As the city of Richmond plans for the future of the City Stadium property, officials will consider a variety of options ranging from a senior-citizen community to an indoor athletic facility that could replace the Arthur Ashe Center.

A study of potential sports uses for the roughly 20-acre site has produced four recommendations: an indoor athletic facility, a complex of Little League diamonds, a multipurpose field complex or a rejuvenated soccer stadium.

A separate study of nonsports uses proposed a mixture of apartments and single-family housing, a senior community or a purely single-family development with detached homes and/or town houses.

With the two studies in hand, nearby neighborhoods are working with the nonprofit Storefront for Community Design to craft a community response that will be submitted to city officials.

“I think we have much more of an understanding in the neighborhood that something does need to be done,” said Leslie Moore of the Stadium Civic Association. “Things are not going to stay the same, because we don’t want the property to sit there and continue to deteriorate. That’s not good for any neighborhood.”
