Not only does April include the opening home game of the Richmond Flying Squirrels’ 2026 season, it also signals the start of a new era for the team. On April 7, the Squirrels will take the field for the first ballgame at the brand-new stadium, CarMax Park, which will feature the local debut of their new logos and jerseys after an offseason redesign.
The San Francisco Giants’ Double-A affiliate kicks off their schedule on April 3 in Erie, Pennsylvania, before returning to RVA for the sold-out inaugural opener in the new ballpark. Fans can still snag tickets for the April 8-12 home games against the Altoona Curve. The week includes promotions such as a dog-friendly night, a fireworks show and an opportunity for kids to run the bases.
Tickets start at $15.
