All the teams in the new league are strong competitors and have solid and stable ownership. Being located in SEC and ACC territory, each team has a wealth of football talent to draw upon." She went on to say, "We are also excited about all the improvements in the Richmond Coliseum with the completion of new seating in much of the arena."

Mrs. Fraizer said, "We advise anyone who loves football to secure seats with the purchase of a season ticket. We plan to advertise and promote heavily this year in order to create high awareness of our games, and we expect that to pay off with high attendance. With players from Virginia Tech, the University of Virginia, the University of Richmond, Virginia Union, Virginia State, and William & Mary, we think it will be easy for people in Richmond to become Raiders' fans. Chances are one or more of the players they followed while in college will be on our team."
