Just released today. Details the financial problems plaguing Steve Burton and SportsQuest. The Richmond Revolution are no more. Article claims they will only be out one year, but the team will probably never return. I wouldn't trust Steve Burton as far as I could throw him.
It is officially a one-year hiatus, the team still exist, it is just dormant. Will it return maybe, more than likely though we will see a combination of the two Richmond franchises. If SportsQuest ever builds an arena, that is where they will play. Playing at an outdated Coliseum is just a waste.
ReplyDeleteA combination team...very interesting. That I would pay to see.
ReplyDeleteI agree the Coliseum could use some work, however the games are still exciting to watch.
Next time you post you should put a name next to your comment, but I do appreciate your sharing regardless.
Personally, I think the Revolution and SportsQuest business venture was a big failure. I think it would be a waste of time and money to bring them back while the company has already lost so much as is.
ReplyDeleteI agree Brian. Burton tried to do too much too fast with no enough care or focus on the football side of the business.
