Montgomery Riverwalk Stadium: A Historic Ballpark

Montgomery Riverwalk Stadium, a jewel in downtown Montgomery, Alabama, is more than just a baseball park; it's a vibrant part of the city's revitalization. Opened in 2004, the stadium is home to the Montgomery Biscuits, the Double-A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays. What sets this stadium apart is its integration with a historic train shed, dating back to the late 1800s. The exterior of the first-base side preserves the original facade, creating a unique architectural blend of old and new.The stadium has a seating capacity of 7,000, offering a mix of seating options, including lawn seating, 20 luxury suites (six within the old train terminal), and picnic areas that can accommodate up to 4,000 fans. A children's playground along the third-base line adds to the family-friendly atmosphere. The Club Car Bar, located down the first base line, and the video board capable of instant replay enhance the fan experience.Riverwalk Stadium has played a significant role in Montgomery's sports scene, hosting the NCAA Division II baseball championship from 2004 to 2007 and the Sun Belt Conference baseball tournament since 2021. It also hosted the Alabama high school baseball championship until 2021. The stadium is not only a venue for baseball but also hosts concerts and other events. Its design, atmosphere, and location near the Alabama River make it a special place for locals and tourists alike.
