I feel that The Diamond is Doomed to History in Richmond, Virginia. I'd love Richmond and I've never been to Richmond, and this Cuts a Deep Nerve because the Diamond is Not Riverfront Stadium in Waterloo, which is Still in Commission, and John O'Donnell Riverfront Stadium in Davenport, which is its Original Name.
I am thinking a lot of 2020 is making Minor League Baseball Full Season Towns play "Scared to Lose" like Lisa Loeb's "Stay" and Towns like Mine had to basically, reskin a Period Specific Late 1990's/Early 2000's Stadium to keep Baseball in Business in Cedar Rapids.
The whole selling point of The Diamond was having More Bathrooms than that of Texas Stadium, which has since been decommissioned and that was in the National Sports News. The reality in the 804 is Everyone has Been Arguing and No One has been Cranking Up The Juice, especially if their Team (The R-Braves) hit the exits over the Same Diamond.
Nothing Good Comes Out of the Box if Labor Day is the Finale, and I wished everyone in the RVA heeded that lesson in the 2000's because they'd now have little and no other choice but to build new.
