Richmond Flying Squirrels

Who is ready for spring? What better sign than opening day of baseball season? We are so lucky to have a professional baseball team here in Richmond – the Richmond Flying Squirrels. The baseball is high level and going to the games is loaded with fun!

Opening Day is April 9^th at 6:35 P.M. vs. Bowie. Each time you go to see the Flying Squirrels, so much fun is packed into it – and that's not counting the game. There are between-inning contests, giveaways for fans, appearances by Nutsy and his friends, and between-inning entertainment.

In addition to all the activities, the Richmond Flying Squirrels have tons of game-day promotions. There are 21 fireworks games, 11 free T-shirt Fridays, World Series replica ring night, 11 Kids' Club Sundays, and so much more. Tickets are also very affordable (prices range between $8 and $13) and the prices include the game and all these promotions and fun!

If you like baseball, the Flying Squirrels have lots of talent, too. You never know when you will be watching a future Major Leaguer and maybe even a World Series performer. The parent club of the Flying Squirrels is the San Francisco Giants and they have won the World Series three out of the past five years. Some of the Giants from last year's team who played in Richmond are Brandon Belt, Brandon Crawford, Joe Panic and Hunter Strickland. Some big names!

Opening day, April 9^th is almost here and that means spring is right around the corner. Take the family to a game. Relax, enjoy the baseball and have lots of fun. It's very affordable and well worth it. Extra Attic loves the Flying Squirrels!
