Richmond Braves seeking new stadium
The Braves organization is once again eagerly working to win city approval to build a new $330-million stadium for the Richmond Braves in the Shockoe Bottom of downtown Richmond, Virginia. The team and development partner Global Development Partners LLC hope to secure approval within four to six months, begin construction in 2006 and open the park in 2008. Concerns remain over drainage problems in Shockoe Bottom that came to bear after flooding caused by Tropical Storm Gaston last August. However, the team and developer believe a drainage system solution can be formulated before construction begins.
