River City Roller Derby stages Pride weekend doubleheader against Atlanta teams
River City is turning Pride weekend into a two-game derby night, with Riot vs. Atlanta Bs headlining a card built around vendors, a raffle and a food drive.
River City Roller Derby is turning Pride weekend into a full doubleheader at the Greater Richmond Convention Center, and the first bout carries the sharpest competitive edge. River City Riot will meet the Atlanta Bs at 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 13, before the River City River Rats face Atlanta’s C team at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 4 p.m. in Hall C at 403 N. 3rd St. in Richmond.
The setup is bigger than a standard game night. Tickets will be $15 at the door, kids 12 and under will get in free, and the building’s concession stand will be open inside Hall C. River City’s venue information also says parking will be available at the convention center, with the garage connected by an enclosed skywalk. Add vendors, a raffle, River City merchandise, halftime entertainment and a food drive for local mutual aid, and the evening is built as much for the concourse as for the track.
The Riot-Bs matchup brings the most immediate numbers. River City Riot enters 23rd in North America South with a 90.87 GPA and a 3-5 record, while Atlanta’s Bs are 27th with a 70.13 GPA and a 4-4 mark. River City’s recent results include a 297-151 win over Big Easy on May 2 and a 139-124 loss to Nashville A on April 11. Atlanta has split its last two, beating Memphis A 144-124 on April 25 after falling to Minnesota B 197-136 on April 18. Those scores point to two teams that can both get into the 140s, which is enough to make penalties, jammer control and lead changes matter from the first whistle.
History gives the event extra weight. River City says the league was founded in spring 2006 and became a Women’s Flat Track Derby Association member league in 2009. Its best regional ranking was 14th in November 2024, while Atlanta’s Bs reached as high as 9th in April 2024. River City also staged a Pride-themed home doubleheader against Nashville on June 14, 2025, and this year’s version extends that model: a visible weekend event, a packed house in Hall C and a headliner that could help define both teams’ summer trajectory.
