Riverwalk Stadium in Montgomery, AL, is the home of the Montgomery Biscuits, the Tampa Bay Rays' Double-A Southern League farm team. The annual University of Alabama-Auburn University baseball showdown, played here, has drawn three house-record crowds. The ballpark has also hosted the Black College World Series in 2021, 2022, and 2023.

Designed by HOK Sport (now Populous), it opened in 2004 for the former Orlando Rays to move into. It was built on the site of a former railroad station that later housed the Riverfront Inn, integrating parts of the historic buildings in its design. That train terminal is now six suites along first base, with 14 more suites and the wonderfully named Biscuit Basket souvenir store along third.

An American flag flies in a notched-in curve off right field, and a 25-foot-wide baseball graphic is embedded in the pavement of the Coosa-Tallapoosa-Jefferson traffic circle in front of the ballpark.

The Hank Williams Museum is a four-minute walk away, with the Rosa Parks Museum only five minutes beyond.

Stadium Facts

Big Mo During a game in 2013.

Construction of Montgomery Riverwalk Stadium was completed in early 2004 and the first pitch was recorded on April 16th of that year. The ballpark is located at Coosa St. and Tallapoosa St., where a historic train station used to stand. However, instead of knocking down the existing buildings they were incorporated into the ballpark. A new building was constructed down the third base line, but it blends in well from outside. If it weren't for the light towers, you would have no idea that a ballpark was there. There are only about 15 rows of seating, so all seats are relatively close to the field. There are train tracks that run directly behind the left field fence, with trains passing by during the game adding a special touch to a game.
