Virginia Credit Union Stadium

Virginia Credit Union Stadium sits in the Celebrate Virginia South mixed-use development on the west side of Fredericksburg just off I-95 — a master-planned commercial and residential district built in the 2010s as Fredericksburg's western growth corridor matured. The blocks immediately around the ballpark are new mixed-use construction, retail, and the I-95 corridor commercial parcels. Downtown Fredericksburg — one of Virginia's most-preserved historic small-city downtowns, with the Rappahannock River waterfront, the Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park (commemorating the Civil War's Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Wilderness, and Spotsylvania Court House battles), Caroline Street's restaurant and shopping strip, and the historic University of Mary Washington campus — sits a short drive east and is the canonical pre- or post-game destination. Washington, D.C. sits roughly 60-90 minutes north on I-95 and the VRE Fredericksburg line. Richmond sits roughly 60 minutes south. The neighborhood reads as a brand-new ballpark development node with historic downtown Fredericksburg as the dining and tourism anchor.

Plan to arrive about 45-60 minutes before first pitch — Celebrate Virginia South parking is well-signed with ample capacity. Virginia Credit Union Stadium opened in 2020 as the new home of the Fredericksburg Nationals (the FredNats), an expansion-by-relocation franchise placed in Fredericksburg by the Washington Nationals to replace the Potomac Nationals (the Woodbridge, Virginia franchise the Nationals had operated at the older Pfitzner Stadium). The FredNats have been the Washington Nationals' Single-A Carolina League affiliated club continuously since the 2020 debut under MLB's 2021 minor-league reorganization (which moved the Carolina League to the Single-A level). The 2020 inaugural season was significantly disrupted by COVID's MiLB calendar cancellation, so 2021 was effectively the venue's first full season. Naming rights are with Virginia Credit Union, the Virginia state employees' credit union. The street address — 42 Jackie Robinson Way — is a Jackie Robinson tribute. Mobile-only tickets are the norm. Bag policy and gate-open times shift season to season; confirm on the FredNats' site before going.

The ballpark sits in the Celebrate Virginia South mixed-use development on the west side of Fredericksburg just off I-95, making it one of the most directly I-95-accessible MiLB venues in the country and a clean drive for DMV-area Nationals fans. The street address — 42 Jackie Robinson Way — is a deliberate Jackie Robinson tribute.
