Since the Washington Commanders don't use it, the city of Richmond is turning a former football facility into the home of its Parks & Recreation department.
There's a 15-acre patch of land the Washington Commanders apparently have no use for in Richmond, Virginia that hasn't seen NFL football since the Football Team was still awaiting their new nickname and logo.
Since the Commanders aren't going to use it, the city of Richmond intends to take over control of it and repurpose the land as the home of its Department of Parks & Recreation. That is according to"The eight-year deal, often criticized because of its cost to the city, was not renewed after it expired. In 2018, the city refinanced the $10 million loan it used to build the complex, requiring Richmond to pay about $700,000 annually until 2033," Kolenich's report says.
"Last year, Mayor Levar Stoney said he wanted to turn the facility into a green space for city residents."

"The property’s new use accomplishes several goals spelled out in the Richmond 300 plan, such as increasing public access to green spaces and parks, said Lincoln Saunders, the city’s chief administrative officer," the report also stated.David Harrison has covered the NFL since 2015 as a digital content creator in both written and audio media.
