There are five new ballparks in 2026: Hillsboro, Oregon; Ontario, California; Wilson, North Carolina; Chattanooga, Tennessee and Richmond, Virginia. We will have in-depth reviews of them all, but first we’re examining CarMax Park in Richmond, built adjacent to the city’s baseball home that opened in 1985. That’s a long time between new stadiums, but CarMax was worth the wait, with more features than any new Minor League park from recent years.
There are more upscale hospitality spaces than anywhere other than Las Vegas, and dining options that rival Salt Lake.
And this is a ballpark for a Double-A team? Yes. This new venue is what a Triple-A market like Richmond deserves for its Eastern League franchise.
So check out our review that includes over 6,000 words and 32 pictures that you can only find here at BaseballParks.com.
