Richmond Raceway unveiled a completed $500,000 amphitheater redevelopment at Virginia Credit Union LIVE! in May 2019. The capital investment included a reseating of the venue to create flexible seating and additional aisles to offer fans the best views and concert experience. The new removable padded seats in the front half of the venue provide flexible options for the amphitheater to offer reserved seating, general admission seating, or a standing pit area. The expanded pit area allows more rock and alternative shows to perform at the venue.

As part of the redevelopment, Richmond partnered with Anheuser-Busch, Bold Rock Cider, Devils Backbone, and Brown Distributing for the new Virginia Credit Union LIVE! party deck, the Bud Light Patio. The section is located to the right of the stage with tiered viewing, high top tables and chairs, ADA seating, and private bar. Tickets for the Bud Light Patio will be available for concerts this season.

Additional improvements to Virginia Credit Union LIVE! include a porta bar on the hill overlooking concerts and updated public restrooms. The back of house has also been redeveloped to improve the experience for entertainers with updated star rooms and other new features.
