The Flying Squirrels are inviting fans to share photos of their memories at the Diamond for a chance to be featured in the team’s 2025 calendar.

The Diamond has been the home of baseball in Richmond since 1985. Next year’s season is expected to be the last in the iconic stadium, since the new CarMax Park is scheduled to start hosting games at the beginning of the 2026 season.

If you have a photo — or a photo of a photo — of one of your favorite ballpark memories from the last 40 years, you can enter the contest by uploading the image online by the end of November.
