State Tournament at Glen Allen Stadium
We’ve uncovered some news and information about the field on which Fairfax should play during the State Tournament in Glen Allen, Virginia. The stadium hosted the 14 year old Babe Ruth World Series in 2007 and got a fair amount of media coverage. For example, the HenricoMagazine.com website says, “Glen Allen Stadium has the feel of a professional facility for fans and players. There is individual seating with cool details like the hitter and the diamond on the armrest. Two railcars add to the beauty of the ballpark. Players rave about the spacious dugouts, which are complete with private bathrooms.”The Henrico County website adds, “Welcome to Henrico County’s new, state-of-the-art Glen Allen Stadium at RF&P Park. The $4 million facility, which opened in March 2007, features covered bleachers with more than 600 individual seats; sunken dugouts with restrooms; a large digital scoreboard and message board; and a fully lighted and irrigated playing field engineered for quick drainage. Henrico voters approved funding for the stadium in the 2005 bond referendum.”
