I have lived in Richmond my whole life and have always loved the idea of having a major sports franchise here. I just don't think it will ever happen. We have been through a litany of minor league teams.

The most well-known of these, the Richmond Braves AAA affiliate of the Atlanta Braves just moved out of town because the a-hole city council couldn't get its act together to build a new stadium. We have also had hockey, Richmond Renegades, Richmond Riverdogs, Richmond Renegades 2.0, several arena league football teams. But none of them have stuck.

I think Richmond is a bit too small market of a team with allegiances divided between DC, NC, and MD. I would love for this to happen one day but I doubt it ever will.
