Revolution owner Peter Kirk outlined a $28-million plan to renovate Richmond's Diamond at Ballpark Digest. Kirk and Opening Day Partners made a strong play to move an Atlantic League club or affiliated club into the ballpark after the Braves Triple-A affiliate left for suburban-Atlanta after the 2008 season.
But the plan to bring a Double-A affiliate from Connecticut to Virginia fell through, so Kirk and ODP is back in the picture again. The latest proposal calls for a portion of the Diamond to be saved in an upgrade for an outdated ballpark. Kirk's plans calls for a team to be in place in Richmond as soon as next season.
