CarMax Park opens amid $6.5M dispute, unclear VCU deal

The big picture: The Navigators, the parent company of the Flying Squirrels, threatened legal action this year against the city's Economic Development Authority, claiming they're owed $6.5 million in stadium-related costs.

• While the EDA voted last month to increase its contribution to the ballpark from $114 million to $120 million, neither side has indicated whether the dispute has been resolved.
• Neither the city nor the Navigators responded to Axios' questions about whether the fight is over — or escalating.

What else is unclear: Whether the Navigators and VCU will reach an agreement to allow the university's baseball team to play at CarMax Park. Negotiations reportedly resumed last month.

• VCU, the Navigators and the city didn't return a request for comment.

What we're watching: Whether updates get brought up at the EDA's next board meeting on April 23.
