We are bringing the rodeo to The Diamond so pull out your best pair of boots and get ready to have FUNN!
Come join us for a rodeo-themed night for Dinner on the Infield! We'll have food from different restaurants, an open bar, a mechanical bull, line dancing, live music from Gone Country RVA, lawn games, caricatures and this year, you'll be able to watch the Flying Squirrels take on the Altoona Curve on the big screen.
Come experience The Diamond in a whole new way!

The Richmond 34 led a peaceful sit-in at Thalhimers Department Store in downtown Richmond in 1960. The "Richmond 34" sit-in ultimately led to the integration of Thalhimers and influenced legislation in the Civil Rights Act of 1964. To celebrate the legacy of the Richmond 34, the Richmond Flying Squirrels award two (2) students a $2,000 scholarship, renewable for each of the four years they attend school. The students must be from the greater-Richmond area and attending either Virginia Union University or Virginia State University.
