STATEMENT: Mayor Danny Avula, VCU President Rao on CarMax Park


"I could not be more excited and optimistic about the momentum we have headed into an amazing season of baseball at the City’s brand new CarMax Park. This is an ambitious, complicated project involving the Richmond Economic Development Authority, which owns the ballpark, and multiple partners, and our shared work to get it across home plate isn’t finished. I am committed to supporting our partners and getting this thing done. I’m confident that we’ll all be playing ball in the coming months."

-Mayor Danny Avula


"VCU remains committed to working together with our partners on an exciting and successful season of baseball in CarMax Park. We are optimistic about bringing to closure the final details and are committed to doing so because our partnership with the other players on this project is important."

-VCU President Michael Rao
