RICHMOND, Va. – The Richmond Flying Squirrels and Woodfin – Your Home Team are proud to announce a continued partnership as a Founding Partner of the new CarMax Park, celebrating their shared commitment to community, connection and hometown pride that has defined both teams for generations.

“We’ve always felt a special connection with the Flying Squirrels,” said Jen Loving, Chief Operating Officer of Woodfin – Your Home Team. “They bring people together with the same warmth and pride that have guided Woodfin for generations. The Yard is a reflection of that spirit, a place for our neighbors, families, and friends to gather, celebrate, and enjoy the moments that make this community so special.”

The Yard, Woodfin’s signature fan experience area inside CarMax Park, reflects the company’s ongoing investment in Richmond by creating a welcoming space where comfort meets connection and families can make memories that last long after the final inning.
