The County of Henrico entered into a Moral Obligation Agreement with the City of Richmond, County of Chesterfield and Richmond Metropolitan Authority (RMA) on Aug. 8, 1984 to construct, finance and own an athletic stadium to replace the Parker Field facility. The Stadium Operating Committee was established as an advisory panel to the Board of Directors of the RMA to oversee the construction, operation and maintenance of the new stadium, later named The Diamond. The Committee was also assigned responsibility for making recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning the most cost-effective and best use of the stadium and its activities.

The Committee is comprised of up to 10 voting members who serve indefinite terms until replaced by the RMA Board of Directors, and includes the General Manager of the RMA, two representatives from each of the participating local jurisdictions, and three representatives from the private sector. Three additional individuals currently serve on the Committee as non-voting members.  

The Committee meets the second Wednesday of each month at 7:30 a.m. at The Diamond.
