      <![CDATA[While back in Dec. 2012 and Jan. 2013. I attended the community meeting held at St. Mary's Hospital I spoke about the using of Richmond Contractors to do the building and maintenance of the facilities, expressing concern about using local business's in Richmond.<br>

<br>
Note the following attendance figures for the WR in the past 4 years of arguably the worst economy since the Great Depression. This is just for the regular season for a team with a lackluster record.<br>

Year       Total        Avg.<br>
2012 - 637,236 - 79,654<br>
2011 - 615,368 - 76,921<br>
2010 - 665,380 - 83,172<br>
2009 - 678,352 - 84,794<br>

Also note, Richmond is on the rise.
