Richmond Flying SquirrelsTickets to Opening Night for the 2021 Richmond Flying Squirrels season have sold out, the team announced on Friday. Limited tickets are still available for the remaining games of the team’s first four homestands.

The Flying Squirrels open the 2021 season on Tuesday, May 4 at The Diamond against the Hartford Yard Goats.
