From the outside, the building has this classic warehouse vibe that fits right in with the historic feel of the area. There's a big sign so you can't really miss it, and the overall look is super inviting if you're into that old-school industrial style. When you up to the entrance, you'll go up the stairs to find the staff checking your tickets. Once you're inside, the place opens up into a big, open floor plan with a solid mix of standing room and a few spots to sit along the wall. The layout works well for concerts, the sightlines are good, and everything feels close to the stage even if you're not right up front. The inside keeps that warehouse feel going. It's exposed brick, high ceilings, just a bit gritty in a cool way. The bar is off to the side and stretches pretty long, so grabbing a drink was quick! Bartenders were friendly and the drink selection covers the basics. Nothing wild, but you'll find everything you need for a good night out. I went to see Jutes for the first time, and it was such an awesome show. The energy in the room was electric, and the sound quality was surprisingly clear for a venue this size. Everyone seemed to be having a great time, and you could feel the crowd's excitement the whole set! This was definitely a solid spot for live music in Richmond. I love a small concert venue, and would definitely go back for another concert!

The atmosphere is always lively, the staff is welcoming, and the beer is always flowing to enjoy while watching the game. It's a great local experience that never disappoints. The promotions are always a blast, the fireworks nights are fantastic, and it really captures the classic minor league charm. The tickets are cheap and the mascot is cool. I think catching a game is one of the best things to do in Richmond.

Given that it is the off-season, teams usually have a significant clearance section due to incoming merchandise for their new season. As luck would have it, I was right; several hats and shirts were 40-50% off. Plus, I had the opportunity to ask some questions with the team's staff. They mentioned that I needed to return for the 2025 season; plus, they're building a new stadium called CarMax Park, which will open in 2026. Also, you can't miss the stadium; I mentioned to the staff that it looks as if someone dropped a section of Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium in Richmond.

My social league team made the bocce finals last month and they were held in City Stadium…read more It was my first visit; otherwise I had only driven by or seen it in the distance. Also I'm not a soccer fan so the chances of my future attendance at a Kickers game are slim to none. I do know some larger-scale events are held here, though. The stadium could definitely use a touch of paint. It's clearly been around for a while. But the field was nice and made for good bocce ball throwing. The stands were fine too. I didn't use the restrooms or buy any concessions. I'd return in the future if a festival or event sounds fun.

This was my first visit to the Kicker's stadium so I wasn't sure what to expect. Here are my…read morethoughts: Pros: Lots of loyal fans and plenty of space for kids to play. Tons of food options and vendors which is great. The stadium overall is run down, but it's a part of the Richmond experience to me, so no big deal there. Cons: The speaker system is TERRIBLE and needs replacing... it's very loud and muffled, almost like I'm watching an episode of Charlie Brown. This was the most annoying part of the game. Tickets a $12 a piece, for anyone over the age of 3. This seems like a bit much to me - GA tickets at the Squirrels stadium are $7 a piece, I feel like it should be more comparable there. Also, I think kids under 10 shouldn't be $12 either, maybe more like $8 or just less. I can't imagine paying more per ticket than what we paid for this game. Overall it was a good game although Kickers lost 1-0. I would come back, even though I'm not a diehard soccer fan!

Yep, I'm a fan of this concert series and look forward to it every year! I saw Iron & Wine this evening at Groovin' in the Garden and it was just as delightful as I remembered. Despite the rain creating a minor delay, the show seemed to go off without a hitch. My one complaint is that they don't allow you to bring in outside food, so you're stuck with ordering from their concession options. Luckily, they have quite the variety, with healthier options that you don't often find at concerts. I didn't purchase anything this evening - and I'm glad I wasn't too hungry, because the food line was insanely long for a good part of the show. The beer line, on the other hand, moved super quick! I appreciate that they offer both beer and wine choices, so there's something to please every palate. Groovin' in the Garden is held in such a relaxing venue, and I always dig the vibe of the crowd at their shows. The staff is super organized and helpful and the lines to enter the venue move quickly (although, I suggest printing your tickets at home, because will call definitely takes a little longer). Bring your lawn chairs or blankets, cash for bites and beverages, and be ready for a great night.

It provides a fun opportunity to enjoy music and a beautiful atmosphere. Gates for each concert open at 5:30 p.m. and the opening band goes on at 6 p.m. Ticket prices vary depending on the act and are always less expensive in advance than at the door. Food, beer and wine are for sale. Acts for the 2010 season include Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, Keller Williams, Patty Griffin, Josh Ritter and Mason Jennings, Zappa Plays Zappa and Arlo Guthrie. I guess maybe it's all the greenery, but there's something about listing to music here that feels very relaxing. Grab some friends, head to the garden and spend a relaxing night chilling out and listening to music.

The fan area is right outside the main gate and easy to navigate. They had lots of autograph sessions before the races that weekend. Best part was having pit passes to go behind the scenes during the race. It was a unique experience that created lots of memories.
