RCS, CITY CLOSE ON SALE OF McBRIDE STADIUM

(Richmond, IN)--Richmond Community Schools and the city of Richmond officially closed on the sale of McBride Stadium Tuesday afternoon.  The sale actually includes not just McBride, but also the softball field between McBride and Cordell Pool and an area across Clear Creek with a softball field and what was commonly referred to as the Babe Ruth baseball field.  RCS has committed to an investment of half a million dollars to upgrade the area.  The city receives $12,000 and the first right of refusal if RCS ever sells the land.  A cleanup day has been set for Saturday at McBride to help prepare it for the upcoming season.
