RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) -- Tickets to the Richmond Flying Squirrels' Opening Night at The Diamond on Friday have sold out for the 15th consecutive season.
According to the Richmond Flying Squirrels, the team's opener has sold out in each of its 15 seasons at The Diamond dating back to 2010.
The sold-out crowd will kick off the 40th anniversary and final season at The Diamond on Friday, April 4 as the Flying Squirrels play against the Akron RubberDucks.
“To sell out every home opener in 15 seasons at The Diamond is an incredible feat of which Richmonders should be extremely proud,” said Flying Squirrels General Manager Anthony Oppermann. “We fully expect this to be the start of a record-breaking year as we close this chapter of our franchise’s history in this iconic ballpark.”
National Baseball Hall of Fame inductee and former Richmond Braves pitcher John Smoltz will throw out the ceremonial first pitch before Friday night’s game.
According to the Flying Squirrels, tickets are still available for the team's other two Opening Weekend games on Saturday, April 5 and Sunday, April 6, as well as the rest of the 2025 season.
