CarMax Park set to be one of Richmond's largest event venues

State of play: The Richmond Flying Squirrels recently announced the launch of 804Live, its events company dedicated to making the CarMax Park a year-round entertainment destination when baseball isn't using the space.

• Some of the events 804Live hopes to book include concerts, boxing matches, festivals, corporate events, holiday parties and weddings, per a news release.
• Also on tap: Some unnamed "signature 804Live-branded events."

Between the lines: Not all of the events would take over the baseball field.

• CarMax Park will also have club houses, a restaurant and an outdoor patio.

What they're saying: "One aim of 804Live is to book some of the biggest and best musical acts, in what will be Richmond's biggest entertainment venue," Lou DiBella, the Squirrels' managing partner said in a statement.

By the numbers: CarMax can hold 14,000 people — nearly the city's largest entertainment venue. Brown's Island can do 16,000, per its website.

• Allianz can hold 7,500, and Virginia Credit Union LIVE! at Richmond Raceway can hold 6,000.
• The Siegel Center, which VCU said earlier this year would soon start hosting concerts, can host 7,600.
• The Richmond Coliseum, which shuttered in 2019, could hold around 13,000 people.

What's next: CarMax Park is scheduled to open on April 7.
