing a McDonalds receipt, that's a deal!) -LOTS of special events and giveaways. -Some good food offerings, and beer is definitely there! -Seating is good, and there are no obstructions which might ruin a particular section's view. -Very kid-friendly. Cons: -ALWAYS a long line at concessions. Use the app "Bypass Lane" to order your food through your phone and they'll text you when it's ready to pick up! -Food's not cheap, though that's pretty clearly because food/beer is where the stadium draws its profits from (that and all the advertising!). -If your evening out is ruined when the home team loses, welllll.... maybe you better check out the team they're playing before buying tickets. :-P

    Visited the flying squirrels for their home opener of 2018. Pros: Entertainment was amazing, they keep the crowd heavily involved and it encompasses all ages. Very humor filled with games, competitions, and free prizes. The fire works show was the BEST, it lasted about 15 minutes with dancers in light up suits on the middle of the field. Very kid and adult friendly even outside of the entertainment the game brings to itself. Food and beverages are reasonably priced with specials and sales for combos. Cons: Decided to walk to the venue because parking seemed impossible with a small lot. Lines for food and beer were at least a 15-20minute wait because the service was so slow. The usher we encountered was rude when we were looking for our seats. Also they should use some sort of identification on their stadium stairs because the difference in height makes them difficult to navigate with food and people.

The home team is always getting high fives from the fans as they come on and off the field. After the game, you are encouraged to travel onto the field for pictures and autographs with the players and Lady Raiders. These players and Lady Raiders are part of the community and love the support they get from their fans. If you have never been to a game. You need to come, there are 4 games left.

    A great atmosphere! Great energy! Big fun!!…read more This was my second year attending the camp, but this year I attended as a VIP guest!!! Talk about comfort...this time around was so much more rewarding. The first year I attended in 2016...it was at least 100 degrees...no shade in sight basically. But there were oscillating fans blowing mist throughout the crowd. But it's a large open field on a hill full of Redskins Fans...but the heat OMG!! There are areas for children to play as well. This year wasn't as packed as the year 2016, but the energy was still present. Well fast forward to this year...air conditioned tent with tables and chairs...free snacks including chips, water, soda and a voucher to use at Papa John's (tent on site). So to get all this... I won a contest Papa John's hosted on FaceBook - so yeah, go like their page now!! We also were warranted an up close and personal view of the coaching staff and the players. We were positioned away from the main crowd. An unforgettable experience that I am so looking forward too next year. Not sure if it will be held here next year, I believe the team is looking at other locations to host the camp. We drove up from Chesapeake...about a 90 minute drive well worth your time especially if you're a fan of the Redskins. We parked in a parking lot ($10 or $20) about a half a mile away from the training facility. Remember to stay hydrated and bring money for parking and snacking. Bring a lawn chair too and perhaps memorabilia and a sharpie to obtain signatures. Small coolers are allowed as well. But if you forget your memorabilia or want something new/else there is a store on site that includes all types of items from pens to jerseys. FREE to attend - FREE to take pictures - Porta Potty rentals (unisex) are present as well as mini sinks to wash your hands. Have fun and enjoy life! HTTR!!

Staff at the stadium were friendly and helped us make sure we were in the correct area for seating. Shortly after taking our seats, we were upgraded to VIP seats thanks to Lauren's social media talents!

It was a wonderful Saturday night spent with great people enjoying one of the few professional sports Richmond VA has to offer.
