(Richmond, IN)--McBride Stadium is being purchased by Richmond Community Schools.  The stadium, which has stood at the corner of Peacock Road and North West 13^th for the last 87 years, is being purchased from the city for $12,000 after the RCS Board gave unanimous approval Wednesday night.  RCS was paying $6800 per year to the city for the use of the field.  Attorney Ron Cross said the transition will take a while.  "Closing probably will not occur this year.  It will probably be shortly after the first of the year."  The Richmond Jazz, which is part of the Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League, is now saying that the suspension of next summer’s season is a direct result of the uncertainty surrounding ownership of their home, McBride Stadium.  This week, the Jazz issued a statement saying "we are unable to solidify what our partnership will look like moving forward."  The Jazz said they will re-evaluate their plans for the 2025 season.  The Jazz have been in an agreement with the city of Richmond since the team’s inaugural season of 2016.
